The curtain raiser for Battlegrounds Mobile India iOS is set to happen soon. The Battlegrounds Mobile India iOS release date, as per reports is expected to be August 20. These reports claim that Krafton, by mistake uploaded their iOS launch date on the official website. However it was soon deleted.

Even esports influencer Maxtern tweeted about the same, cryptically saying the launch date could be 18 or 19 August.

Wooyol Lim, Head of Battlegrounds Mobile Division said that the developers are doing their best to bring BGMI to the iOS users in India as soon as possible. “We will soon make announcements on our social media handles to keep our fans updated,” Lim told IANS.

Krafton posted, “We thought you missed it earlier. So, just wanted to let you know.”

Battlegrounds Mobile India surpassed the 30 million downloads in the first week of launch. The game currently has over 46 million downloads on the Google Play store.

In a new Instagram post, Krafton hinted that a lot of updates are coming for players, regardless of their Operating System (OS). “PLEASE NOTE
We are preparing for all Indian players to receive rewards regardless of their OS ?”

Hints and leaks by Battlegrounds Mobile India

In a now-deleted post, Battlegrounds Mobile India updated its patch notes, and said KNOWN ISSUES “Game settings shut down when accessing the season C1S1 menu, some iPad devices.” Just this information is enough to keep the iOS device owners optimistic that the game might launch soon.

Kronten has played a huge part in speculations that were buzzing around during the pre-release state of BGMI. On his Livestream, he shared that he only had information regarding the android version’s official release just a few hours ahead of the launch. Now, in a community update on his official YouTube channel, he said, “It’ll take a while before the game comes on iOS devices. We have to wait for a few more days.”

Krafton’s website support section says that an iOS version of BGMI will indeed be released soon. Popular Esports personalities like Ghatak had earlier said that the game will come on the same as the Android users. That did not happen. Now, while the game is out there for every android user to download, iOS players still haven’t got a clue about a release date.
