The developers are saying that the proper and authentic PuBG experience has been retained in this PuBG Mobile Lite version of the game in a more optimized way.
- The PuBG Mobile Lite, unlike the earlier version, hosts only 10 minutes of classic matches with 60 players. They made this small change for the lower-end devices keeping their weaker network conditions in mind.
