PUBG Mobile Lite vs Free Fire: Which game runs better on 2GB and 3GB RAM Android devices?

PUBG Mobile Lite and Garena Free Fire are not new to the battle royale genre, as both games have made a name for themselves. Due to their distinguishable features, both games cater to different audiences with specific preferences and likings.

Free Fire has cartoonish graphics with fun-based gameplay, special character skills, and many other unique features. PUBG Mobile Lite, on the other hand, has a pretty realistic tone with better gun mechanics and other in-game optimizations than Free Fire.

However, both games have one fundamental similarity, which is compatibility on low-end Android devices.

Both Free Fire and PUBG Mobile Lite have comparable download sizes, but the former has received updates, optimizations, and additions more consistently and frequently. Therefore, the game has also become heavier over time.

On the other hand, PUBG Mobile Lite has also received consistent updates, but players have not received many additions. Therefore, the game requires fewer additional space in terms of maps and in-game items compared to Free Fire's larger resource packs.

Although both games perform efficiently on devices with 2 GB or 3 GB RAM, if players download additional files of Free Fire, it can cause some stutters. Moreover, higher graphic settings can also cause some lag in both games.
