BGMI 4.3 Update Release Date

Krafton has yet to announce the official BGMI 4.3 update release date, but based on the recent release pattern, the new BGMI update is expected to be released between 13 and 16 March 2026.

Notably, Krafton follows a two-month gap to release its major updates. The new BGMI update will introduce a new theme mode with new passive skills.

Here are the new Passive Skills in the BGMI 4.3 update

Specialize in one of five types of passive skills: Healing, Recon, Combat, Detection, and Vehicles.

Skills can be selected outside of matches and on Spawn Island before a match begins.

Skills are divided into C/B/A/S-rank. You start at C-rank, and can upgrade and enhance effects by meeting certain conditions. When a skill reaches S-rank, you automatically gain a Portable Shield skill.

The player with the highest global Energy Points will be displayed on billboards throughout the map.

Temporal Vault

As your class rank increases, you can unlock corresponding quality Temporal Vaults in matches. Each Temporal Vault is hidden on the battleground in the form of a classic building. Interact with it after reaching the corresponding rank, and the building will dissolve, revealing the Temporal Vault.

B-Rank Vault: Appears as a small building with dynamic effects. Interact with it to dissolve and reveal an 8th Anniversary limited vault containing exclusive rewards.

A-Rank Vault: Randomly refreshes a commemorative vault from any version between 2021 and 2025. It shows iconic updates and core interactive objects from that version. Touch the interactive object to trigger an exclusive animation, change the interior to the style of the corresponding theme, and present the current themed crate.

S-Rank Vault: The vault contains the 2026 map pack. Open it to trigger a sandbox that predicts the next Blue Zone's location. Interact with it again to turn the area into a classic rainy day. The exhibits in the vault can also be interacted with to trigger different effects.
