PUBG Mobile Lite expands PUBG Mobile’s compatibility to even more devices, especially those in the budget segment and early mid-range segment. The Lite version of the game is optimized for low-end smartphones which have low RAM and lower storage specifications, as the game comes in at just 400MB for its installer and is designed to work on phones with less than 2GB of RAM. PUBG Mobile Lite thus features a smaller map that accommodates 60 players against the 100 players in the full version. Because of the smaller map and the lower number of simultaneous players in the map, a single round of gameplay comes out to be much faster at 10 minutes compared to the usual ~25 minutes of gameplay in the full mobile version.

• Enhanced Aim Assist: The new auxiliary aim assist makes aiming simpler and better on weaker networks. The intensity differs between standing and prone positions.
• Winner Pass: The Royale Pass from the regular version is replaced with a Winner Pass. The season for this new pass will span over a month and have faster achievement unlocks.
• Bullet Trail Adjustments: The Lite version of the game will feature increased bullet speed and no bullet drop effect, simplifying gameplay for weak networks.
• Weapon Recoil Suppression: The Lite version also has lower weapon recoil compared to the main game, simplifying gameplay.
• Extended Time To Kill: The Lite version makes appropriate increases to Time to Kill to increase player survivability and encourage aggressive gameplay.
• Location Display: The map on the Lite game will expose a shooter within the mini-map’s range, increasing battle speed and changing game dynamics.
• Healing while Moving: Another core gameplay change involves adding in the ability for players to heal while they are moving. Players can heal in all stances except prone.
• Building Density and Loot Supply Optimizations: To complement the smaller map, building density has been increased. Loot frequency has also been increased to expedite looting and speed up gameplay.
• Map Quality Optimizations
• RPG and new Firearm integrations: Players can experience a new weapon in select game modes.

One of the biggest additions is going to be a new team deathmatch mode. Part of the EvoGround section, the new mode has already arrived in beta and brings a brand new perspective to the game. Like most deathmatch games like Unreal Tournament or Doom, this one also offers similar gameplay. You can pick up weapons and attachments as soon as you spawn and once you are killed, you are automatically respawned on the map. The team that gets the most number kills, wins the match. Compared to other modes, the deathmatch is fast paced making it more exciting.

Now, in as much as every avid gamer would want to get a chance to beat off other players from around the world, the sad reality is that a good majority of them cannot simply because of geo-restrictions imposed either by the gaming company, or by the government in whatever country they’re trying to connect from. In most cases, the blocks imposed are not as technical as most would assume, and they’d only require a credible VPN service to get around.

A VPN service basically creates a secure tunnel through which your traffic is able to pass through undetected, without leaving any trails as to which sites you happen to be visiting, and making it very hard for anyone to use your connection to hack to your device or track you down. With anonymity being one of the advantages you can get from a VPN service, this means you’d be able to work around any of the geo-blocks that might have been put in place to frustrate your access to the game.

This thrilling multiplayer video game is the brainchild of Brendan Green. He came up with the perfect version of the game after doing a series of mods, inspired by the Japanese movie Battle Royale. He sought out to create a game that involved not only the element of speed required to react really fast to changing situations but also that of surprise and improvisation based on one’s surroundings.

Having contacted Green and organized for an early release of the game sometime in 2013, Bluehole was successfully able to get its hands on one of the most successful games we’ve seen in a while. They even managed to lock in Green by appointing him as a creative director in the company. The game has gone on to break records on Steam, having reached 1.3 million concurrent players at a time. Shortly after it was launched on Xbox One, the previous record got pushed even higher to about 3.1 million concurrent players, with a “Best Multiplayer Game in 2017” award already in the pocket.

Geographic restrictions are known to make it difficult for a lot of individuals to access sites, channels and online games whenever they’re in a blocked region. A simple solution to this problem is the use of a VPN service that’s facilitated by a worthwhile provider. You shouldn’t stay outside your favorite site or channel just because you’ve traveled to a foreign region. Sign up with a VPN and access whatever you’d want regardless of wherever you may be.

The new Gameplay Management for PUBG Mobile has been deployed recently in certain areas including Asian and North African countries, including India, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Kuwait, Nepal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The new feature will roll out in other markets in stages until it is available globally.

This new system will help players to make informed time management choices when playing PUBGMobile. The Gameplay Management system will be activated when a user logs in to the game for the first time, as they will need to enter their age to activate the service. Once it is activated, players under the age of 18 will have to acknowledge a gaming advisory before they can continue with the game. Also, the system is going to use notification pop-ups to remind players when to stop playing the game or when to take rest.

Vincent Wang, General Manager of Global Publishing Department, Tencent Games, says, “PUBG Mobile is committed to being a responsible interactive entertainment provider. With experts worldwide examining the impacts of technology and video games on players of all ages, our team wants to ensure our community is equipped to make informed choices when it comes to PUBG Mobile.
