To play PUBG Mobile on a PC, you will need to use an emulator. An emulator is a special app that allows your PC to behave like a mobile device, making it possible to launch and play mobile games. For the most part, emulators are only usable for only Android devices.

There are plenty of available emulators such as Bluestacks and LDPlayer.

Regardless of the one you choose, here are the instructions on how you can play PUBG Mobile on PC:

  1. Install an emulator onto your PC.
  2. Launch the emulator.
  3. Search for PUBG Mobile on Google Play.
  4. Download the game.
  5. Launch PUBG Mobile on your PC and enjoy an exciting battle royale.

Most Android emulators also provide support for controllers, allowing players to enjoy the game like on consoles. Still, note that it's pretty challenging to set up PUBG Mobile for controllers correctly.

If you are an iOS user, you can use one of the many web-based emulators such as Appetize.io and Eclipse to play PUBG Mobile on a PC.

In PUBG Mobile, there are 3 types of possible lobbies:

  • Mobile/Tablet
  • Official Emulator
  • 3rd Party Emulator

Therefore, emulator players get matches with other emulator players. Is there any way to avoid this restriction? The answer is yes.

You only need to invite a mobile player into your lobby to get matched in a mixed lobby of emulator/mobile players. Still, note that you might face long queue times by trying to start a mixed lobby.

Can I Use The Same Account On Both Emulator And Mobile?
