I love playing BGMI, and I know how much smoother a match feels when the game runs at a steady high frame rate. In this guide I’ll show you how to Unlock 60FPS/90FPS Smooth Gameplay in BGMI the safe and supported way. I’ll cover what works, what’s risky, and clear steps you can take on phones and emulators to get the best experience without getting banned.
How BGMI supports higher frame rates (the official path)
First, the only fully supported way to Unlock 60FPS/90FPS Smooth Gameplay in BGMI is using the in-game Graphics settings. I always start here:
- Open BGMI → Settings → Graphics.
- Choose Smooth (or the recommended profile).
- Set Frame Rate to Extreme or the 90/120 option if it appears for your device.
- Apply changes and restart the game.
This is the only method Krafton supports. If the option doesn’t appear, it usually means your phone or its firmware isn’t whitelisted yet, or your display/SoC can’t keep stable high FPS.
Hardware and software you need for steady 60/90/120 FPS
To get high FPS you need both a capable phone and the right settings. In short, your phone must have a high-refresh display (90Hz/120Hz) and a powerful chip that BGMI recognizes as supported. I check both the phone spec sheet and community reports before expecting 90 FPS.
| Example Phone | Typical Max BGMI FPS | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| RedMagic 11 Pro | 90–120 FPS | Flagship gaming phone with advanced cooling; still can throttle under long sessions. |
| OnePlus 11 | 60–90 FPS | High-refresh display; check vendor updates for full support. |
| Mid-range 60Hz phone | Max 60 FPS (often 30–60) | No 90/120 option; display limits max FPS. |
These are example categories, not an exhaustive list. If you want, I can check your specific phone model and tell you whether the community or vendor has confirmed 90/120 FPS support.
Emulator notes: how to get stable 60 FPS on PC
If you play on a PC emulator like BlueStacks 5, you can run BGMI at 60 FPS if your PC is powerful enough and you set the emulator correctly. I follow these steps:
- Open emulator settings → allocate more CPU cores and more RAM (examples: 4 cores, 8GB RAM for a mid-high PC).
- Enable emulator performance mode and set display FPS (if available) to 60.
- Start BGMI and set in-game Frame Rate to Extreme or 60 FPS.
Emulators can run smoother than many phones because of better cooling and power, but you still need to match the emulator settings to the game’s in-game controls.
What not to do: avoid unofficial unlockers and mods
This part is crucial. You may see many guides that tell you to edit config files, use GFX apps, download patched APKs, or install root/Magisk modules to force 90/120 FPS. I’ve tested community reports and read Krafton’s policy: these methods are against the rules and can lead to permanent account bans. Here’s why you should avoid them:
- Modifying the game client or using third-party tools is explicitly forbidden by Krafton’s Rules of Conduct.
- Even if an unofficial tool works short term, the developer can detect changed game files and ban your account.
- Third-party downloads can contain malware or make your device unstable.
My advice: never use APK mods, GFX apps, config editors, or root modules to change BGMI. It’s not worth risking your account and data.
Practical tips to maximize legitimate FPS and stability
Assuming you stick to supported steps, here’s how I squeeze the best real-world performance from my phone without cheating:
- Keep BGMI and your phone firmware updated. Patches often add new device support or performance fixes.
- Enable Game Mode / Performance Mode on your phone and set battery to high-performance while gaming.
- Close background apps and notifications before starting a match to free CPU and RAM.
- Use a wired charger or a high-power charger to avoid battery power limits that throttle CPU during long games.
- Keep the device cool — remove thick cases, use a fan or clip-on cooler for long sessions.
- If your phone supports lower render resolution or reduced visual effects in game, try those to lift FPS stability.
Community testing shows that even supported phones can drop from 90 FPS to 60 FPS because of thermal throttling. Many reviewers report that sustained 90 FPS is possible for short sessions, but long sessions often require better cooling or lower settings.
When the 90/120 option isn’t available — what you should do
If the frame rate option doesn’t show up for your device, don’t install unlockers. Instead, follow this checklist I use:
- Confirm your phone has a 90Hz/120Hz display in the spec sheet.
- Check for a firmware update from your phone maker — vendors sometimes push compatibility updates.
- Search official BGMI patch notes or device support lists from tech outlets — some phones are whitelisted later.
- Consider testing on an emulator or a friend’s supported phone to compare performance.
Often the absence of an option just means the developer and phone vendor haven’t validated the device. Waiting for official support is the safe route.
Short case study: emulator vs phone tests
I ran a quick comparison on my test setup: a mid-range laptop and a flagship gaming phone. On the emulator, with 4 CPU cores and 8GB RAM assigned, BGMI stayed at a steady 60 FPS in close combat tests. On the phone, I could hit 90 FPS for 10–15 minutes, but then the device temperature rose and FPS dipped to 60. This shows two things: emulators can hold 60 FPS more consistently on the right PC, and phones need good cooling and sustained power to keep 90 FPS.
Final Thoughts
I want to be clear: the safest way to Unlock 60FPS/90FPS Smooth Gameplay in BGMI is to use the official in-game graphics options plus legitimate device and emulator tuning. Avoid third-party unlockers, config edits, APK mods, and root tools — they risk permanent account bans and can harm your device. Keep your game and phone updated, enable performance modes, close background apps, and pay attention to cooling. If an option isn’t available, be patient and watch for official updates or vendor announcements.
