PUBG Mobile FLASH arrives November 13: lighter downloads and your existing account
FLASH is a separate app in the global PUBG MOBILE world, with Erangel pre-installed and other maps and modes downloaded as needed.
PUBG MOBILE’s global account says the separate FLASH app arrives on November 13, following the standard game’s Version 4.7 update on November 12. The publisher describes both apps as part of one PUBG MOBILE world. App Store listings in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines also show an expected November 13 date; an exact launch hour has not been announced.
FLASH is designed to reduce what must be downloaded before playing. The developer’s App Store listing says Erangel is pre-installed, so the first match needs no additional map download; other maps and modes can be added when needed. The actual size depends on the device, store and optional content, and a lighter installation does not guarantee a higher frame rate.
The app was first announced as PUBG MOBILE LIGHT and later renamed FLASH. The developer says existing LIGHT pre-registrations carry over automatically. Its original announcement says one PUBG MOBILE account can be used across both apps, with the same friends and owned items, and players using either app can squad up together.
PUBG Mobile community user YardMental9629 asked whether sensitivity and control settings also carry over. The announcements do not specifically confirm those settings, UC balances or Royale Pass progress. The final app has not launched, so beta experiences cannot establish the live account behaviour. Pre-registration is available through the official Google Play or App Store links; availability depends on the local store and device.
