How exactly to setup PUBG Mobile
Choose your login wisely: You can play as a Guest, use Facebook, or Twitter to sign-in on PUBG Mobile. Facebook or Twitter means you've to connect to your account, but you can then sync your data, in order to switch to a different phone or tablet without losing all of your progress.
Ready your phone: PUBG Mobile is really a demanding game and your phone needs to be at its best. Remove whatever you don't need onto it, quit dozens of other apps it's likely you have running in the background. Switch off battery saver, switch off data savers, switch off night mode to find the best experience. You could also wish to switch off auto-brightness - it would dim the game during the game so you can't see so well. Brighter = better.Prepare your network: There's not so much you can do here, but also for a lag-free experience, you'll need a good link with the PUBG servers. The mobile network will often have a variable speed so it's Wi-Fi all the way. Test your network speed using something such as Speedtest (Apple App Store, Google Play) and avoid trying to play when somebody else is streaming 4K content. Our home Wi-Fi reports 5ms, and this works great.
Connect your headphones: PUBG Mobile has great audio and often the speakers on your phone won't do it justice. Connect your headphones for a more immersive experience - additionally it helps you pinpoint approaching enemy.
