BGMI next update is currently the top trending topic among Battlegrounds Mobile India players. With the 4.2 Primewood Genesis mode in full swing, the community is eager to learn about the upcoming version 4.3, gameplay shifts, and the next big event dates. From new weapon mechanics to futuristic UI changes, the next update is set to drastically impact both casual play and the upcoming BGIS 2026 competitive season.
When is BGMI Next Update 4.3 Coming?
The BGMI next update (version 4.3) is expected to be released in the second week of March 2026, likely between March 8 and March 15. Since Krafton follows a strict two-month major update cycle, and version 4.2 was launched in mid-January, this window is the most probable for the 4.3 rollout.
Android users can expect the update to hit the Google Play Store early in the morning (6:30 AM IST), while iOS users will receive it by the afternoon on the Apple App Store.
