PUBG: Battlegrounds
About PUBG: Battlegrounds
PUBG: Battlegrounds is widely credited as the game that kickstarted the modern battle royale genre. Up to 100 players parachute onto maps like Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok, looting weapons as a shrinking safe zone forces them into ever-tighter confrontations until only one player or team remains. Compared to many battle royale games that followed, PUBG emphasizes more realistic ballistics, vehicle physics, and a slower, more tactical pace. Its explosive popularity on PC in 2017 helped inspire the wave of battle royale games that followed, including Fortnite and Apex Legends.

How can I get more FPS in PUBG: Battlegrounds?
In fast competitive shooters like this, favour frame rate over looks: use low shadow and effects quality, keep textures moderate, and cap FPS slightly below your monitor's refresh rate for steadier frame times. PUBG: Battlegrounds recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
