PUBG System Requirements: Min & Recommended

Can your PC run PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds? The answer is reassuring: PUBG has surprisingly modest system requirements, at least for minimum performance. But if you’re aiming for smooth 60 fps play or higher, you’ll need a more capable setup. Here’s what you really need to know, from the updated minimum specs to real-world hardware recommendations.

Minimum System Requirements (Updated)

Developer PUBG Corp. has raised the bar from earlier minimums. The old spec called for a dual-core Core i3-4340, 6 GB of RAM, and a GTX 660—a combination that often struggled to maintain even 30 fps. The new minimum is more realistic:

• OS: 64-bit Windows 7, 8.1, or 10
• CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 / AMD FX-6300
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB / AMD Radeon R7 370 2GB
• DirectX: Version 11
• Network: Broadband Internet
• Storage: 30 GB free space

While these specs will let the game run, don’t expect a great experience at minimum settings. For a playable framerate you’ll likely need to drop resolution or detail.

Recommended Hardware for 60 fps and Beyond

PUBG Corp. suggests a more robust setup for a proper experience:

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / Intel Core i5-7600K
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or better

Windows 10 is strongly advised for better performance and ongoing updates, though Windows 7 and 8.1 will still work.
