The wait is almost over for BGMI players. Krafton is now ready to roll out the new 3.9 update, which brings in Transformers content, new mechanics, and a few mode changes. Players from different regions will start getting the patch in a phased way, as it helps keep servers from going unstable. Whether you're in India or some other region, here's what we know so far about the release date and the timings for different zones.
Expected Release Date
As per the in-game format and previous releases, the BGMI 3.9 update is expected to kick off between July 12, 2025 to July 15,2025. While Krafton hasn’t given a fixed time officially, most regional updates usually begin mid-day in India. So, players can likely expect the update to start showing up between 12 pm to 3 pm IST. The rollout happens in stages, which means not everyone will get it at once. Sometimes devices or platforms like iOS and Android get it at slightly different times. But overall, the full release should be complete within a few hours on the same day.
What’s New in Version 3.9
- Transformers Crossover: Players can call in characters like Optimus Prime or Megatron by using Signal Beacons. There’s also new vehicles like a Mega Truck and an Electromagnetic Tank that can be fixed during fights.
-
Neon Outpost: A new futuristic area is added to Erangel. It has subzones like a Boxing Ring, Black Market, and an Energy Hub. These spots come with loot systems, NPCs, and respawn areas called Astro Dens.
-
Cosmic Hoverboard: A fast ride tool for moving around, not meant for fights. Can be upgraded with hoverboard cores for things like dash, double jump, and easier handling.
-
ASM Abakan AR: A 5.56 mm rifle that lets players switch between full-auto, two-shot burst, or single fire mode.
-
Drift Update: Motorcycles and bicycles can now drift. This changes how players move and fight using vehicles.
How to Get the Update
-
After maintenance ends, players should go to the Google Play Store or App Store and update to version 3.9.
-
You’ll need about 1.1 GB of space and a steady Wi-Fi connection.
-
Beta testers can still try features early with the beta APK or on emulators like BlueStacks, but the beta version is separate from the live one.
The BGMI 3.9 update is coming soon, so players just need to wait a bit more. Make sure the game is updated and enough storage is free. Once it rolls out, new content will start showing up and gameplay will change a bit in different modes.
