Battlegrounds Mobile India is a new battle royale game developed by Krafton to replace PUBG Mobile in India. This game is almost similar to its predecessor and all the features are partially replicated. One of the latest features in PUBG Mobile was 90FPS mode and some flagship mobiles can enable this option in BGMI as well.
PUBG Mobile is traditionally operated in 60FPS mode with slight frame drops in certain situations. The game is available on a wide range of phones and hence, the performance differs as per the specifications of any device. The developers added a new option of 90FPS for OnePlus devices at first and then, launched it globally on other high-end devices.
Battlegrounds Mobile India has a similar kind of support framework for this feature but it is not available to many devices even though their specifications are more than sufficient to handle 90 FPS. One of the reasons for this can be the fact that BGMI is still a new game and hence, developers are yet to optimize and launch this feature for many devices.
Most of the devices which support this feature are OnePlus phones. Some other devices support it as well but they might require an external agency such as a GFX tool to activate the feature. We do not recommend you use any application to enable 90FPS in BGMI.
The list of devices is as follows:
OnePlus Phones – All variants of OnePlus 7, Oneplus 8 and OnePlus 9.
Realme Phones – X2 Pro and X50 Pro.
Mi Phones – Mi 10, 10i and 11X Pro.
Oppo Phones – Reno 6 Pro.
This list is not completely accurate as there is no official portal that has released such information. Some other devices might also have 90 FPS support. Players who own high-end devices and still lack this feature can wait patiently till the developers add it in upcoming updates.
TSM India has officially announced the departure of their renowned PUBGM roster. The PUBG Mobile team already disclosed their plans to play under a different organization and now, TSM has officially confirmed this retirement of their BGMI roster.
TSM entered India by partnering with Entity Gaming and formed a PUBGM roster which was considered as one of the best in India. They lived up to their name by winning multiple titles and performing very dominantly on the regional and international stages.
According to our initial report, the PUBG Mobile division of TSM India was planning to quit their organization and join GodLike Esports for representing the latter in upcoming Battlegrounds Mobile India tournaments. This was unofficially confirmed by the players and now, TSM has given an official confirmation.
Our sources also disclosed that the team planned to stick together while transitioning to a different organization and soon, an official announcement regarding their new signing is expected to be released.
The old roster of TSM Entity was filled with star players and each and every member on this team was able to obliterate their opponents on their own. Their extraordinary performance made them a big name in the professional PUBG Mobile community and this move was unexpected by the organization and players as well.
As the official announcement of the departure has been made, it is possible that other announcements might be coming very soon. The old TSM roster will be seen under a different organization and TSM might re-enter in competitive Battlegrounds Mobile India by hiring a new roster to replace their old team.
Even though the world has almost moved past the time of arcades, gamers are still huge fans of arcade-style games, and being able to play them on a device or console is a great way to get that retro feeling back.
There are a number of arcade-style games that you can download for your mobile device, as well as a number of exciting vintage-style games. Here is a list of some of the best ones you can download right now.
Mortal Kombat
Obviously, a classic fighting game like Mortal Komba to be on this list. Mortal Kombat found its way to mobile back in 2015, giving fans that arcade fighting experience right in their handheld devices.
The game features fan-favorite characters like Goro, Jax, Lui Kang and of course Sub-Zero and Scorpion. The combat is very similar, you can do all the finishers and there is a story mode of course.
Injustice
Another arcade-style fighting game on our list is the Injustice series. Set in the DC comic world, you can control one of a number of DC characters from Superman to the Joker, to Deathstroke and the Flash.
Each character has unique abilities, and the game features a story for players to go through with each character adding a different twist. It really is a great combination of superheroes and villains, and a pure fighting game.
Vector 2
Vector 2 is a 2D platform game where you take control of your character as they try to escape a research facility. The gameplay involves your character running forward non-stop, with you being the one who must make him sprint, jump, slide and roll.
There are many traps and obstacles in your way, but the constant action and movement will keep you on your toes. This game reminds you of the old-school games you would find in the arcade back in the day, but with a modern twist and incredible graphics.
Angry Birds
Angry Birds is undoubtedly a legendary game, which is still enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people every day. The premise of the game is simple, you have different birds at your disposal that you have to shoot at structures to knock them down and defeat the evil pigs.
Each bird has different abilities and they are all different sizes. The structures you have to knock down change constantly and you are always having to change your strategy. The game is as popular as it is for a reason, it is so well made and so enjoyable to play.
Temple Run
Another giant of the mobile game world, Temple Run puts you in control of your character from a third-person perspective, as you run, dodge and slide your way through the levels. Much like Vector, your character is constantly running and you must control their left and right movement.
There are enemies, obstacles, dead ends, and traps all along your path, you also have access to abilities that make levels easier, and you can buy things in the store using the coins you collect.
Sonic Dash
A legendary character in the arcade world, Sonic made his way to mobile with Sonic Dash. An endless-runner game like Temple Run, controls Sonic as he collects multiple rings, ensuring he dodges all the traps and enemies in his way.
There is also a missions mode where players must complete certain objectives like collecting a specific amount of rings or finishing a level in a certain amount of time. There are also leaderboards for you to see where your times stack up against other players.
Brick Breaker
A simple and classic game, Brick Breaker requires players to control a platform at the bottom of the screen and prevent a ball from falling, bouncing the ball off the platform and hitting blocks, destroying them.
The objective is to hit and destroy all the blocks in the level, before the drop down far enough to hit the platform and end the game. Simple and styled like similar arcade games, it is the perfect way to spend a train ride or burn 10 minutes.
Subway Surfers
Subway Surfers is another endless runner game, but probably the most popular one on Earth. In 2017 it was the most downloaded game, and in 2018 it became the first game to cross 1 billion downloads.
It is similar to Sonic Dash and Temple Run, but instead, you run down a subway dodging obstacles and spray-painting all along your path. The OG endless-runner and still one of, if not the best, Subway Surfers is a must-play if you haven’t given it a go already.
There are many arcade-style games that can now be found across the Android and iOS app stores, with most of them bringing back that arcade nostalgia we all loved when we were younger, and others reinventing the arcade-style and giving us something new and fresh.
These are only a few of the best arcade-style games, and you should definitely install them and give them a go if you haven’t already.

Activision Blizzard is in the process of being sued by the State of California for consciously discriminating against women, lower pay scales, and cultivating a sexist environment. Meta, like many tech giants, has its headquarters in California´s Silicon Valley. The sunshine state is known for its startup-friendly culture which had been key in attracting business founders who usually make their first steps with a California LLC.
As reported by BloombergLaw (via InvenGlobal), the lawsuit was filed on Tuesday at the LA Superior Court. In the clauses, Activision Blizzard was accused of keeping employment as low as 1/5th of its workforce. Moreover, women in the company are forced to reside in a sexist environment as the management fails to prevent harassment.
The argument further emphasizes on “frat boy” culture in full practice at Activision Blizzard. They claim “Female employees are subjected to constant sexual harassment, including having to continually fend off unwanted sexual comments and advances by their male co-workers and supervisors and being groped at the “cube crawls” and other company events.”
An employee committed suicide on a business trip
The allegation further unveiled that females in the company are subjected to lower pay despite equal responsibilities and profiles.
The complete lawsuit of 29-pages also mentions an unfortunate accident where a female employee allegedly committed suicide while on a business trip with a male colleague, who, the report says was on a sexual adventurous ride.

A lesser-known streamer who goes by the name VAFundedDad has been removed from a $5000 Call of Duty: Warzone tournament after cheating allegations were brought against him.
Warzone is no stranger to cheaters like most FPS esports these days but with COD’s BR the cheating problem has reached the point where prominent streamers are willing to part ways over it. However, the devs have taken drastic measures to counter it but can’t deal with cheaters upgrading their hacks to keep up with the game’s anti-cheat.
Look at him turning his hacks off on the screen keep an eye on his cursor hahaha that is clearly where the hack menu is and he turns it off to monitor cam https://t.co/FrQqBuuenF
KARNAGE Clan, the organizer of the Warzone tournament has banned streamer ‘VAFundedDad’ after compelling evidence was found that he used cheats while he was live on Twitch.
His unusual behavior and mouse movements during the live stream got viewers skeptical. After taking a closer look, many concluded that he was indeed cheating despite trying his best to convince the audience.
Following his ban, fans were very critical of his behavior and dealt with him in the ugliest of ways. His chat was filled with abusive comments with no shred of sympathy. He’s been underground ever since with everyone waiting for his side of the story.
Netflix will introduce mobile games into its streaming application, the company announced yesterday. Netflix Gaming will come in with no added cost and become a part of the streaming platform’s subscription offerings.
The announcement came just after the entertainment streaming platform hired a senior executive from the gaming spectrum.
Netflix Gaming
Netflix plans to focus more on the gaming division which it plans to launch. It is also noteworthy to learn that the platform will have no advertisements or in-app purchases whatsoever, limiting the possibilities of cross-platform or multiplayer games that already exist in the ecosystem. But it will be a part of your subscription, thereby, not asking more money off you.
“There’s a rich opportunity to continue to deliver and advance the technical capability to improve the quality of game experiences we can deliver across the range of devices,”
GREG PETERS, NETFLIX’S CHIEF OPERATING AND PRODUCT OFFICER, SAID TUESDAY.
Netflix isn’t the first major company to try its luck in the gaming sector. In fact, the top tech giants of the world, all have their well-placed bets in the esports and gaming circuit. From Amazon’s Twitch to Google’s YouTube, even Facebook’s Gaming or Microsoft’s Xbox & its competitor Sony’s PlayStations, all the companies have a successful arm in the new emerging industry.
The company is all set to integrate the games into its application early next year. As a result, Netflix shares gained as much as 2.8% to $563.45 in premarket trading Thursday, according to a Bloomberg’s report.
The inaugural edition of the nation-wide Esports league, Esports Premier League (ESPL) 2021 has seen an unprecedented response among the gaming community with massive 1 million registrations and has just concluded the last user registration phase.
The registrations for the event went live on June 16, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Season 1 of the league is being hosted virtually for two and a half months. ESPL 2021, which has Infinix smartphone as the presenting sponsor, is being played under the aegis of a gamer-centric campaign #ESPLGameSeFame that encourages players to showcase their top game and get recognized in the industry.
India’s first-ever franchise-based Esports league for Free Fire, ESPL, is preparing for the Second Level of the tournament.
One Millionth Gamer
Out of the more than 1 million registered users, about the top 400 players from 88 teams will move to Level 2, where the top 8 invited teams of India join the mix. This will take the total number of teams to 96 teams in the level.
These teams will be divided into 8 groups of 12 each to compete for the top 8 spots. The top 8 teams will represent the 8 regions of ESPL.
At the end of Level 2, ESPL will have the best Free Fire teams from India. The scale of the tournament highlights ESPL 2021 as the platform for all the Free Fire players to showcase their skills. The tournament crossing 1 million registrations serves as a testament to outline the importance of the platform.
This number also points to the gradually increasing interest in Esports in India. Most of the gamers signed up to take part in the tournament in the last few days of the registration phase and this number is a testament to the far-reaching impact and popularity of the league in the gaming space.
Prize money for ESPL 2021 is a whopping INR 25 lakh. In the initial phase itself, the league has managed to create a strong buzz and catch the attention of gamers with its high-octane and nail-biting matches in the game Free Fire.

Popular variety streamer AnnieFuchsia has been banned after milking a cow in the pre-release closed beta of Amazon’s New World.
Amazon’s MMORPG New World turned a lot of heads and Annie was one of the lucky streamers to get access to the closed beta. With everything going smoothly besides negligible issues, the beta was enjoyable, to say the least. Few minutes into the game, Fuchsia decided to milk a cow which somehow the game counted as misconduct that eventually led to a permanent ban.
After she was down milking, the game suddenly hit her with a permanent ban. The streamer was surprised and so were we. Even though the message only read “Reason: [You have been banned.”, it’s hard to tell if this was a bug that is yet to be fixed by the devs.
Popular streamer Asmongold came to her rescue and provided some insight, “My chat was telling me that you got banned. I talked to someone from New World. They’re watching the stream and they said it was an accident,” he said. “They’re looking into it.”
“Oh, so it’s okay to milk cows?!” the confused Annie asked.
Given the game is still in its beta stage, it is safe to assume that her ban will eventually be revoked. Now that Asmon has confirmed the existence of such a bug, Annie’s fans can expect more “New World” gameplay in the future.
