Krafton unveils BGMI 4.7 update with annual popularity competition and new rewards
Krafton India has announced a new set of features and reward-driven experiences for BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI) with the upcoming 4.7 update, scheduled to roll out on November 18, 2026. The update will introduce the Popularity Battle Annual Gala, a redesigned Mode Selection screen, and a new seasonal rewards event called Chicko’s Loot. The company said the Popularity Battle Annual Gala will serve as an expanded version of BGMI’s existing player recognition format, offering players more opportunities to compete for in-game honours and rewards. Registrations for the event will open on November 18, while the main competition is scheduled to run from November 25 to December 27. A Team Popularity Battle will follow in December.
Popularity Battle gets bigger stage
According to Krafton India, the Annual Gala will feature a more competitive structure with nine ranking tiers. The event will culminate in an exclusive top tier limited to 3,000 players.Each round of the competition will contribute towards a final Peak Battle, which will determine the rewards earned by participants. Players who secure top rankings will receive exclusive in-game recognition reflecting their status within the BGMI community. KRAFTON is also introducing a new Starlight Grand Prize, which will be open to all registered participants. The company said additional methods for earning points during the competition will be announced when the event goes live.
Revamped mode selection interface
The 4.7 update will also bring a redesigned Mode Selection screen aimed at simplifying navigation across game modes. The new interface will be divided into two sections, “Mine” and “Discover.” While the Mine section will provide quick access to a player’s preferred game modes, Discover will allow users to explore new gameplay experiences. The updated interface will be released in phases following the update rollout.
