How to download PUBG Mobile on PC

In case you don’t really want to know about paying money to play PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on PC, you might want to consider the free version designed for mobile devices. It is in fact also available for computers thanks to the official emulator developed directly by Tencent Games: the latter allows you to play PUBG Mobile with a mouse and keyboard, but only against other players who use the same input method.

In this case, the required resources are much lower than the basic version of the game, since we are talking about the same title that is found on smartphones and tablets. However, there are minimum requirements to be met.

  • Operating system: Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7;
  • Processor: dual-core 1.8 GHz Intel / AMD;
  • RAM: 3GB;
  • Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 / 9600GT, ATI / AMD Radeon HD2600 / 3600;

  • Free disk space: 1GB.

To download the emulator for PUBG Mobile, connect to the official Tencent website and press the Download item . When the download is complete, open the GameDownload_PUBG_MOBILE_ [version] .exe file and click on Yes to allow the various permissions.

At this point, press the green Install button and wait for the program to be installed on your computer. Once this is done, press the Start button to start the emulator and, consequently, the download of PUBG Mobile.

Once the emulator has finished downloading PUBG Mobile, press the blue PLAY button and select the PUBG MOBILE icon to start playing the PUBG Corporation and Tencent Games title on your computer.

Once the game starts, it may download the latest updates needed to play online. It wasn’t difficult, was it?
