We’re just a few days away from the official launch of PUBG Lite, the PC version of the popular mobile game in India. The company has teased 4 July as the date, when PUBG Lite Beta service can be downloaded by gamers in India and will get support for additional Hindi language option as well.
Localising games in a market like India is essential, so offering Hindi from the launch day of the beta service itself is a smart move.
The game was first spotted few weeks back, when the company accidentally rolled out setup file of the game, which you could download but not play at the time of the writing.
We came across this post on the PUBG Lite Facebook page which confirmed the launch date of the beta service.
PUBG Corporation is pleased to announce that PUBG LITE will be expanding its Beta Test service to South Asia on July 4. The game will be available in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.PUBG Statement
The website also says that after users pre-register for the PUBG Lite India event, they will get a chance to use one of these event rewards, which will be delivered through email on 11 July. This is what your PC will need to support for PUBG Lite to work effectively.
Developers have previously confirmed that the Lite version of the game is as good as the Steam version and has been launched to compete with rival battle royale PC game Fortnite.
Players using the PUBG Lite version will be able to participate in battles of up to 100 players in a battle royal format. The game will offer support for budget gaming rigs and will be available to play in Solo/Duo/Squad and in TPP (third person perspective) mode.
