To drop into Erangel’s greenery or in Miramar’s desert environment without lag or frame drops, you need to make sure your device’s specs are up to the task. To play on mobile, PC, or emulator, here are all PUBG Mobile requirements for Android, iOS & Emulator, and PUBG PC hardware specifications needed to play on Steam.
PUBG Mobile Requirements for Android & iOS
Minimum Requirements
- Android: Version 5.1.1+, 2GB RAM, Snapdragon 425 or similar
- iOS: iOS 9+, iPhone 5s, iPad Mini 2 or later
- Storage: 4 GB+ free (game size grows with updates)
If you’re on a low-end device, expect longer load times, fewer visual effects, and possible lag in hot drops. Honestly, expect 30fps or less.
Recommended Requirements
- Android: Android 10 or newer, Snapdragon 680 or better, 4 GB+ RAM
- iOS: iOS 11 or above, iPhone 8 or newer
- Storage: 10–20 GB (base game is ~2.5 GB, rest is downloaded in-game)
For stable 40–60fps in Classic or TDM, these specs are your sweet spot.
Ultra Settings (Maxed Out)
- Android: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 6 GB+ RAM
- iOS: iPhone 13 Pro/14+
- Display: 120Hz supported for smoother visuals
- Storage: 25 GB+ (for HD packs, maps, voice chat files)
Want HDR with an Extreme frame rate? You’ll need a flagship.
Playing PUBG Mobile on PC (via Emulator)
Many of us love the comfort of mouse + keyboard using emulators like Tencent Gameloop, BlueStacks, or LDPlayer.
Minimum Emulator Requirements
- OS: Windows 7, 8, 10 (64-bit)
- CPU: Intel/AMD Dual-Core @ 1.8GHz
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU: GeForce GTX 960 or AMD R7 370
- Storage: 5 GB+ free
You’ll get around 30fps in classic matches, but it might stutter during air drops or driving.
Recommended Emulator Requirements
- CPU: Intel i5-6600K or Ryzen 5 1600
- GPU: GTX 1060 3GB or RX 580 4GB
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: 20 GB+
- Internet: Stable 10Mbps+
With these specs, you can crank up graphics, run background apps, and still win close-range fights with minimal input lag.
PUBG PC Requirements for Steam Edition
If you’re not on the emulator or mobile and want full-sized combat with 144fps dreams on PUBG PC, here’s what you need:
Minimum Specifications (expect 40fps max)
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: i5-4430 or AMD FX-6300
- GPU: GTX 960 or R7 370 (2GB VRAM)

- GPU: GTX 1060 3GB / RX 580 4GB
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: 50GB
- Goal: Smooth 60+ fps in most situations
For Competitive/144Hz Monitors
- CPU: i9-9900K or Ryzen 7 3800X
- GPU: RTX 2060 Super or RX 5700
- RAM: 32GB

If you’re running PUBG Mobile in 2025, 2GB RAM won’t cut it anymore unless you’re on Lite. To run it competitively on an emulator or a PC, consider at least an i5, a GTX 1060, and 16GB RAM. Further, invest in a stable internet connection because no specs can save you from packet loss in a 1v4.
