The new BGMI 4.2 update has some interesting additions, themes and some new gear that will make BGMI fan boys excited. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new theme brings iconic Royal Enfield bikes to the BGMI garage along with the characters from the popular TV series Peaky Blinders. That\u2019s not all, the Primewood Genesis theme also offers fantasy and a magical twist to the gameplay of BGMI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>BGMI 4.2 Update: How To Download<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Open Play Store <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Go to Manage apps and devices<\/li>\n<li>Check for updates available<\/li>\n<li>Search for BGMI game in your phone<\/li>\n<li>Tap on update button to get the BGMI 4.2 version downloaded on your device<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The BGMI 4.2 update was supposed to go live today but multiple reports on social media suggest the rollout has hit a snag. But at the time of writing the BGMI 4.2 update is available on the Play Store and App Store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>BGMI 4.2 Update: Royal Enfield Bikes, Magical Theme And More<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new Primewood Genesis theme brings a new element of Tree of life and Corrupting Flower, which can quickly kill the player by releasing poison. The theme also brings Golden Fruit that acts as a bulletproof jacket and protects them from dying and even then brings them back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You have other magical powers like barrier, teleport, heal and flora wings available with the BGMI 4.2 update. The special Royal Enfield collaboration means you can ride popular bikes like the Continental 650 or the Bullet 350 in BGMI and these will be available in-game from January 19 for gamers. You will also get access to Peaky Blinders characters and voice pack of Thomas Shelby on the same release date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The general gameplay is also being improved by Krafton and with the BGMI 4.2 update you are able to deploy the parachutes a few meters before dropping to the down. The controls have been improved to give you more responsive actions and smoother gameplay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">BGMI 4.2 is another big update that has been awaited for a while and all these features and in-game gear means Android and iOS users will be eager to try them out. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1898097920 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1898097920 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>January 16, 2026, 07:40 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1898097920 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> BGMI 4.2 Update Has Rolled Out: How To Download, New Game Mode And More<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
