Krafton's 3.2 Update for BGMI: The Missing 120 FPS Feature

Krafton recently released the 3.2 Update for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). While the update was highly anticipated, there was one feature that many users were eagerly awaiting: the 120 FPS mode. This feature was introduced in PUBG Mobile with Update 3.2, but when the new version arrived for BGMI, the 120 FPS option was notably absent, even on high-end devices.

The Importance of High Frame Rates in Esports

From an esports perspective, frame rates play a crucial role. Many underdog competitive players often use base models of iPhones, which do not even support 90 FPS. Research indicates that a higher frame rate provides a significant advantage, offering smoother gameplay and more time to react to in-game actions. The competitive community is keen to see if the eventual introduction of 120 FPS in BGMI will impact the competitive landscape.

Current Support and Hardware Demands

At present, BGMI supports up to 90 FPS, but only on a limited number of devices. This limitation is due to the significant hardware demands of running games at higher frame rates. As such, only a few phones can support this feature. The absence of the 120 FPS mode in BGMI's latest update was not entirely unexpected. Given that India is a developing region, only a small percentage of users possess devices capable of running games even at 90 FPS, let alone 120 FPS. This reality suggests that Krafton may not have prioritized the feature in this update.

Community Reaction

Typically, content updates in PUBG Mobile are mirrored in BGMI. This update, however, was an exception. Many BGMI users have expressed their disappointment with the 3.2 Update on social media. This discontent is not solely due to the absence of the 120 FPS feature but also due to the overall content of the update, which many found lacking.

Future Prospects

Despite the current backlash, it is likely that Krafton will introduce the 120 FPS feature in future updates. The community remains hopeful that upcoming updates will bring more enhancements and align BGMI more closely with its global counterpart, PUBG Mobile.

Conclusion

The release of the 3.2 Update for BGMI has been met with mixed reactions. While the absence of the 120 FPS feature is a notable omission, the overall content of the update has also contributed to the disappointment among players. As the competitive scene and player base grow, there is a strong expectation that Krafton will address these issues in future updates, potentially bringing the much-desired 120 FPS feature to BGMI.

Stay tuned for more updates from Krafton and keep an eye on the official BGMI channels for the latest news and announcements.
