PUBG Mobile Lite is real, natural, and has a life-like feel. Players can have almost the same experience as its original version - PUBG Mobile, in its lighter variant. It has detailed map textures as well as high contrast frames. The game also runs seamlessly on high-end devices with 60 FPS frame rates.

Free Fire contrasts here with its graphic optimization. The game is more cartoonish and is arcade-styled. However, it has much better color schemes and 60 FPS frame rates on high-end devices that seems to attract most players.
