The free-to-play, low-spec version of PUBG, PUBG Lite, will close down at the end of the month.
Originally known as PUBG Project Thai, PUBG Lite is a low-spec version of PUBG that allows players with basic PCs and laptops to access the game. It was first trialled in Thailand, before rolling out to other territories a couple of years back.
Now, however, the free-to-play game is being shut down on 29th April. No reason was given for the decision.
