Battlegrounds Mobile India, the latest BR title has finally hit the Google Play Store. While the game was initially made available to download on Android phones in early access, it has now been officially released for the general public. While this is a good news for players who were eagerly waiting to try the PUBG Mobile new avatar, Krafton’s latest announcement is likely to upset the gaming community.
Battlegrounds Mobile Data transfer from PUBG Mobile temporarily shutting down from next week
Krafton has shared a notice on the official Battlegrounds Mobile India website that says that the data transfer service from PUBG Mobile to BGMI will temporarily shut down from July 6 until further notice. The developer didn’t clearly mention the reason except for citing some maintenance that is needed and hence players will not be able to transfer data from PUBG Mobile to Battlegrounds Mobile India from next week. Krafton says that it is “providing data transfer service in order to safely secure the data of fans from India.”
However, players who won’t be able to/get a chance to transfer the data before the mentioned date will get the option again at a later date. The South Korean developer notes that those who have tried the Livik map on PUBG Mobile will be able to transfer account data to BGMI, further players transferring their data will get pre-registration rewards as well. In case you have downloaded the new BR game and are unable to find a workaround for transferring your PUBG Mobile data to Battlegrounds Mobile India, here’s a simple guide.
