Not wanting to alienate owners of low-end smartphones from the PUBG Mobile fun, PUBG Corp. recently released a lighter and less resource-intensive version of the game calledPUBG Mobile Litewhich is tailor-made for budget smartphones.

However, if you can’t wait for the game to officially arrive in India, here’s how you can install the game on your budget smartphone.

Important Note:It appears that PUBG Corp. has temporarily suspended the registration process of PUBG Mobile Lite for new accounts. However, registrations might be open again soon, so keep an eye on it.
If you are wondering what PUBG Mobile Lite has to offer, there are certain differences between PUBG Mobile and its Lite version. First, the maximum number of players in a battle royale match has been reduced from 100 to 40 in PUBG Mobile Lite, and also, the size of maps is now smaller at 2×2 km.
Moreover, the average span of a match has been reduced to roughly 10 minutes, thanks to a lesser number of players and more close quarter combat on the smaller battlefield. Also, Arcade mode is missing and the option to tweak graphics settings is absent too.
