PUBG Mobile to give 120FPS in Version 3.2
Previously, PUBG Mobile offered a maximum of 90fps for a smoother experience. Now, they’re pushing the boundaries for mobile gaming by introducing 120fps. However, there’s no official confirmation yet on whether this feature will be available for both Android and iOS devices.
The 120fps mode will likely be optimized for high-end and upper mid-range smartphones due to the demanding nature of rendering the game at a higher frame rate. Entry-level devices may struggle to maintain consistent performance at 120fps, even with lower graphics settings. And most entry-level devices also don’t feature the 90fps yet.
The news also extends to BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), the Indian version of PUBG Mobile. BGMI is also expected to receive the 120fps treatment in the coming days, aligning it with the global version.
Beta testing is currently underway. Some beta testers of both PUBG Mobile and BGMI are currently experiencing the 120fps mode firsthand. They’ve reported warnings from the game about potential heating issues and increased battery consumption when using this mode.
For the 120fps mode to truly shine, smartphone manufacturers will also need to optimize their devices to take full advantage of this feature.
Users with the latest flagship smartphones with powerful processors like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 are expected to experience the 120fps mode without issues. Similarly, iPhones with 120Hz displays are also likely to support the new mode.
The announcement of the 120fps mode comes shortly after the release of PUBG Mobile version 3.1 update. The 3.1 update introduces several notable features, including the new themed mode “Skyhigh Spectacle” set in the skies with unique modes of transport and strategic items.
Additionally, the “Home” gameplay mode allows players to customize and build their own homes, explore others’ homes, and engage in various activities, enhancing social interaction. Furthermore, updates to Miramar, WOW gameplay, and Metro Royale add new elements like urban areas, creative possibilities, and firearm attachments, enriching the overall gaming experience.
