Key takeaways
- Renamed to PUBG Mobile Flash; revealed in August and opened pre-registration
- Expected public release in November

- Estimated install size: ~1 GB on Android, ~2 GB on iOS
PUBG Mobile Light has been officially renamed PUBG Mobile Flash, the team announced after revealing the new version in August and opening pre-registration ahead of an expected November release. The change keeps the launch window intact while swapping the product name before public release.
Developed by Lightspeed Studios with Krafton and Level Infinite on board, PUBG Mobile Flash is built for lower-spec devices and intends to keep the core PUBG Mobile gameplay. A short video on PUBG Mobile's YouTube channel says, "Everything you’ve been waiting for stays the same. Just a new name." The team also describes Flash as "faster to get into," while promising updates alongside the main game.
To cut down hardware strain, Flash will let players download only the assets they need for play; pre-release imagery shows map file sizes in megabytes, with Rondo at 465 MB and Miramar at 331 MB. Estimated total install size sits at roughly 1 GB on Android and about 2 GB on iOS. Some graphical detail will be reduced to widen device compatibility, and cross-play will be available between PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Flash. Players choosing to move to Flash after launch can transfer existing items, outfits and cosmetics.
Why it matters
If you already have cosmetics in PUBG Mobile, you can bring them into Flash after release while saving device space—Android installs target around 1 GB and iOS around 2 GB, based on the pre-release figures provided.
