BGMI 3.9 update lets gamers play as Optimus Prime: How to join as a Transformer character
Krafton has launched the 3.9 update for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), introducing a new limited-time mode in collaboration with Transformers, headlined by the iconic character Optimus Prime. The latest update allows players to summon and take control of Optimus Prime during matches, marking a significant crossover in the mobile battle royale title. Using a new in-game item called the Spacebridge Beacon, which appears in specific drop zones, players can call in Optimus in his truck form. Once deployed, he transforms into his robot avatar, equipped with abilities such as the Thermal Axe and Charge Slam. In addition to these abilities, players can collect Energon Cubes throughout the match. These items serve as upgrade tools, enhancing Optimus Prime's combat skills and unlocking a powerful ultimate move. A new in-game event called the Transformers Prize Path is set to begin on 18 July. Through this event, players can complete missions and level up to unlock Optimus Prime-themed skins and other cosmetic rewards. Another feature introduced in the update is the Nemesis Showdown. If both Optimus Prime and Megatron are summoned within the same match, a special encounter can occur, leading to a cinematic battle between the two characters, adding a dramatic layer to standard gameplay. The BGMI 3.9 update is currently available for download on Android and iOS platforms. In other news, Krafton is reportedly considering extending the timeline for a potential bonus payout at its subsidiary, Unknown Worlds, following the delay of Subnautica 2 to next year. Approximately 40 team members at Unknown Worlds were in line to split a $25 million bonus, which was tied to the studio meeting specific revenue goals by the end of 2025, highlighted Bloomberg. A short-term extension had been factored into the original plan. However, with the game's launch now postponed, concerns have grown among staff that reaching those targets may no longer be feasible, putting their expected earnings at risk.

FAQs Can I unlock both Optimus Prime and Bumblebee outfits? No. You must choose one outfit when completing the Prize Path. Unless another path or reward system is added, both cannot be earned in a single run. Where can I get Megatron and Windblade? These are only available via the Double Lucky Treasure draws—not part of the Prize Path. The Rise of the Beasts crossover is one of the game's most exciting collaborations to date. The PUBG Mobile x Transformers Prize Path delivers high-value cosmetics, guaranteed legendary outfits, and immersive voice packs—all for just 600 UC. For those looking to dive deeper into the treasure draws, there are even more epic rewards to chase.

BGMI 3.9 update with Transformer-themed mode goes live: Know what's new
South Korean video game publisher Krafton released a new update for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) on July 16. The BGMI 3.9 update introduces a new themed mode based on the Transformers franchise, alongside other gameplay additions and event-focused features. The update is now live for players and includes changes across in-game visuals, user interface, and limited-time events. BGMI 3.9 update: What is new A new theme mode has been introduced, bringing Transformers like Optimus Prime and Megatron to the battleground. As part of this theme, BGMI players can now roam across a utopian Transformers-inspired town patrolled by AI-controlled robots and get new vehicles like skateboards. Akin to turning into giants in the BGMI 3.8 update, in this new update, players can transform into Optimus Prime or Megatron. Since these are Transformers, players will be able to turn them into tank or truck form to traverse the map. This mode also comes with special Dual Zones and the Star Pub Brawl Area for some bot-battling action. Another key change of this update is the introduction of a 3D social lobby, which as per Krafton, is a new place to hang out. This 3D lobby replaces the existing 2D lobby with beach-themed zones, emotes, gestures, and team invite functions. As part of the tradition, new in-game events have been introduced that build upon Friendship Day and India's Independence Day. It brings themed events like Friendship Fuel, BGMI Freedom, and the BGMI Friendship Exchange. According to the company, this update comes with a range of 'high-value colour-based rewards and socially driven weekend engagement mechanics.' To ensure that players do not miss out on these events, Krafton has rolled out limited-time bubble icons in the lobby, which would redirect players to the ongoing in-game events. Additionally, a new 'Path to Glory' section has also been rolled out in the game to educate players on BGMI's core gameplay through interactive tutorials and videos. Completion of these tutorials would offer rewards to players. Furthermore, Krafton has updated the BGMI content creator leaderboard for Season 3 of its 'Heroes ka Mahayuddh' campaign. The latest season features a redesigned interface and adds new incentives, including Amazon vouchers, for the top ten performing creators from previous seasons.
