London, November 12, 2026. PUBG MOBILE today announces the launch of PUBG MOBILE FLASH, its new official lightweight app, available on iOS and Android. Designed to reduce download and storage requirements, the app allows players to enjoy the PUBG MOBILE experience in an optimized format while remaining connected to the original game’s ecosystem.
The PUBG MOBILE experience in a lighter format
PUBG MOBILE FLASH retains the core features of the original game, with Erangel and the Classic Battle Royale mode pre-installed. With an initial download size of less than 1 GB on Android and 2 GB on iOS, players can enjoy the iconic PUBG MOBILE experience while benefiting from an app designed to minimize its initial storage footprint.
The app is fully compatible with the original game: players can team up with those playing PUBG MOBILE , while their accounts, matches, friends, and assets are synced across both apps. PUBG MOBILE FLASH will also receive ongoing updates fully synchronized with PUBG MOBILE.
On-demand resources and a streamlined interface
PUBG MOBILE FLASH allows players to download additional resources as needed, including other maps, game modes, events, and graphical assets. A download confirmation system gives players greater control over their downloads and prevents unwanted automatic resource downloads.
By default, the app features a simplified Lobby and lightweight icons to further reduce storage usage. Higher-quality graphical resources remain available for download for players who want a more detailed visual experience. Similarly, when an outfit or cosmetic item has not been downloaded, a temporary outfit will be displayed until the corresponding resources are manually downloaded, allowing the original appearance to be displayed.
Optimizations designed for lower-end devices
PUBG MOBILE FLASH features dedicated graphics optimizations designed to improve performance across supported devices.Compared with the FLASH Beta, optimization targets include:
These figures represent optimization targets and are not guaranteed improvements across all devices. PUBG MOBILE FLASH requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM and supports frame rate options of 25, 30, 40, and 60 FPS, depending on device capabilities.
A secure gaming experience, without compromise
The app’s lightweight design does not compromise fair play. PUBG MOBILE FLASH features the same Ban Pan security system as PUBG MOBILE, including real-time monitoring, violation detection and enforcement mechanisms, as well as the Investigator system.
Players can therefore enjoy the competitive PUBG MOBILE experience in a lightweight app while benefiting from the same anti-cheat protections.
Launch Celebrations and Exclusive Rewards
To celebrate the launch of PUBG MOBILE FLASH, players will be able to take part in special activations through the $1M Perks Station event.
Players in the UK will have an extra chance to win exclusive Samsung prizes, including:
-
Two Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra devices;
-
Three pairs of Samsung Galaxy Buds;
-
£100 discounts on Samsung Galaxy Z and S series devices.
An offline Samsung activation will also take place at Samsung King’s Cross, offering attendees another chance to win a device, meet KOLs, and take part in mini-challenges to win exclusive merchandise.
