PUBG Corporation announced that they are testing a new version of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds which is simply titled, PUBG Lite. This new edition will have reduced hardware requirements and will be completely free to anyone who wishes to play it.
The system requirements for PUBG Lite are as follows:
Minimum System Requirements
Windows 7/8/10, 64-bit
Intel Core i3 2.4 GHz
4GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4000
4GB Hard Disk space
Recommended
Windows 7/8/10, 64-bit
Intel Core i5 2.8 GHz
8GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870
4GB Hard Disk space
The game is set to be a standalone game with its own dedicated development team. It will also have its own content stream that is separate from the main game. The game will support solo, dup, and squad play. In the beta, players will be able to play in Erangel, the original map from PUBG. This is only to start out as they plan to add additional maps as testing continues.
For those living in the United States looking to get their hands on the beta; however, you are out of luck. Testing of the Lite version is only being done in Thailand right now and if the team feels the testing is going smoothly, they will roll out the beta to other regions.
