It’s been quite some time since India banned PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds), creating some space for alternatives and less-than-successful spin-offs. However, PUBG is available in India once again, now called – Battlegrounds Mobile India, reachable for those interested in beta-testing. And yes, we know that you've been all wondering how to download Battlegrounds Mobile India from the Play Store.
Keep on reading this guide, and show you two methods to get early access to Battlegrounds Mobile India, available since June 17, 2021. However, before we give you the instructions, make sure to check the following highlights, found just below.
We highly recommend relying on the Play Store to access Battlegrounds Mobile India. This isn't only the easiest way to get started but also a way to bypass any technical issues. So, here's how to download the newly released game:
1. First, become a Battlegrounds Mobile tester by following this link.
2. Once you join the beta testing program, download the game via the Play Store.
3. Install the beta, launch the game – and create a new account.
4. Also, decide whether to transfer your old data (during the initial sign-up or later by going to Settings > Account Transfer). That’s it!
If (for any reason) you can’t join Battlegrounds’ beta program, you can try to access the game another way. So, let’s show you how to download Battlegrounds Mobile India and install the game using APK and OBB files.
1. First, download the required APK and OBB file using the links provided above.
2. Make sure that your Android device supports installations from "unknown sources."
3. Open the newly downloaded APK file and install the game. Do not open it yet!
4. Make sure the OBB file is named "main.15255.com.pubg.imobile.obb."
5. Paste the OBB file to this directory: Android/OBB/com.pubg.imobile. If you don’t see that folder, feel free to create it – by naming it "com.pubg.imobile."
6. Finally, launch Battlegrounds Mobile India.
7. Create a new account, and decide whether to transfer your old data. That’s it!
Those would be the two ways to download Battlegrounds Mobile India – via the Play Store or its APK/OBB files. In case of any questions, lets us know via the comments section below. And lastly, thanks for reading!
