After serving a ban that lasted as long as 10 months, Krafton finally announced that it has received permission to bring back the popular battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). However, there is no official date for its return. And if you cannot wait to play battle royale-themed games, then there are some alternatives available for you. Between Garena Free Fire Max, New State Mobile, Modern Ops, COD Mobile, and Farlight 84, you do not need to let go of your love for first-person shooters. Let us take a closer look at these top 5 BGMI alternatives below.
Garena Free Fire Max
Earlier this year, the government banned the Garena Free Fire app, however, Free Fire Max was allowed to stay. This is a higher graphics version of the game with the exact gameplay and mechanics. It will require a smartphone with a powerful processor to run it, but if your device has that, you are in for a fun time. The game has one main battle royale mode with multiple ranked and unranked maps, mini-game modes, and a tonne of characters to unlock and play with.
New State Mobile
Even as PUBG Mobile has faced a ban, New State Mobile has come out as a worthy replacement. The game has been developed by Krafton and is set in the same universe as the original PUBG. The game has an emphasized focus on graphics, just like Free Fire Max, and is intended for higher-end devices due to the performance requirements. The game offers a more immersive experience due to its realistic artwork but it also presents more to the gameplay with futuristic weapons, gadgets, and settings.
