BGMI: how to update Early Access game to final version
If you’re already on the early access version of BGMI, all you need to do is update your app to the official launch version from the Play Store. The update size file weighs approximately 137MB.
Why is the official BGMI Play Store listing still showing Beta version?
Do note, if you signed up to be a beta tester and update the app, you’ll still have access to the beta version, which means you will receive new features before the general public. As always, beta versions of the game are bound to include some bugs, so if you want to leave the beta version, just scroll down on the Play Store app listing until you see “You’re a beta tester”. Tap on “Leave” to exit the beta program.
What to do if you can’t update BGMI to final version?
If you still don’t see the final version, clear the cache of the Play Store and then check. If this doesn’t work, restart your phone and try again.
BGMI: minimum system requirements
As per Krafton, the system requirements to download BGMI are an Android phone running Android 5.1.1 and above and at least 2GB of RAM. The game is yet to be released on iOS.
BGMI: list of free rewards
At the time when early access was announced, BGMI had announced various rewards including those at sign up, and for when the game reaches 1 million, 5 million and 10 million downloads, respectively. The deadline for claiming all these gifts has been extended to August 19th, so even users who did not sign up for the early access version will be able to claim these.
The game crossed the 10 million downloads mark this morning, which means all four rewards are available to claim.
Here’s the full list of rewards:
