PUBG Lite Beta announced for low-end PCs, but it isn't playable in India yet
PUBG Lite Beta is currently playable only in Thailand but should see a global release soon.

Have you been dying to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on your PC but just don't have enough firepower in your system to run the game? Your wish may be granted soon.PUBG Corp. is testing out a lighter version of the game that is meant to run on systems that don’t have hardware meeting the main game’s minimum or recommended specifications.[caption id="attachment_5982391" align="alignnone" width="1280"]

PUBG Corp. announced the test this week, saying that PUBG Lite is essentially for “players in areas where the core game’s required specifications are more difficult to achieve due to the hardware available.” There hasn't been an official mention yet, but this statement could suggest that it won't be long before PUBG Lite for PC makes its way to India.As of now, PUBG Lite will feature only the game's original Erangel map for now with Solo, Duo and Squad modes available. But PUBG Corp. does have a dedicated team appointed to look into further developments including exclusive maps and quality of life features.What would sound even more enticing for PUBG fans is that PUBG Lite will be free-to-play, as opposed to the original game on Steam which one has to buy.[caption id="attachment_5982461" align="alignnone" width="848"]
Required specs for PUBG Lite.
