PUBG Lite for PC is the lighter version of PUBG. This has been developed by Tencent for those PCs and laptops which do not have a dedicated graphics card or high-end components. Since a major chunk of the population does not have a gaming PC or laptop, yet they still enjoy the bashing on their mobile. The videogame developers decided to make a low-end version of the game that will run on just about any PC or laptop. Tencent has said that PUBG Lite for PC will be able to work and is optimised for PCs and laptops at the fag-end, too.

If you want to enjoy PUBG Lite for PC on your low-end PC or laptop you need the following. A minimum of Intel Core i3 CPU with 2.4 GHz speed, 4GB RAM and at least 4GB of storage space left in your hard drive.
