PUBG Mobile System Requirements (Android, iOS, & PC)

Looking to download PUBG on your device but not sure if your system can run it smoothly? Here are the PUBG Mobile system requirements for Android, iOS, and PC. Before we continue, let me tell you that these are the minimum requirements to ensure the game runs on your system. However, the FPS and overall smoothness also depend on factors like temperature, processor, RAM, and storage.

What is PUBG Mobile?

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile is an online multiplayer battle royale game where players can join solo, in a duo, or as a squad to fight enemies and survive for the Chicken Dinner. The game offers various modes like Team Deathmatch (TDM), Classic (Livik, Erangel, Nusa, etc.), and Arcade. Each mode takes a different amount of time to complete—for example, Erangel takes around 30 minutes, while Livik takes about 15 minutes. If you’re short on time, you can easily play TDM or Arcade matches.

In addition, PUBG offers an in-game Royale Pass and events where you can unlock amazing mythic outfits, gun skins, and vehicles that give a luxury feel. There are also different crates like Classic, Supply, and Premium, available for a limited time, featuring fresh items and upgradable gun skins with rare outfits. You can explore even more features after downloading the game. But first, let’s take a look at the minimum and recommended system requirements.

PUBG Mobile System Requirements

Here are the system requirements for Android, iOS, and PC. The minimum requirements mean your device must meet these specs to run the game. The recommended requirements are what your device should have for a smoother and more stable gaming experience.

Android

Category	Minimum Requirements	Recommended Requirements
OS	Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) or higher	Android 10 or higher
RAM	2 GB	4 GB or more
CPU	Snapdragon 435 / MediaTek Helio P22 or equivalent	Snapdragon 720G, Helio G90T, or better
GPU	—	Adreno 618 or equivalent
Storage	At least 4 GB of free space	6–10 GB free (including maps, graphics, items, and updates)

If your device meets the minimum system requirements, I recommend keeping it cool, as this can reduce in-game lag and improve your overall experience.

iOS

Category	Minimum Requirements	Recommended Requirements
Device	iPhone 6s or newer	iPhone XR or newer
OS	iOS 12 or higher	iOS 13 or higher
Storage	Minimum 4 GB free	6 GB or more free (for additional content)

Since iPhones can drain battery quickly, make sure your phone is fully charged before starting the game. However, if you’re thinking about playing while charging, it’s best to avoid it, as it can heat up your device and potentially cause damage or discomfort.

PC (Using Emulator)

While PUBG Mobile is a mobile game, you can also play it on a PC using Android emulators like Tencent Gaming Buddy (Gameloop), BlueStacks, or LDPlayer. Here are the system requirements for smooth emulator gameplay:

Minimum PC Requirements:

• OS: Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11 (64-bit)
• CPU: Intel Core i3 (5th Gen) or equivalent
• RAM: 4 GB
• GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000 or equivalent
• Storage: At least 8 GB free
• Internet: Stable Internet connection

Recommended PC Requirements:

• CPU: Intel Core i5 / Ryzen 5 or better
• RAM: 16 GB or more
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7850 or better
• Storage: SSD preferred, with 6–12 GB free space
• Internet: 10 Mbps or faster

If you play PUBG Mobile on a PC using an emulator, you’ll be matched with other emulator players. This is because PC users have a competitive advantage due to higher specs and better graphics performance.

Tips for Better Performance

Here are the best tips from me that will help the game run better.

• Always keep your device cool (use a cooling fan).
• Restrict background app usage to free up RAM.
• Add “No battery restriction” for PUBG.
• Switch to the high-speed Wi-Fi network.
• Always use the built-in game booster (some devices may not support it).

Final Words

PUBG developers aim to provide a smoother and fairer gaming environment. However, some players still resort to cheats and hacks, such as increasing TPP view distance or removing grass to improve performance. These actions are illegal and can result in a 10-year ban on your account. Always use legitimate methods to reduce lag—set Graphics to “Smooth” and FPS to the highest available option. Since the 3.9 update, more devices now officially support 60 FPS, as confirmed by the developers.
