KRAFTON India and Nautilus Mobile have teamed up to unveil the exciting Real Cricket 5.1 update, designed to keep cricket enthusiasts engaged even after the domestic season wraps up. Set to launch on June 26, 2026, this update introduces Relive RCPL, a groundbreaking mode that brings back memorable highlights from India’s premier cricket festival. Plus, players can enjoy complimentary access to the premium World Cup 11 Tournament for a limited time, along with a new event inspired by Team India’s Tour of England, adding even more authentic cricket action to the mobile experience.
This update also makes the World Cup 11 Tournament available to all players at no charge for a 14-day window starting June 26. Additionally, the India Tour of England in-game event will take place from July 1 to July 19, 2026, giving fans a chance to immerse themselves in the ongoing overseas series right within the game. Anuj Sahani, Head – KIGI and Director of Publishing at KRAFTON India, shared that “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.”
Relive RCPL brings iconic 2026 match moments back to life
One of the most exciting features in Real Cricket 5.1 is the Relive RCPL mode, which brings back some unforgettable moments from the RCPL 2026 season. Players have the chance to assemble their ultimate playing XI and dive into scenarios that are inspired by real matches. This mode captures the same bowling strategies, match pressures, and playing conditions that defined the tournament. It highlights iconic moments, like the Mumbai Indians finally breaking their 13-year streak of losing their opening match, record-setting batting performances, and the Gujarat Titans’ thrilling chase victories. Players can choose to either relive these historic events or attempt to change the outcome in these engaging challenge scenarios.
Free World Cup 11 access and England tour event expand the experience
One of the standout features is Tournament Rush, which opens up the premium World Cup 11 Tournament to all players for free for 14 days. Throughout this event, players can also rack up bonus in-game Coins by tackling daily missions. Looking ahead, the India Tour of England event is set to take place from July 1 to July 19, 2026, offering players a chance to experience English pitches, overseas playing conditions, and gameplay themed around the tour. This event is crafted to align with the live cricket calendar, making premium content accessible to a broader player community.
