PlayerUnknown\u2019s BattleGrounds Mobile<\/span><\/a> is an intense online multiplayer shooting game that rivals the likes of <\/span>Call of Duty Mobile<\/span><\/a>. While many gamers have become accustomed to taking enemies down on their smartphone screens, some still prefer using a controller to deal hardcore damage. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re of the latter type, here\u2019s a quick guide on <\/span>how to play PUBG Mobile with a controller<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Play PUBG Mobile with a Controller<\/b><\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, PUBG Mobile doesn\u2019t have controller support for Android or iOS as yet. It doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s the end of the world, though. You can still use a mobile emulator to play the online shooter game on your computer, as long as you remember that it will match you against other emulator players.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: Install an emulator<\/b><\/h3>\n

Firstly, you\u2019ll need to install an emulator on your computer. You can use an Android emulator like Bluestacks on <\/span>Windows<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Mac<\/span><\/a>. If you\u2019re looking for an excellent <\/span>iOS emulator for PC<\/span><\/a>, you should give Smartface a try.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 2: Install the game<\/b><\/h3>\n

Now that you have your emulator installed, it\u2019s time to find and install PUBG Mobile. You can search for it in <\/span>Google Play<\/span><\/a> Store or <\/span>Apple Store<\/span><\/a> as you would on your mobile device in the emulator\u2019s main lobby. You may need to wait for a few minutes for the installation to complete, depending on your internet speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 3: Configure the controller<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once PUBG Mobile is installed, you still have one more task before you can start gaming. You\u2019ll need to install a driver for your controller. The PlayStation control generally installs one when you plug it into your PC, while Windows comes with a pre-installed Xbox control driver. When it\u2019s connected, you\u2019ll need to go into the game\u2019s settings and configure the buttons.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The victory lies in your hands, soldier<\/b><\/h2>\n

Now that you have a controller back in your hands, you can take on your opponents with improved finger dexterity. Of course, other players may be using the same tactic, so be careful. Many gamers aren\u2019t used to playing on the touch-screen, so you might have a better advantage there. For us here at Softonic, we prefer the latter.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
