PUBG Mobile 90 FPS: How to Enable It and What It Needs

PUBG Mobile 90 fps is an option in the game's graphics settings, in the Frame Rate row, one step above Extreme. Not every phone shows it. The game opens it device by device, the screen must refresh at 90 Hz or more, and the option is tied to the graphics quality, usually Smooth. When those three line up, turning it on takes a few taps. When they do not, no app or file can add it safely.

How to enable 90 fps in PUBG Mobile

1. Open Settings in the game, then the graphics tab. It is named Graphics, or Graphics & Audio in some versions.
2. In the Graphics row, choose Smooth.
3. In the Frame Rate row, scroll to the end. The options run from Low up to Extreme, which is 60 fps. On devices that support them, the 90 fps and 120 fps options come after Extreme.
4. Select the option, leave Settings, and try it in the Training Ground before a ranked match.

Two things outside the game matter as well. In the phone's display settings, the refresh rate must be on 90 Hz, 120 Hz or the high option, not on 60 Hz. And battery saver should be off, because on many phones it holds the screen at 60 Hz.

On iPhone and iPad the steps in the game are the same. Low Power Mode limits a 120 Hz ProMotion screen to 60 Hz, so switch it off before you play.

PUBG Mobile 90 fps phones: why no list stays correct

A search for a "PUBG Mobile 90 fps supported devices list" returns many lists, and most of them are out of date. The game itself decides the highest frame rate for each device, and it adds devices through its updates. Two phones of similar power can show different options, because one is supported and the other has not been added yet.

What a phone needs is always the same:

• A processor strong enough to draw 90 images every second for a whole match.
• A screen of 90 Hz or more. A 60 Hz screen shows 60 images a second, whatever the game sends to it.
• Support from the game for that exact model.

If you are choosing a phone for the game, ask someone who owns that exact model what the Frame Rate row shows.

The 90 fps option is missing: what to check

Go through these in order:

• Graphics quality. The highest frame rates are tied to Smooth first. On most phones they disappear when you raise the quality to HD or above, and only stronger devices keep them. Set Smooth and look at the row again.
• The game's version. Update the game, because new devices are added with updates.
• Support. If the option is still not there, the game has not opened it for your phone. Stay on Extreme. A steady 60 fps does not stop anyone from reaching the highest ranks.

If you selected the option and nothing feels different, look at the screen. Its refresh rate is probably set to 60 Hz, or battery saver is on.

PUBG Mobile 120 fps: is it worth it?

The 120 fps option comes after 90 on devices that have both a strong processor and a 120 Hz screen. It is the smaller step of the two. At 60 fps the picture changes about every 17 milliseconds, at 90 fps about every 11, and at 120 fps about every 8. Most of the gain is already there at 90, while 120 costs more heat and battery.

Use the number your phone can hold. If it keeps 120 fps until the final circle, play on it. If the picture starts to stutter halfway through a match, go back to 90.

Heat and battery: how to hold a high frame rate

A higher frame rate makes the phone work harder, so it gets hotter and uses its battery faster. A phone that gets too hot lowers its own performance to protect itself. That is when the frame rate falls, often in the middle of a fight.

• Do not play while the phone is charging. Charging adds its own heat.
• Take off a thick case. It holds the heat in.
• Lower the screen brightness, and close background apps before you open the game.
• Turn off Shadows and Anti-aliasing in the graphics settings.
• Play in a cool place, and let the phone rest between matches when its back feels hot.

If the frame rate drops after one or two matches, your phone cannot hold that option for long. Go one step down and stay there.

Why 90 fps apps and config files are a ban risk

Apps known as GFX tools, and config files shared in videos, promise 90 fps on any phone. They all do the same thing: they edit the game's files so that the game takes your phone for a different device. That breaks PUBG Mobile's rules, and the penalty can be a ban on the account, with every rank, skin and UC on it.

They also do not solve the real problem. A phone the game has not opened 90 fps for will rarely hold it. It heats up, and the frame rate falls in the middle of a match.

Frequent questions

Does 90 fps make you play better?

It makes the game smoother. A close enemy is easier to follow, and the picture stays sharp when you turn fast. It does not change a gun's recoil or its damage. A player who knows where to stand at 60 fps still beats a careless one at 90.

Do I need new sensitivity settings after switching to 90 fps?

The sliders stay the same, but the same numbers feel different at a new frame rate. Test your sprays again in the Training Ground. Our guide to PUBG Mobile sensitivity settings shows how.

Does 90 fps raise ping or use more data?

No. Frames are drawn by your phone, and ping depends on the connection between you and the game's server.

The frame rate is free, UC is for the rest

Nothing above costs anything: one option in the settings and a phone you keep cool. The Royale Pass, outfits and gun skins are what need UC. PUBG Mobile UC on Mas4Games is available as Top-up by ID for global accounts or as global UC codes. For a top-up by ID the store asks only for your player ID, never your password.
