The highly anticipated BGMI 4.3 update is set to release soon, and Krafton India has officially confirmed that the 4.3 update is bringing drag-race-style checkpoints straight into classic matches. The new update is expected to be released in March 2026 with a new theme mode, vehicles, events, and new features.
Krafton India to introduce new Racing Mode in BGMI 4.3 update
Players will soon be able to trigger timed vehicle runs across flagged race zones, chasing loot rewards while exposing themselves to high-risk open routes. The mechanic turns vehicles into more than just transport, pushing squads toward faster decision-making and mid-match objectives that keep the battlefield active rather than passive.
Built around the update’s wider mobility focus, racing events introduce quick bursts of speed-driven gameplay that blend seamlessly with the battle royale flow. Timed checkpoints, quick driving, and vehicle-centric objectives encourage aggressive movement while adding a fresh layer of unpredictability to standard matches.
Here’s what players are looking forward to:
-
Drag Race Checkpoints: Enter flagged zones and trigger timed vehicle runs for rewards
-
Loot-Driven Speed Runs: Finish races within the limit to secure extra loot mid-match
-
High-Risk Driving: Open race routes make you visible but reward aggressive movement.
-
Vehicle-Focused Gameplay: Cars become tactical tools instead of just transport
Casual players and competitive squads alike are expected to experiment with the new racing zones, using them as strategic loot routes or high-risk shortcuts across the map. Instead of slowing the pace, the mechanic amplifies momentum, turning driving into an actual legit race.
The BGIS 4.3 update is going to be one of the executing updates, so the game is releasing in March 2026. If we talk about the exact date, rumors have suggested the 4.3 update is expected to launch on 16 March 2026. However, gamers need to wait for the official announcement from Krafton India regarding the update date, features, and events.
