Storage size comparison of PUBG Mobile KR and Free Fire

According to the Google Play Store, the download size for PUBG Mobile and its other variants (like KR) is 660 MB. The game has recently released a lightweight download kit for low-end device users, but that is not the complete story.

Although it is advertised as a lightweight installation kit, users must download a resource pack of either 300 MB or 500 MB after downloading PUBG Mobile KR from the Play Store. This takes the total to more than 1 GB.

Following installation, players can use various additional resources (for example, Excitement resource pack, Vintage pack etc.). They must also download and import all maps and modes that are not already installed.

As a result, the total storage size required by PUBG Mobile KR on an Android device would be about 3-3.5 GB.

Free Fire also has hidden download packages inside the game after installation from the Play Store. After the initial download of 680 MB (download size varies from device to device), players may have to download extra maps and game modes to complete the installation process.

However, even after a complete installation of maps and modes, the game takes about somewhere between 1 GB to 1.2 GB of storage space on an Android device.
