BGMI brings Royal Enfield motorcycles into gameplay through new collaboration

Krafton India has partnered with Royal Enfield to add iconic motorcycle models to Battlegrounds Mobile India, blending real-world automotive culture with mobile gaming as part of a wider push for locally relevant in-game experiences.

Krafton India has announced a new collaboration with Royal Enfield that will introduce two of the motorcycle maker’s most recognisable models into Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). As part of the partnership, players will be able to ride the Bullet 350 and Continental GT 650 as in-game vehicles, marking one of the more prominent brand integrations seen in India’s mobile gaming space.

The collaboration will roll out alongside the BGMI 4.2 update, reinforcing Krafton India’s strategy of expanding the game’s universe through culturally familiar brands. By bringing real-world motorcycles into virtual battlegrounds, the company aims to deepen player immersion while appealing to India’s strong automotive and biking community.

Real-world bikes meet the battleground

According to Krafton India, both Royal Enfield motorcycles have been recreated in-game with close attention to their visual identity, while still fitting naturally into BGMI’s combat-driven environment. The vehicles are designed to feel authentic without disrupting gameplay balance, offering players a new way to traverse maps while showcasing well-known Indian machines.

Beyond rideable motorcycles, the collaboration also introduces Royal Enfield-themed in-game rewards. These include exclusive cosmetic items and branded elements that players can unlock through special events tied to the update. Krafton has positioned the partnership as more than a cosmetic crossover, suggesting a longer-term engagement strategy rather than a short-lived promotional tie-in.

Timeline, rewards and broader strategy

The BGMI 4.2 update is scheduled to go live in mid-January 2026, with the Royal Enfield motorcycles and themed content becoming available shortly after through limited-time events. Krafton India has indicated that these rewards will be accessible during a defined event window, encouraging consistent player participation and repeat engagement.

Complementing the digital integration, Royal Enfield has also revealed a custom-built Continental GT 650 inspired by the BGMI universe. The motorcycle incorporates design elements influenced by the game’s tactical and survival themes, serving as a physical representation of the collaboration beyond the screen.

For Krafton India, the partnership aligns with its broader focus on localisation, using India-centric brands and themes to sustain BGMI’s popularity. For Royal Enfield, the collaboration provides a gateway to connect with younger, gaming-focused audiences through interactive experiences rather than conventional advertising.

The tie-up reflects a growing trend in India, where gaming platforms and established consumer brands are increasingly exploring cross-industry collaborations. Krafton India has said additional details on future partnerships and in-game extensions will be shared over the course of 2026.
