Krafton India appears to be revisiting one of the longest-running requests from Indian mobile gamers: a lighter version of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). Recent in-game surveys sent to BGMI players suggest the publisher is actively reassessing the idea of a BGMI Lite-style experience, years after PUBG Mobile Lite was discontinued in the country.
There has been no formal announcement, but the specificity of the questions points to internal evaluation rather than just casual feedback. For players who never made the jump to full BGMI owing to there being no Lite version, this is the clearest signal yet that Krafton is looking again at the audience left behind.
Filling the PUBG Mobile Lite void
PUBG Mobile Lite built a sizeable player base in India by catering to lower-end Android devices and unstable network conditions. When it went offline, that segment effectively lost access to the PUBG ecosystem. BGMI’s return did not solve that problem, as the standard version demands significantly more storage, RAM, and consistent performance.
The new surveys reportedly ask about device limitations, performance expectations, and must-have features for a lighter build. That framing strongly suggests Krafton is exploring a successor to PUBG Mobile Lite under the BGMI umbrella.
For many players, this would not be an optional variant but a practical entry point back into the game.
Ads surface as a parallel experiment
Separately, the same surveys also touch on in-game advertisements within standard BGMI, asking players about acceptable placements and reward-based ad interactions. Ads could, of course, also make their way to the Lite version, if it does arrive in India.

For now, both developments remain unofficial and survey driven. But with Krafton openly probing Lite-specific expectations for the first time in years, the company may be preparing to address a gap that has defined BGMI’s accessibility since its launch.
