How to Play PUBG Mobile on PC: GameLoop Setup Guide 2026

Your mid-range Android phone runs PUBG Mobile, but you want a bigger screen and mouse aim without buying a gaming phone. A shared home PC or gaming-cafe rig might help—but only if its hardware is suitable.

This 2026 guide to how to play PUBG Mobile on PC GameLoop covers requirements, installation, controls and the matchmaking trade-off. Check the specs before downloading: a computer is not automatically stronger than your phone.

What is GameLoop, and why use it?

GameLoop is a free Android emulator and the rebranded, upgraded Tencent Gaming Buddy. It lets you play mobile games on a PC. You are running PUBG MOBILE, not switching to PUBG: Battlegrounds.

The official GameLoop PUBG MOBILE page calls it “the official PUBG MOBILE emulator” and describes it as tailor-made for optimized gameplay. That makes it the straightforward starting point for this setup, rather than a random emulator installer.

Its listed benefits include mouse-and-keyboard aiming, customizable bindings and a larger screen. Playing on the PC also avoids putting that session’s battery drain, heat and storage pressure on your phone. Those benefits are useful, but the optimization claim is not a promise of identical performance on every computer.

Check the PC requirements before downloading

These are the requirements published on GameLoop’s PUBG MOBILE page. Check the processor and graphics card as well as RAM. A laptop with enough memory can still fall short elsewhere.

An 8GB shared-family laptop meets the listed memory minimum, not necessarily the complete minimum specification. For your Dhaka or Chattogram home setup, compare every row instead of assuming that a bigger device must run the game better.

Before launching, save other people’s work and close unnecessary background apps. On a shared PC, leaving everything open gives the emulator less room to work. Also treat the listed storage figure as a published requirement—not a verified installer download size or a guarantee about future storage needs.

Download and install PUBG MOBILE through GameLoop

Download from gameloop.com only. The official installation flow is short. Avoid third-party “modded” installers, especially anything promising hidden emulator status or special advantages.

1. Visit the official GameLoop download site, download GameLoop and install it on your PC.
2. Launch GameLoop and search for PUBG MOBILE in the game center.
3. Select PUBG MOBILE and click Install.
4. Once installation is complete, click Play.

Use the PUBG MOBILE listing rather than assuming that every similarly named game is interchangeable. If you are using a gaming-cafe or shared computer, agree on installing the software with whoever manages it before starting.

You do not need a modified package to follow these steps. Keep the setup simple: use the official installer and do not use cheats. This guide makes no promises about ban policies or unofficial workarounds.

Set up your mouse and keyboard first

Start with GameLoop’s default Smart Keymapping, then customize the key bindings around what feels comfortable. Mouse-and-keyboard controls are a major reason to play here, but familiar mobile movements will not instantly become familiar keyboard actions.

Think of your bindings as the PC equivalent of a mobile HUD layout. Check the actions you use most, adjust awkward keys and get comfortable before jumping into a serious squad session. Copying someone else’s bindings is only a starting point.

Claw-layout habits do not transfer directly from a touchscreen. Our PUBG Mobile four-finger claw controls guide covers the mobile HUD counterpart; on GameLoop, the same planning mindset means putting important actions within comfortable reach.

GameLoop also lists screen recording, multi-instance and a game booster among its features. They are extras, not mandatory installation steps. For a budget PC, start with the game itself rather than trying every feature during your first session.

Keep performance settings realistic on a low-end PC

Try GameLoop’s game booster, lower the in-game graphics preset and reduce resolution if performance feels rough. A bigger monitor does not mean you should immediately choose the most demanding visual settings.

Change settings individually so you can judge what actually helps. Aim for comfortable, consistent play rather than making the image as sharp as possible. There is no honest universal performance figure for every shared laptop or cafe rig.

If the PC is weaker than your phone, the emulator cannot erase that hardware gap. Our PUBG Mobile lag-fix guide offers useful performance-tuning habits, but treat it as a mindset reference rather than assuming every mobile adjustment applies directly to Windows.

Understand emulator matchmaking before inviting friends

Community-documented behavior puts squads containing an emulator player into a separate matchmaking pool with other emulator teams. That means teams containing emulator users, not necessarily teams made entirely of PC players. This is community documentation, not an official Krafton specification.

If you searched for “PUBG Mobile on PC without emulator detected,” this guide does not offer a detection bypass. Plan around the emulator pool instead. Custom rooms are the classic workaround for arranging mixed friend lobbies, rather than relying on ordinary matchmaking to put specific friends together.

India uses a different game version

Do not apply this global PUBG MOBILE walkthrough directly to BGMI. As the Battlegrounds Mobile India overview explains, BGMI is the version available in India, by Krafton. GameLoop’s official listing here is global PUBG MOBILE; Indian players need a BGMI-specific route.

Accounts and UC for Bangladesh players

GameLoop is free, just like PUBG Mobile. Your PUBG Mobile account works on the emulator because you are still playing the same com.tencent.ig game. Moving to a PC is a change of device and controls, not a separate PUBG account system.

If you buy UC for skins or season passes, our Bangladesh PUBG UC top-up guide using bKash covers the same route regardless of where you play. First get installation, bindings and performance comfortable; spending on cosmetics will not fix an underpowered setup.
