The BGMI 3.6 update is the next in line after the recently released Icemire Frontier in November 2024. Leaks about the upcoming update have been circulating online, generating excitement among fans. Following the ocean and winter themes of previous updates, players will now experience a sandstorm theme in the 3.5 update. Check out the BGMI 3.5 update release date, theme, and features.

BGMI 3.6 update release date expected in January 2025

Battlegrounds Mobile India typically aligns its update timeline with PUBG Mobile to release major updates. Since the PUBG Mobile 3.6 update is set to launch in January, fans can expect the BGMI 3.6 update release date in mid-January or about a week after the PUBG Mobile release.

BGMI New Update theme

The BGMI 3.6 update, themed "Golden Moon," will bring a sand-themed environment. BGMI often includes Ramadan-themed modes each season, such as the previously introduced Aladdin Mode. This time, the update will feature the "Golden Moon" theme and is expected to be similar to the Pharaoh's Ancient Secret mode released two years ago. According to data miners, the same mode may be reintroduced in the upcoming patch.

With every new update, BGMI introduces various items and features based on the theme of that update. With the Golden Moon theme of the 3.6 update, players might also see outfits, items, vehicle skins, crates, and weapon skins designed around this theme.

There is a high chance of the Pharaoh’s set making a comeback in the BGMI 3.6 update. In the current 3.5 winter-themed update, many glacier skins and outfits returned, giving players another chance to obtain them. Similarly, players who missed the Pharaoh’s set last time might have the opportunity to add this set to their collection in the upcoming update.

However, it has not yet been confirmed by the developers. An official announcement is expected in the first week of January 2025, revealing details like the release date, theme, features, and more.
