Exclusive rewards up for grabs on pre-registration for Battlegrounds Mobile India

Published

on

Battlegrounds Mobile India pre-registration is now live. You can simply go to the Google Play Store on your Android phone, search for the Indian version of the PUBG Mobile game using the new name, and tap on “Pre-register”. As promised, Krafton will immediately add pre-registration rewards to your account that you will be able to use as and when Battlegrounds Mobile India becomes available for download.

Krafton, the company that owns the PUBG IP, has not said anything about the release date yet. However, seeing the pace at which the company is moving ahead towards making Battlegrounds Mobile return to India, we might soon see an announcement. Several YouTubers in India have suggested the launch could happen as early as June, and while they have not shared a date, fans have predicted Battlegrounds Mobile may arrive on June 10, coinciding with the solar eclipse.

How to pre-register for Battlegrounds Mobile India?

It is very simple. Just open Google Play Store on your Android phone. Search for “Battlegrounds Mobile India” or “Krafton”. Make sure you find the original listing because the Play Store is currently full of fake ones. The correct one will show the game’s name and Krafton as the developer below it. See the screenshot below for reference. Now, just tap the “Pre-register” button, and you are done. Since I have already pre-registered, you can see the “Unregister” button.

Pre-registration rewards for Battlegrounds Mobile India

Krafton will add four rewards to your account as soon as you pre-register. These rewards are the Recon Mask, the Recon Outfit, Celebration Expert Title, and 300 AG. You will see these rewards in your Battlegrounds Mobile India account as and when the game is released.

In addition to these four, your inventory, which includes your Royale Passes, Unknown Cash (UC), skins, and outfits, from PUBG Mobile global version is likely to be available on Battlegrounds Mobile India, according to one of the leading gaming content creators in India.

System requirements for downloading Battlegrounds Mobile India

According to Krafton, you need to have a phone with at least 2GB of RAM and Android 5.1.1 or above. This means that most of the new phones will be supported but you will have to check for the RAM on your phone. Android Go smartphones are unlikely to support the game because of the 1GB of RAM in them. And finally, obviously, you need to have a stable internet connection to download and play Battlegrounds Mobile on your phone.

Can you play matches with anyone on Battlegrounds Mobile?

No. Since the servers for Battlegrounds Mobile are hosted in India, you will only be able to play with people playing the game in India. Cross-server matches are not allowed. “The app #BATTLEGROUNDSMOBILEINDIA is exclusively for players in India only, serviced by Krafton,” the app description reads.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
