It even announced that the game will use green colour instead of red to symbolise blood. It has also announced plans to build an esports ecosystem in the country. If you are a PUBG Mobile player then one of the things that matters to you is the data. Krafton will allow data transfer, allowing PUBG Mobile players to port their data to Battlegrounds Mobile India. Here is what you need to know.

How to transfer data from PUBG Mobile acount to BGMI

Officially, the data transfer can only be implemented to PUBG Mobile accounts linked to Facebook or Twitter. However, there is a workaround to migrate a PUBG Mobile account linked with email or Google to BGMI. Follow the steps below to transfer data from your PUBG Mobile account.

• Open Battlegrounds Mobile India game on your smartphone.
• Agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service that are shown when you first log into the game.
• A new character will be created as soon as you accept the terms.
• Now, a pop-up will appear asking if you want to proceed with the data transfer.
• Select ‘Agree’.
• After selecting ‘Agree’, another window will appear and you can select from which SNS account in the prior app you want to use to transfer data to the new account in the new app.
• Once again, there will be a window asking if you want to transfer the data from the prior app SNS account.
• You should now select ‘Agree’.

Once you follow the above mentioned steps, you will see a message indicating that the data from the prior app SNS account has been successfully transferred to the new account in the new app will pop up if the data transfer is successful. In case you have selected the wrong SNS account by mistake, you can add or modify the linked account later from the settings within the game.

BGMI will let you transfer your PUBG Mobile account till December 31st, 2021

Krafton has confirmed that Battlegrounds Mobile India data transfer will apply to all those players who have an account from PUBG Mobile Nordic Map: Livik, also referred to as prior app. The data transfers, according to Krafton, will be available until December 31st, 2021.

During this data transfer process, some of the data from the prior app account will be transferred to the new app. It is important to note that normal gameplay will be possible even if the data transfer is not immediately implemented.

“If a player proceeds with the data transfer after playing the game with their new account in the new app, the data from the prior app will replace any data existing on the new app such that all of the player’s progress including purchased items and play data from the new app will be deleted,” the company explained.
