Ever wondered about ways to play PUBG Mobile on your PC or laptop? Yes, you read it right. This year, PUBG has been a fairly household name in the gaming world, and for good reasons. And the good news is it’s a multi-platform game. Meaning, its reach is not limited to one particular platform. In fact, the game is available on desktop, console and mobile. Ever since Tencent Games made PUBG possible on mobile phones, its craze has been through the roof.

In case you have played PUBG on both PC as well as mobile phone, you would have noticed some obvious differences in terms of their gameplay, features, weapons and the overall experience. That’s mainly because not everything is best suited for every screen size and user experience. For example, PUBG experience on PC and console has to be different from the one on a mobile phone given the limitations in terms of how we interact with a phone’s touchscreen.

But if you want to play PUBG Mobile on PC, that’s still possible. In this article, we guide you through different ways to play PUBG Mobile on a desktop computer.

Other mobile emulators

Unlike Tencent’s Mobile Buddy, there are certain other mobile emulators to let you play PUBG Mobile on PC. However, there are some major, obvious differences you have got to think about. In the event that you are taking Android emulators like Bluestack into consideration, do remember that it can emulate any Android app on a desktop. When that happens, PUBG Mobile loses its exclusivity.

What it means is that the emulator’s functioning is taken into consideration based on all the mobile games out there and not just PUBG Mobile. Whereas on Gaming Buddy, features are designed and optimised exclusively with a focus on PUBG Mobile.
