Battle royale games are more popular than ever these days, and now many battle royale games are available to play on the go on one’s mobile device. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, also known as PUBG, is one such game. For people used to playing PUBG or similar games on PC or on consoles, one of the challenges of playing mobile is adapting to the controls the game offers by default on mobile devices. One thing that can help with this process of adaptation is changing the sensitivity settings. If the sensitivity settings that PUBG Mobile offers by default aren’t working for you, here is the way that you can change them so that you can be at the top of your game in every match.

Step 1: Get to the Settings Page
When you first log in to PUBG Mobile you’ll be greeted by the lobby screen with the yellow ‘START’ button in the bottom left corner where you can start your match. On the bottom right corner of the screen, opposite of the start button, you should see a small white arrow pointing upward. Press this button.
Select the settings tab in the sidebar menu
When you press this button a sidebar will come up on the right of the screen. This sidebar gives you a list of various different pages within the game that you can go to, like checking your mail or region. Select the option labeled ‘SETTINGS’. When you bring up the settings page, you will land on the first tab of it, which is account settings. On the right side of the screen there will be another sidebar with a list of other settings that you can adjust. The fifth tab down should be the sensitivity settings tab. Select this.

Step 2: Check the Presets
On the sensitivity settings tab you will be presented with several sliders allowing you to adjust your settings. At the top of the page you should see a list of tabs which are different presets you can use for your sensitivity settings. The default sensitivity settings are the medium settings. The other presets are low, high, most used, season expert and custom sensitivity settings. You can choose from the first 5 presets or choose the custom option in order to adjust the sensitivity settings to your liking.

Step 3: Adjust Sensitivity Settings
The sliders that you will be presented with on the sensitivity settings page allow you to adjust your settings for first person and third person perspective. They also allow you to adjust the sensitivity settings for red dot and holographic sights, as well as the 2x, 3x and 4x scope sensitivity. If you use the gyroscope, there’s a tab you can press for adjusting those sensitivity settings as well.
Different people may prefer different sensitivity settings. Personally, I prefer sensitivity settings that are a bit higher than the default, but your mileage may vary with that. I recommend playing with different sensitivity settings and testing them in matches to determine what the best settings for you are. Change your sensitivity settings to what works for you so that you can bring your A game to your future matches!
