How to Play PUBG on PC With an Emulator

Most of you might already know that you can download PUBG mobile on a PC or laptop. If you didn’t well, you can – with an Android emulator. There are many Android emulators available but we don’t recommend playing PUBG mobile on PC. Tencent launched the official PUBG emulator which was known as Tencent Gaming Buddy.

It is now known as the Gameloop PUBG Mobile emulator which you need to download first. What you have to do next is follow these steps:

1. After downloading the .exe file, install it on your PC or laptop.
2. Once installed, run the emulator. Before you proceed to launch the game, you first need to change the language to English since it boots up in Chinese. (Unless you understand or are comfortable with Chinese obviously.)
3. In order to change the language, Press Windows Key + R and type Regedit on the box that appears. Next, click on OK and proceed to click on Yes on the pop-up menu.
4. In the Registry Editor that opens up, double-click on UserLanguage under MobileGamePC (located in the sub-menu on the left).
5. Enter en_US in value data and click OK.
6. Restart the emulator and that does it!
7. After you open the emulator, search for PUBG Mobile on the search bar. Download and install the game.
8. It will appear in My games section of the emulator. Simply click on it to start playing PUBG on PC or laptop.

That’s how you can start playing the game using an emulator. However, it’s simply a larger version of the PUBG mobile with lower graphics and possibly high ping.
