How do I change my name in Battlegrounds Mobile India?

The only way to change your in-game name is by using a Rename Card. If you already have one then quickly jump into the steps below. If you don’t have one, worry not, Krafton has sent a free Rename Card to players through in-game emails. To claim it, simply head to the in-game mail, find the card and press the button to claim it.

  • Launch the game and wait for it to fully load
  • After it’s done loading, head to the Inventory section that's located in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen
  • Find the Rename Card, that you previously claimed from the in-game mailbox
  • Press the Use button to start the process
  • A window will then open up asking for your desired IGN. Enter your name and hit the OK button
  • Remember that you can only change your name once a day

If you have already used the free Rename Card, then you can always buy another one from the in-game shop. A Rename Card costs 180 UC.

Download Battlegrounds Mobile India right now for free in the Google Play Store. A reminder that this game is exclusive to India.
