The much-awaited BGMI 3.9 Update has finally dropped, bringing a futuristic twist to the battlefield! From hover boards and Transformer abilities to Galaxy Burger vending machines and auto-recall POIs, this update introduces game-changing features that elevate gameplay like never before.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new version of BGMI Mobile 3.9.
BGMI 3.9 Release Date
While the BGMI 3.9 release date for the global stable version hasn’t been officially announced by Krafton yet, the beta version is already available for Android users via the beta testing program. Based on past update cycles, the final rollout could happen by late June or early July 2025.
🛹 Hover Boards Now in BGMI — From Spawn Island to Final Zone!
Players now spawn with hover boards, and they’re not just for show — these are permanently available throughout the match.
Key Features of Hover Boards:
-
Available from Spawn Island and across the map.
-
Can be used to quickly rotate or escape enemies.
-
Three hover board abilities:
-
Perform emotes while riding.
-
Activate a temporary shield to block bullets.
-
Make your character stand and dance — fun, but risky!
-
-
Can be used to ram into enemies or vehicles, knocking them back.
🧠 Tip: Although hover boards offer high mobility, they come with cooldown timers and enemies can still knock or finish you if you’re careless.
🏙️ New POIs in Erangel – Welcome to “Neon Town”
Two new Points of Interest (POIs) have been introduced in Erangel:
-
Neon Town (near Primorsk)
-
Another POI (near Prison)
Both areas are hot drop locations, packed with:
-
High loot for full squads
-
Hover boards by default
-
Auto-recall system: if you die in these zones, you get an extra chance to return!
⚠️ Note: Some loot items currently have bugs in this beta release.
🍔 Galaxy Burger Machine — Eat to Boost!
One of the coolest additions is the Galaxy Burger vending machine. You can:
-
Interact with the machine to receive burgers.
-
Burgers restore your booster meter to 100%, like super-syringes.
-
Found at multiple locations across the map.
🤖 Transformer System – Become a Vehicle!
The star of the 3.9 update is the Transformer character system, which lets you:
-
Interact with special machines to transform into a Transformer hero.
-
No special steps needed — just trigger the machine and wait for the transformation.
-
Your team name displays with lightning animations.
-
Get loot like P90 guns and burgers.
🔄 Transformation Features:
-
Switch between human and vehicle mode anytime — no cooldown!
-
The Transformer vehicle seats 2 players and offers:
-
Auto-pilot mode
-
Speed boost function
-
-
It’s powerful: one punch from a Transformer can knock out a bot!
🛑 Limitations: The Transformer feature gets disabled automatically in the final zones, leaving behind 3 props (stones) for cover.
A flying saucer-like drone follows the Transformer, possibly providing energy or control. Once disabled, it absorbs the Transformer and vanishes.
💥 Game Impact – New Meta for Rotation & Combat
-
Hover boards will likely reduce vehicle dependency.
-
The Transformer feature brings new tactical advantages, especially in mid-game fights.
-
Auto-recall zones will shift player drop strategies and encourage high-risk/high-reward play.
Overall, BGMI 3.9 offers gameplay changes that blend fun with futuristic warfare — something players will surely love.
