KRAFTON India and Nautilus Mobile today announced Real Cricket Update 5.1, bringing three new experiences to the game that celebrate what cricket means to Indian fans: iconic moments worth reliving, history worth revisiting, and a live tour worth following.
The update, available from 26 June 2026, introduces Relive RCPL, a first-of-its-kind mode that recreates standout moments from India’s biggest cricket festival; Tournament Rush, offering all players free access to the World Cup 11 Tournament for a limited 14-day window; and an India Tour of England in-game event running from 1–19 July 2026.
Talking about the update, Anuj Sahani, Head – KIGI and Director of Publishing, KRAFTON India, said: “5.1 is about keeping players in the middle of cricket season, even when the season is technically over. Relive RCPL gives you real match situations – the same pressure, the same bowling attacks – and lets you play them your way. That’s the kind of experience we want Real Cricket to own, and our job is to make sure that when something big happens in cricket, Real Cricket players feel and engage with it first.”
