BGMI Will No Longer Work on Select Android and iOS Phones

Game on! Parachute onto the battle arena and duke it out alive!

Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), which has been a sensation among mobile gamers, is on the verge of introducing its 3.1 update. With this upcoming release, however, comes a transformation that could leave some players at a standstill.

BGMI Will No Longer Run on Select Android and iOS Devices

"...Effective with the 3.1 update, Battlegrounds Mobile India will no longer support Android 4.4/iOS 10 or below versions as we are upgrading Helpshift for better customer support experience...”

— published by the Battlegrounds Mobile India Team

Krafton, the publisher behind BGMI, has declared that after the 3.1 update roll-out, the game will end support on these smartphones:

Android: 4.4 and below
iOS: 10 and below

The rationale behind this bold move is the upgrade of Helpshift, aiming to amplify the customer support experience.

What does this entail for the ardent player base? As soon as BGMI 3.1 hits the virtual shelves, if your device operates on any of these older operating systems, you'll be greeted with silence instead of gunfire. To dodge this bullet, updating to higher OS versions is the key.

Though this news might initially seem like a drawback, it's essential to recognize that most active players possess devices that inherently support the advanced Helpshift. It's also beneficial to note that a game with BGMI's graphical intensity and technical demands typically requires modern hardware for an optimal gaming experience.

This move is strategic for Krafton, as it not only aims to provide enriched customer service but also subtly nudges its user base towards technology that can offer a more seamless and enhanced gaming journey. The fractions of the player community who might find themselves on the receiving end of this decision are relatively small, considering the pace at which technology is adopted and outdated devices are forsaken.

In conclusion, the arrival of BGMI's 3.1 update heralds a new dawn for players ready to embrace the change, ensuring they are part of a future-proof gaming environment that is as robust in support as it is rich in experience. The battle continues, but only for those who evolve with the battleground.
