PUBG Mobile Guest Account: Link It Before You Lose It

A PUBG Mobile guest account is tied to the device you created it on. Lose the phone, reset it or wipe the game's data, and the account can be gone with everything on it. The fix takes a minute: link the guest account to a sign-in method in the game's settings, and your level, skins and UC follow you to any device.

What a PUBG Mobile guest account is

On the login screen the game offers several ways in, and one of them is Guest. Tap it and you are playing, with no email and no social account.

A guest account is a full account. It has a player ID, a nickname, a rank and an inventory, and it can receive UC like any other. The only difference is the key. A linked account opens on any device with its login. A guest account has no login at all: the phone itself is the key.

That is why a guest account disappears in very ordinary situations: a new phone, a factory reset, or a phone that comes back wiped from repair.

How to link a guest account in PUBG Mobile

1. Open the game on the phone that holds the guest account.
2. Open Settings and go to the account section, where the available sign-in methods are listed.
3. Pick the method you want and tap the link button next to it.
4. Sign in to that method, or enter the verification code you receive, and confirm.
5. Go back to the same section and check that the method now shows as linked.

Nothing changes inside the game after linking. Your player ID, name, rank and inventory stay as they were. What changes is that you can now open the account from any phone, and from a PC, with the login you linked.

Link a login that has never been used in PUBG Mobile. A login that already holds an account in the game cannot take a second one, and the game will refuse the link.

Which login should you link?

• Email. The most stable choice if it is your main address. The verification code is sent there.
• Phone number. Quick and simple, as long as you keep the number. If you plan to change it, update the link first.
• Facebook or X. One tap to sign in, but your game account is then only as safe as that social account. Give it a strong password and two-step verification.
• Google or Apple. Which one you see depends on your phone's system.

Do not stop at one. Link two methods, for example a social login plus an email, so that losing one does not lock you out.

UC on a guest account: where a top-up goes

A top-up by ID sends UC to the account behind the player ID, whether that account is a guest account or linked to anything. The sign-in method does not matter here, because UC is stored on the account itself.

But everything on a guest account is only as safe as the phone. If the account is lost, its UC and skins are lost with it. So the right order is simple: link first, then top up.

Our guide on how to top up PUBG Mobile UC shows where to find your player ID and how the top-up works.

If your guest account is not showing up

• On the same phone. Open the game and choose Guest again. If the device's data is intact, the same account may open.
• On another phone, or after a reset. Only the game's official customer service can help. Use the Customer Service button in the game's settings and write one request with your player ID, the approximate date you created the account, your phone model and any top-up receipts.

The decision belongs to support, and nothing is certain. The full list of proof is in our guide on how to recover a PUBG Mobile account.

How to delete a PUBG Mobile account

Most players who search for this only want a fresh start, and that needs no deletion. Link the old account first in case you ever want it back, then log out and sign in with a login never used in the game. A new account begins, and the old one stays as it is.

Real deletion happens inside the game. The settings hold a Delete Account option, and you request it while signed in to the account you want to remove. It is not immediate: the game sets a waiting period before the deletion becomes final, and the confirmation screen tells you how long it is and how to cancel within it. Read that screen before you confirm.

When the waiting period ends, everything goes: the ID, the rank, the skins and the UC. Support cannot bring it back, so ask for deletion only when you are sure. If you cannot find the option in your version, ask customer service from the same settings.

Clearing the game's data or uninstalling the app does not delete an account. The account stays on the game's servers. What you lose, with a guest account, is your way into it.

Frequent questions

Can I link a guest account from PUBG Mobile to PC, Steam or PS5?

PUBG Mobile is a separate game from PUBG on PC and consoles, so there is nothing to link on Steam or PlayStation. To play your mobile account on a computer, link it on the phone first. Then sign in with the same login in GameLoop, Tencent's official emulator.

Does linking change my player ID?

No. The ID is fixed when the account is created. Linking does not change it, and neither does a new nickname.

Can I change or remove a linked login later?

The game may allow it from the same linking section, as long as another sign-in method stays on the account. Add the new method first, then remove the old one. If the option does not appear, ask the game's customer service.

Link first, then top up

Once the account is linked to your own details, what you load on it stays with you whatever happens to the phone. On Mas4Games, PUBG Mobile UC is loaded by player ID for global accounts, or you can buy a UC code and redeem it yourself. The store asks only for your player ID, never for a password or the details of a linked login.
