#1 Graphics and size

PUBG Mobile runs on the Unreal Engine and provides the players with a more realistic experience. In contrast, Free Fire has lower system requirements, ensuring smoother gameplay on low-end devices.

The size of PUBG Mobile (1.8 GB) is comparatively more than Free Fire (553 MB) as well, on Google Play Store.


#2 Number of players in a match

PUBG Mobile has 100 players dropping on an island to face off against each other. On the other hand, Free Fire only features 50 participants in a match. The latter calls for fast-paced action and has relatively smaller maps.
