BGMI 1.8 update APK download link for Android

Battlegrounds Mobile India version 1.8 or "January Update" has finally arrived. The latest gameplay update is feature-rich, bringing an abundance of new content for players to enjoy, ranging from a Spider-Man crossover event to the new AfterMath map.

However, the new content is not all players are raving over. BMGI 1.8 also focuses on various improvements, quality of life changes, balancing, graphic enhancements, and more. We particularly like the overhaul of the Merit System, which rewards players who play respectfully and introduces more severe punishments for malicious actions.

Also, players suspected of cheating will be placed under "safety observation" and confined to playing only Solo Classic Mode TPP and won't be rewarded for their matches. Moreover, the update also improves the user interfaces across the board, making the game easier to navigate.

If you, for some reason, can not install the update, don't worry because we are here to help you. In this guide, you'll find the BGMI 1.8 update APK download links and instructions on installing it.
