PUBG Mobile Lite is a lite version of the popular Battle Royale shooter. It allows you to play the game under circumstances where you may not otherwise be able to do so, like if you don't have enough storage or have an older Android device. Players can play this version of the app with a mere 600 megabytes.

Most people have now heard of PUBG. Short for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, PUBG has become an exceptionally popular game. However, as fun as the game is, there are challenges with it - particularly if you have an older phone. This Lite version will allow you to play the same game. However, it takes up less space. This makes this version of the game ideal if you have an older phone or less free space.

Like the main game, PUBG Mobile Lite still comes with the same rules: You must try to survive a Battle Royale shooter on a shrinking map. Just like the main game, you have to attempt to be the last person standing. The same weapons and rules still apply, so in terms of content, there is no noticeable difference. Just like the regular game, you can team with friends and play different versions of the game, including the popular Battle Royale format, or a four vs. four game. The graphics are still virtually identical to the popular app as well, ensuring that players in the Lite version still get a game that essentially matches the regular one.

So, what are the differences between this and regular versions? Maps are significantly smaller: Around 25% the size of a regular map. This makes a huge difference on your phone, as it takes up a lot less space. There are also fewer enemies. This actually isn't the end of the world - it means that you can play faster and more frenetic games, usually lasting under ten minutes.

This app absolutely comes with some great benefits if you need it, but there are tradeoffs. For starters, there is no training mode and no tutorial. As such, you are thrown right into the game, and this can lead to you getting killed many, many times before you finally get the hang on the game.

Like the regular version, this app contains many nice add-ons. For example, it is available in twelve different languages, thus ensuring that the vast majority of players can play, regardless of what language they speak or read. Furthermore, the app comes with a huge amount of in-game anti-cheating protocols. This makes it easy for players to play safely, knowing that they are likely playing a very fair game.

This app is very popular, holding an "Editor's Choice" distinction in the Google Play store. Furthermore, it is well-rated: The game has been reviewed more than seven million times, and the average rating is 4.2 out of 5 stars. In other words, not only is this game popular, but it is reviewed very highly.

Unfortunately, some users have noted that the latest update crashes repeatedly. However, if that is true, it is highly likely that new versions of the app will fix these issues. After all, the game is one of the most popular at the moment, and a robust team of developers is constantly making adjustments to the app.
