PUBG Mobile is a popular game in the Indian market but until now you needed a capable phone to play it.
But that’s changing from Friday onwards, as Tencent has released PUBG Mobile Lite version which will run on basic Android phones, with less than 2GB RAM claimed to be the compatible hardware requirement.
Considering most of the users in the country have phones up to 4GB RAM these days (priced under 15K), the Lite version of the app makes a lot of sense from the company. This is Tencent’s second ‘Lite’ announcement this month, after the Lite version of PUBG was finally made available for PC users in the country.
The app is listed on Google Play store now, and make sure you download the PUBG Mobile Lite app which has been developed by Tencent Games. Any other PUBG Lite version is fake and could carry harmful malware which could try to steal data from your device.
The app is sized at 491MB on the app store, which is significantly smaller than the 2GB size of the regular PUBG Mobile app.
Due to this compressed size of the game, it’s possible that the overall experience for the first couple of days may not be as desired but we’re hopeful that PUBG team can work out those issues with regular updates.

PUBG Mobile Lite features a smaller map made for 60 players, which means faster-paced games that last 10 minutes while still keeping the traditional PUBG style of playPUBG Mobile statement
