Transfer PUBG Mobile Account to Battlegrounds Mobile India

This guide walks you through transferring your PUBG Mobile account (including your level, skins, and in-game currency) to Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). You’ll need your original PUBG Mobile login method (Facebook, Twitter, Google, or a guest account) and a device that can run BGMI. The transfer process is officially supported by Krafton for a limited window, so it’s best to do it as soon as possible.

What You’ll Need

Your PUBG Mobile account credentials (the same login method you used before).
A device with Battlegrounds Mobile India installed (download from the official app store or the Krafton website).
A stable internet connection.
Your PUBG Mobile account must have been created before the BGMI launch (August 2021) and must be in good standing (not banned).

Step-by-Step

Install BGMI – Download Battlegrounds Mobile India from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store (if you’re in India) or from the official Krafton website if you’re outside India. Make sure you have enough storage space (around 2 GB).
Open BGMI – Launch the game and wait for it to download the initial resources. You’ll see the main lobby screen after the update completes.
Tap the “Transfer” Button – On the main lobby, look for a banner or button that says “Transfer Data” or “Account Transfer.” It’s usually at the top right or in the settings menu. If you don’t see it, check the in-game events tab.
Choose Your Login Method – You’ll be asked to log in with the same method you used for PUBG Mobile. This could be Facebook, Twitter, Google, or a guest account. Select the correct one and enter your credentials.
Confirm the Transfer – After logging in, the game will show a summary of what will be transferred (level, skins, UC, etc.). Read the terms and confirm that you want to proceed. The transfer is permanent and cannot be undone.
Wait for the Transfer to Complete – The transfer may take a few minutes. You’ll see a progress bar. Do not close the app or switch networks during this time.
Verify Your Data – Once the transfer is done, you’ll be logged into BGMI with your old account. Check your profile to confirm that your level, skins, and UC are all there. If anything is missing, contact support immediately.

Common Mistakes

Using a different login method – If you originally used Facebook but try to transfer with Google, the system won’t find your account. Double-check which method you used.
Creating a new account first – Some players create a fresh BGMI account and then try to transfer. This can cause conflicts. Always start the transfer from the main lobby without creating a new account.
Transferring on the wrong device – The transfer is tied to your account, not the device. But if you’re using an emulator or a rooted device, the transfer may fail. Use a standard phone or tablet.
Missing the deadline – Krafton has set a limited window for transfers. If you wait too long, the option may disappear. Do it as soon as you install BGMI.
Ignoring the warning – The transfer is one-way and irreversible. If you already have a BGMI account with progress, it will be overwritten. Make sure you’re okay with that.

Tips

Do it on Wi-Fi – The transfer can consume a lot of data and a poor connection might interrupt it. Use a stable Wi-Fi network.
Keep your old device handy – If you need to verify your login method, you can check the PUBG Mobile app (if still installed) to see which social account is linked.
Log out of PUBG Mobile first – If you still have the old game installed, log out of it before starting the transfer to avoid any conflicts.
Take a screenshot – Before transferring, screenshot your profile page in PUBG Mobile showing your level, skins, and UC. This is useful proof if something goes wrong.
Check the official FAQ – Krafton’s official BGMI website has a detailed FAQ about the transfer. If you’re unsure about anything, read it first.

Troubleshooting

Transfer button not showing – If you don’t see the transfer option, make sure your BGMI is updated to the latest version. Also, check if the transfer window is still open. Sometimes the button appears only after you’ve completed the initial tutorial or reached level 1.

Login fails – If you can’t log in with your original method, try resetting your password on that social platform. If you used a guest account, you may need to contact support with your old account ID and proof of ownership.

Transfer stuck at 0% – This usually means a network issue. Close the app, restart your device, and try again. If it persists, try using a different network (e.g., mobile data instead of Wi-Fi).

Data missing after transfer – Some items like limited-time skins or event rewards may not transfer. Check the official list of what’s included. If you’re missing permanent items, contact BGMI support with your screenshots and account details.

Error message “Account already transferred” – This means your account was already linked to a BGMI account. You can’t transfer twice. Log into that BGMI account to see your data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my account after the deadline?

No, the transfer window is limited. Once it closes, there’s no official way to transfer. Always check the official BGMI website for the latest announcements.

Will my UC (Unknown Cash) transfer?

Yes, your UC balance will transfer, but only if it was purchased before the transfer window started. Any UC earned through events or free rewards may also transfer, but it’s best to check the official FAQ.

Can I transfer from a guest account?

Yes, but you need to have your guest account linked to a social account or have the account ID and password. If you never linked it, you may lose access.

What if I have a banned PUBG Mobile account?

Banned accounts are not eligible for transfer. You’ll need to create a new account in BGMI.

Can I transfer my account to a different platform (e.g., from iOS to Android)?

Yes, the transfer is cross-platform as long as you use the same login method. Your progress and purchases will carry over.

What happens to my old PUBG Mobile account after transfer?

Your PUBG Mobile account will become inactive and can no longer be used. All your data will be moved to BGMI.
