Is BGMI Finally Getting 144 FPS and 165 FPS Support?

While players are enjoying the Primewood Genesis theme in the 4.2 update, data miners have spilled the beans on something much more interesting. According to multiple community-based leaks, BGMI 144 FPS and 165 FPS Support could be the next best thing for battle royale fans to cherish.

Krafton introduced 120Hz gameplay a couple of years back, which is the highest refresh rate they can currently enjoy. If the leaks turn out to be accurate, they might experience 144 and 165 FPS gameplay quite soon. That being said, this article will discuss the BGMI 144 FPS and 165 FPS Support possibility, and the compatible devices for it.

Will Krafton Raise The Bar Again, Pushing Past 120 FPS

Even though nothing has been said on Krafoton's side, there's a possibility that the company might push beyond 120 FPS. As discussed earlier, several community-based sources have leaked that Krafton devs are already testing 144 and 165 FPS gameplay in the beta builds. Since the Ultra Extreme frame rate settings help you enable the 120 FPS option, the upcoming feature could be tagged as Super Fluid or Ultra Extreme+. Honestly, the Ultra Extreme+ name would be the best possible option to go with.

As technology is advancing rapidly, modern-day mobile devices already support 144Hz and 165 Hz displays. Therefore, if Krafton can implement it properly, gamers can actually have much smoother gameplay, similar to high-refresh-rate PC monitors. Leaks have also suggested that the 144 FPS is likely to arrive along with the 4.4 update. And the BGMI 165 FPS support is expected to arrive five to six months from now.

Expected Device With BGMI 144 FPS and 165 FPS Support

First things first, gamers will need a mobile device that supports 144Hz and 165 Hz displays to be eligible for the potential update. Considering the current technology, Dimesity 9400 and Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 5) processors should handle the heavy processing heat. On the other hand, all should be hunky dory with Snapdragon Gen 2 and Gen 3 processors, handling the potential feature. Currently, iQOO devices, OnePlus 15, and a few Motorola devices are quite capable of that. Gamers who use these phones should be eligible for this.

Effects On the Competitive Players

We can all agree that higher FPS enables a buttery smooth gameplay experience. With leaks suggesting BGMI 144 FPS and 165 FPS Support feature, players will face a huge leap from what they're experiencing at the moment. Tracking targets will be much smoother, and there'll be lower input latency. Daily grinders can obtain a huge benefit from the feature.

Neither Tencent nor Krafton has officially confirmed to bring these FPS features live. However, if the leaks turn out to be true, the PUBG Mobile global version will be the first to receive this update. Indian fans might have to wait for some time to take advantage of it.
