KRAFTON India has announced a landmark partnership with Royal Enfield. For the first time, Indian gamers will be able to ride two of the country’s most iconic motorcycles, the legendary Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and the sporty Continental GT 650, directly inside the BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI) universe.
The collaboration is set to roll out with the BGMI 4.2 update, which goes live on Jan 15, 2026. While players can update their game mid-month, the official debut of these motorcycles on the virtual terrain is scheduled for Jan 19, 2026.
This partnership marks a significant moment in Indian gaming history, bridging the gap between automotive heritage and interactive entertainment to create a culturally rooted experience for millions of players.
To celebrate the integration, players can access a host of exclusive Royal Enfield-themed content through a special SPIN event running from Jan 19, 2026, to Feb 22, 2026. During this window, gamers have the chance to unlock permanent Mythic (Red Tier) rewards. The lineup includes the tactical Revel 01 Set, the Bullet Line – P90 gun skin, the CrankGuard helmet, and the Roadborn Rucksack backpack. The crown jewels of the event, however, are the permanent rideable vehicles themselves: the virtual Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and the Bullet 350.

Bridging the Real and Virtual Worlds
KRAFTON has also introduced a player-friendly engagement mechanic for this event. By simply logging into BGMI for 60 minutes daily, without the mandatory requirement to actively play matches, users can earn a Royal Enfield Event Crate. Over the course of the event, diligent players can collect up to 34 of these crates, increasing their chances of snagging premium permanent rewards.
The collaboration extends beyond the screen with a unique physical centerpiece: a custom-built motorcycle based on the Continental GT 650. Crafted by a Delhi-based custom builder, this machine serves as a "physical heartbeat" of the partnership. Designed to mirror BGMI’s survivalist aesthetic, the bike features Picatinny rails, armored plating, parachute tie-down points, and balloon tyres. Adrian John Sellers, Head of Custom & Motorsports at Royal Enfield, described the machine as a blend of the "raw, tactical aesthetic of gaming with the soul of custom motorcycling."
Seddharth Merrotra, Head of Business Development & Partnerships at KRAFTON India, emphasized that this partnership embodies the vision of creating culturally meaningful experiences. He noted that 2026 will be a year of many firsts, with this collaboration setting a strategic foundation for future partnerships across movies, sports, and lifestyle landscapes. The initiative reflects a shared intent to engage India’s next-generation audience by weaving storytelling and lifestyle into gameplay, reflecting the aspirations of modern Indian youth.
"I've heard a saying long back that, 'Good start, half done.' This is one of our most ambitious partnerships to date, and it sets the tone for 2026 as one of the biggest collaborations for this year," Merrotra told Outlook Respawn.
