PUGB Mobile is the adaptation of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for mobile devices. Available now worldwide, it is possible to improve its performance if you have a rooted Android mobile phone.
Improving the FPS of the Battle Royale that started it all
Although Fortnite is currently positioned as the most important and successful Battle Royale, ahead of Garena Free Fire or PUBG itself, on Android you can still only enjoy the “original” game, the one that really popularized the survival genre that it has conquered the world. PUBG Mobile brings all the great things about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to mobile, but like its competitor Garena , that doesn’t mean it’s perfect in its adaptation. That’s why we show you how to improve PUBG Mobile FPS on Android.
How to improve PUBG Mobile FPS on Android
Step 1: root your phone
First things first: you have to root your phone. To do this, follow our Android rooting tutorials and learn everything you need to know.
Step 2: check your version of PUBG Mobile
Do you have version 0.6 or version 0.7? Check it in the application information, within the Settings.
Step 3: download GFX Tool
GFX Tool is the tool that will allow us to configure PUBG Mobile to work better. Download it for free from the Play Store .
Step 4: configure GFX Tool like this
Configure the application using the following image as a guide:
- Version: choose the version of the game you have, something that you will have discovered in step 2.
- Resolution: the lower it is, the easier it is to get more FPS.
- Graphics: from here you can activate even more options than those offered by the game from its configuration menus. With Smooth, the graphics are somewhat worse, but you will have more FPS.
- FPS: the key to everything. Set it to 60 FPS for a smooth experience that doesn’t overheat your phone.
- Anti-aliasing: disabling it offers less to post-processing, which gives more FPS.
- Style: nothing to worry about here.
- Shadows: left to the choice of the game depending on how many resources it has available.
- Vulkan – An API that improves graphics on modern devices. If the game crashes when starting, disable this option.
With all these adjustments, we will be aiming for a performance of 60 FPS in exchange for having somewhat worse graphics.
Step 5: press accept and launch the game
Once you set all the settings as they should, click on the black OK button, at the bottom. The button will transform into a new one to launch PUBG Mobile . Press it and you will enter the game. From there, see if you are comfortable with the settings. You will have worse graphics, but more stable performance.
