The popular battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India is celebrating its launch with a virtual party on July 8 and July 9. 18 teams will be fighting each other over the course of two days, with the total prize pool fixed at ₹6 lakh.

The Battlegrounds Mobile India launch party will include several PUBG Mobile streamers like Dynamo, Mortal, GodNixon and K18, in addition to Ghatak, Shreeman Legend among others.

How to watch Battlegrounds Mobile India launch party

Even if you’re not a part of the 18 teams set to battle each other, you can still attend the launch party virtually. All the matches will be streamed live on Battlegrounds Mobile India’s YouTube and Facebook channels.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is an India-specific version of PUBG Mobile, which was banned in India along with dozens of other Chinese apps and games. This comes after Krafton, the South Korean video game developer, rolled out early access back in June, allowing enthusiasts to test the game.

The game was launched on July 2. Early access users were offered rewards, too, which are:

• Sign-up bonus – 1 supply crate.
• 1 million downloads – 2 supply crate coupons.
• 5 million downloads – 1 classic crate coupon.
• 10 million downloads – Constable set.

Eventually, Krafton received over 40 million registrations. As such, in addition to the above, users will receive the Recon skin, Recon outfit, Celebration Expert title and free 300 AG in-game currency.

PUBG Mobile data transfer dates extended

Krafton has extended the dates for transferring data from PUBG Mobile to Battlegrounds Mobile India to July 9, from the July 6 deadline set initially.

Users who have still not transferred their data from PUBG Mobile to Battlegrounds Mobile India can do so by following these steps:

• Login to Battlegrounds Mobile India using your Facebook, Twitter or Google account.
• Customise your in-game character.
• Now, you will be asked if you reside in India. Tap yes.
• The Account Data Transfer message will now popup on your screen. If you want to transfer your PUBG Mobile data to BGMI, tap yes.
• Now login using the same account which you used for PUBG Mobile.
• Once done, tap on yes to initiate the data transfer to BGMI.
