New support is knocking on the doors of a few Samsung Galaxy flagship smartphones, as PUBG is getting 120 fps support on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Transparently, smartphone GPUs have become extensively powerful over the past couple of years, but the fact that can’t be denied is that a lot of that power goes to waste when it comes to mobile games. Plus, game developers also don’t take advantage of features such as high refresh rate displays.
Almost all smartphone manufacturers are offering a refresh rate of 120 Hz these days, but the catch is that there are only countably many games that support running at that frame rate, and PUBG, one of the most famous mobile games of all time, is one such example. It came into existence six years ago, in March 2017, and yet it is limited to a 90 fps frame rate.
Now finally, it appears that PUBG players who own a recent flagship Galaxy phone, including the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy Z Fold 5, will soon be able to battle it out at a smooth 120 fps. PUBG is close to getting a new update on May 13 that will introduce a 120 fps mode, and the Korean giant, through a post on X, has already confirmed that the Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy S23 series, and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be among the list of devices that will support that mode.
Samsung also stated that it has worked with Tencent, the game’s developer, on optimizing performance on these devices. The optimizations will be counted in the latest version of the Game Optimization Service (GOS), and the Game Booster application comes pre-installed on Galaxy devices.
Samsung has not revealed enough details regarding this report yet, but it will be interesting to see whether the brand will offer this 120 fps support to the rest of the flagship Galaxy smartphones or not.
