The setup for PC is around 19GB and that for mobile is 1.6GB, so updates come in regularly for these kinds of games and an update on the PC version is around 5-10 GB whereas for mobile is 1GB at max. If a player needs practice, there is a separate space in the PC version to get Hands-On experience, but this is no available in the mobile version. Adding more to that recoiling of guns is not a child’s play in the PC version of PUBG whereas it is quite easy in PUBG mobile.
Spotting your enemy is also a difficult task in the PC version as there are no footsteps on maps shown if the enemy is near you.
For those who want to feel the need, a big screen can download a mobile emulator on PCs. Talking about the PC version, the setup is around 1.5GB, and if you love to play multiplayer and avoid most of the hackers, it is always preferred to play it through steam where you have to buy the game first for around Rs. 1000.
Talking about PUBG mobile it was launched on 9 February 2018, and its publisher is Tencent games, and it was launched on IOS and Android platform. The gameplay is a bit different form PC version as a small screen cannot give you the same experience as a PC would. But still, PUBG is played more on mobile than on the PC. It has 30 million daily active users, and India acquires top position PUBG mobile player base(including emulator players). India surpassed China when the game was banned in China.
Is Pubg Ready for E-Sports?
The Battle Royale genre was developed by Brendan Greene. Battle Royale is the name of a Japanese movie released in 2000 portraying the story of a high school class which is sent to an isolated island where they have to fight to the last man standing. The concept was originated from there, and soon games were developed on this. PUBG is the latest game that has made a massive impact on the gaming world, but still, the most played game on this genre is Fortnite. For these kinds of games, a championship is also organized and last Fortnite championship was organized in New York on 26-28 July in which Kyle Giersdorf from Pennsylvania took home a whopping amount of 3 million. Moreover, PUBG nation Nations cup was organized between August 9-11 in Seoul between 16 teams from around the globe. The Russian team emerged as winners and took home 500,000 USD winning a prize.

The is enough to tell how much PUBG has ignited the spark for gaming and esports in a country where gaming had only been seen a leisure activity.
How to Become Better and Rise Through Ranks
If you are good at aiming for headshots, one should always go with AKM. If you are good with a sniper gun, then go for AWM gun with 8X zoom as it gives almost 100% damage in one shot. To protect your player from injuries from opponents, try to find high-level vests and helmets at the start of the game. Moving slowly would add great advantage when people are not able to hear your footsteps, and thus you can kill them with ease.
Choking points like standing on or at one side of a bridge and waiting for the enemy vehicle while play zone is getting shorter is a great strategy. Sneak close to your enemy while laying on ground if fighting you opponent in an open space gives an advantage. Equip your rifles with suppressors so that opponent should not come to know your exact location. Not to mention rifles and types of equipment coming in from Airdrop gives significant advantages but sometimes players are just waiting to poach you down if you happen to grab anything from drops.
At the end of the game when there is not more than 20 layers left, try to avoid going for the airdrop as much as you can. In PUBG your patience pays off, if you can see that a fight is going on between two or more players other than your tea, then just let it happen and then clear out the survivors.
Recently PUBG mobile lite version has been launched which smaller in size and runs on more devices, but what makes it stand apart is that no compromise has been done with the performance and amazing experience of the game. Smaller map areas are available in this game with a total of 60 players at max in a match.

Never Forget to Check Your Firing Mode
Just about every gun you pick up will have more than one firing mode--usually, single-shot and automatic. This is something you want to keep an eye on, and it’s easy to forget about. Even assault rifles default to single-shot when you pick them up, and if you forget to change it, you might be wondering why you can’t seem to get bullets to come out of your rifle as someone charges you.
Make sure you know before you switch off a gun or stow your weapons what firing mode you left it on (and generally, switch everything to automatic before you put it away). When you pull out a gun in the heat of the moment, you want it to act exactly as you expect--there are plenty of times when players die thinking they were about to spray an enemy with the lead but only wind up firing one shot because they forgot to reset their firing mode.
