The BGMI 4.6 update is expected to be the next major update for Battlegrounds Mobile India after the recently released 4.5 version. While KRAFTON India has not officially announced the release date, previous updates suggest that BGMI usually receives the same content shortly after the global PUBG Mobile update. Since the PUBG Mobile 4.6 Beta is already live and the testing phase will continue until late August, Indian players can expect the BGMI 4.6 update to arrive in early September 2026. Here’s everything we know so far about the BGMI 4.6 update release date and more.
BGMI 4.6 update release date (Expected)
BGMI follows PUBG Mobile’s update cycle with a delay of around 7 to 10 days. Looking at the previous updates, the pattern has remained almost the same.
| PUBG Mobile Update | Release Date | BGMI Update | Release Date | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PUBG Mobile 4.1 | November 6, 2025 | BGMI 4.1 | November 13, 2025 | 7 Days |
| PUBG Mobile 4.2 | January 7, 2026 | BGMI 4.2 | January 15, 2026 | 8 Days |
| PUBG Mobile 4.3 | March 12, 2026 | BGMI 4.3 | March 19, 2026 | 7 Days |
| PUBG Mobile 4.4 | May 12, 2026 | BGMI 4.4 | May 20, 2026 | 8 Days |
| PUBG Mobile 4.5 | July 9, 2026 | BGMI 4.5 | July 16, 2026 | 7 Days |
Based on this trend, if the PUBG Mobile 4.6 update launches during the last week of August 2026, the BGMI 4.6 update is likely to release 7 to 10 days later, which points to the first week of September 2026.
KRAFTON India has not confirmed the official release date yet, so this timeline is based on the game’s previous update schedule.

What can players expect in the BGMI 4.6 update?

KRAFTON India may also add some India-exclusive events and rewards when the update goes live.
PUBG Mobile Beta gives a preview
The PUBG Mobile 4.6 Beta is currently being tested in four phases, allowing selected players to try new features before the official release. Any bugs reported during the beta will be fixed before the update arrives in both PUBG Mobile and BGMI.
As more beta phases roll out, additional features are expected to be revealed.
Although the official announcement is still pending, the BGMI 4.6 update is expected to follow PUBG Mobile’s release pattern once again. If PUBG Mobile receives the 4.6 update by the end of August, BGMI players can likely expect the update during the first week of September 2026. Until then, players can keep an eye on the PUBG Mobile beta, which offers the first look at many of the features coming to BGMI.
