BGMI 4.2 Update Released: What Players Need to Know

Krafton India has rolled out the BGMI 4.2 update for Battlegrounds Mobile India, bringing a fresh game mode, new collaborations, and several gameplay changes for players on Android and iOS.

The update is being released in phases and will reach all users over the next few hours, according to official announcements from the developer.

The key addition in version 4.2 is the Primewood Genesis mode, a new themed experience introduced as part of the latest BGMI update.

This mode features a fantasy-inspired map with forest landscapes, interactive zones, and special abilities that influence combat.

Players can unlock unique areas, experiment with environment-based powers, and experience gameplay variations that differ from the standard battle royale gameplay format.
