What lower-end mobile version of PUBG launched for Android devices in 2019?

The lower-end Android version of PUBG launched in 2019 was PUBG Mobile Lite.

PUBG Mobile Lite was created as an abridged edition for phones with less memory and processing power than the standard mobile game required. It used a smaller map and supported matches with up to 60 players, compared with the familiar 100-player format of the main PUBG Mobile experience. These changes made the game more accessible on budget Android devices.

The first release took place in Thailand on 24 January 2019, followed by availability in additional Asian, Latin American, and African markets. A broader release date often cited for the version is 25 July 2019, which can cause confusion when questions refer generally to its 2019 launch.

PUBG Mobile Lite was not the same as regional editions such as PUBG Mobile TW, PUBG Mobile VN, or PUBG Mobile KR. Those names identified localized versions of PUBG Mobile, while Lite described a separate, performance-oriented edition.
