PUBG Mobile Lite's launch was meant to provide low-end Android players with a lighter variant of the immensely popular Battle Royale game, PUBG Mobile. The game's target audience was Garena Free Fire fans. Suffice to say, it offered a far more realistic survival shooter with better game physics and gun mechanics.

Although PUBG Mobile was never able to become a tough competitor to Free Fire, over time, it has excelled in amassing a niche audience. Having clocked over 100 million users, Tencent has introduced many features in the Lite version of PUBG Mobile while ensuring that the former receives new content every few months.
