Krafton India and Royal Enfield just dropped the most “Indian” collab in gaming history. Starting today, Thursday, January 15, 2026, the BGMI 4.2 update is officially rolling out, and it’s bringing the legendary “Thump” to the battlegrounds. Or nothing. Let’s be real, you haven’t lived until you’ve escaped a blue zone on a Bullet 350. Those too.
The thing is, the update is live now, but you’ll have to wait until January 19 to actually throw a leg over the bikes in-game. And here’s the kicker—it’s not just a digital skin; they’ve actually built a real-world, “battle-ready” Continental GT 650 with armored plating and balloon tires just to celebrate.

The “BGMI x Royal Enfield” Field Notes: Jan 15, 2026
It’s an ongoing situation where Erangel is starting to look a lot more like the Leh-Manali highway.
-
The Rideable Icons: You get two distinct vibes. The Bullet 350 for that classic, steady strength, and the Continental GT 650 for when you need to café-race your way out of a bridge camp.
-
The “Peaky Blinders” Twist: The thing is, this update is huge. Along with the bikes, Krafton is adding a Peaky Blinders crossover. Imagine riding a Bullet while rocking a Thomas Shelby suit and voice pack. It’s a bit messy, but undeniably cool.
-
The “Primewood” Chaos: The 4.2 update also adds a fantasy mode called “Primewood Genesis.” The thing is, there’s a Tree of Life that heals you and a Corrupting Flower that kills you instantly. And here’s the kicker—you can now fly using “Florawings.”
-
Free Loot (If you have patience): Krafton added a “stay-logged-in” mechanic. Just stay in the lobby for 60 minutes a day to get a Royal Enfield Event Crate. You can collect up to 34 crates. The thing is, it’s a pure “reward for presence” play.

And Here’s the Kicker…
The real-life custom Continental GT 650 they built is a beast. The thing is, it’s got picatinny rails (for mounting scopes/lights) and parachute tie-down points. It looks like something straight out of a Mad Max movie.
It’s an ongoing situation where the game is also leaning hard into Indian culture with Republic Day and Holi exchange events coming up next. The thing is, if you’re a rank pusher, the new “Promotion Match” mechanic means you can’t just “hide” your way to Ace anymore—you actually have to perform.
