The upcoming Battlegrounds Mobile India 1.6 update has made the Indian player base super excited and hyped. People expect it to come out alongside the PUBG Mobile Resistance update, but much to their disappointment, it has not come to pass. However, Krafton definitely won't let the BGMI fanbase hanging for long. In this article, we are going to showcase the upcoming BGMI 1.6 new features, download size and details about the next Royale Pass Season.
