PUBG Mobile 90 FPS is available on most flagship and upper mid-range phones with a 90 Hz or faster screen, on every iPhone and iPad with a 120 Hz ProMotion screen, and on every phone that supports 120 FPS. There is no single official list: PUBG MOBILE names devices in some patch notes and otherwise says "90/120 FPS is now available for more devices", so the Frame Rate menu on your phone is the final check.
Updated 6 November 2026: checked against the official patch notes up to Version 4.6 (no frame-rate changes) and the V4.7 beta notes. Version 4.7 is due on 12 November.

iPhone: which models can show 90 FPS
An iPhone needs a ProMotion (120 Hz) screen to show more than 60 frames. That means the Pro models from iPhone 13 Pro to 16 Pro Max, and all of the iPhone 17 family including the base iPhone 17 and iPhone Air. The iPhone 13, 14, 15 and 16 (base and Plus), the 16e and the iPhone 12 Pro have 60 Hz screens, so they stay at 60 FPS even if a 90 FPS row appears. Since Version 4.4, every 120 Hz iOS device can also use 120 FPS.
Graphics preset vs frame rate
Graphics preset | Highest frame rate (select devices) |
|---|
Smooth | 90 or 120 FPS |
Balanced, HD, HDR | 90 FPS |
Ultra HDR | 60 FPS |
Version 4.1 (November 2025) first made 90 FPS selectable with Balanced, HD and HDR graphics on select devices, and Version 4.2 (January 2026) confirmed the HD/HDR 90 and Ultra HDR 60 caps. On older or weaker phones, 90 FPS may still appear only with Smooth. If the 90 FPS row disappears after you raise the graphics, lower the preset.
Hardware you need
PUBG MOBILE has not published a minimum chipset for 90 FPS. What matters in practice:
Screen: 90 Hz or faster, set to its highest refresh rate in system settings. A 60 Hz screen cannot show 90 frames.
Chip: the phones named in patch notes include models as old as the Sony Xperia 5 and Galaxy S21 Ultra (Snapdragon), so a recent flagship chip is not required.
Model approval: the game enables 90 FPS per device, so two phones with the same chip can differ.
How to enable 90 FPS in PUBG Mobile
Update PUBG Mobile to the latest version.
Set the phone's screen to 90 Hz or 120 Hz (Android: Display → Refresh rate / Motion smoothness).
In the lobby open Settings → Graphics & Audio.
Set Graphics to Smooth (or Balanced / HD / HDR if your device allows 90 with them).
Under Frame Rate, pick the 90 FPS row (often called Extreme+). Extreme is 60 FPS.
Restart the game.
iOS
Check that Settings → Accessibility → Motion → Limit Frame Rate is off; when it is on, iOS caps the screen at 60 Hz. Low Power Mode can also limit the frame rate.
Android
Turn off battery saver and set the phone's game mode (Samsung Game Booster, Xiaomi Game Turbo, OnePlus Games) to a performance profile for PUBG Mobile, so it does not limit the frame rate.
Settings that hold 90
Setting | Value |
|---|
Graphics | Smooth (or HD/HDR if 90 stays available) |
Frame Rate | 90 FPS / Extreme+ |
Anti-aliasing | Off |
Shadows | Off |
Auto-adjust graphics | Off |
Turn on the in-game FPS display, then play a match in a busy area. If 90 drops in big fights, lower graphics or anti-aliasing before anything else.
90 FPS option missing or greyed out
The game is not updated: device support is added with updates.
The graphics preset is too high (Ultra HDR caps at 60).
The phone's refresh rate is set to 60 Hz or a battery-saving mode.
Your model is not enabled yet, even if a similar phone has it.
BGMI and the global PUBG Mobile are different clients and can differ.
Do not use GFX tools or edited config files to force 90 FPS. They modify game files and can get the account banned.
Frame drops after it unlocks
Close background apps, turn off anti-aliasing and shadows, keep the phone cool (no case, no charging while playing) and keep the system and game updated.
Battery and heat
90 FPS renders 50% more frames than 60 FPS, so it uses more battery and makes the phone warmer. PUBG MOBILE does not publish battery figures; expect shorter sessions than at 60 FPS and plan to charge between matches rather than during them.
60 FPS vs 90 FPS vs 120 FPS
At 60 FPS a new frame arrives every 16.7 ms, at 90 FPS every 11.1 ms, and at 120 FPS every 8.3 ms. The jump from 60 to 90 is the most noticeable; 90 to 120 is a smaller step. A steady 90 FPS feels better than a 120 that keeps dropping.

BGMI 90 FPS supported devices
BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) uses the same Frame Rate menu but has its own updates and device approvals. Krafton India has not published a full 90 FPS list, and Indian sites' lists disagree. Indian outlets have even reported phones losing 90 FPS after a BGMI update (for example the POCO F6 in BGMI 3.5). Check Settings → Graphics in your BGMI client after each update; phones that support 120 FPS also offer 90.
FAQ
Which phones support 90 FPS in PUBG Mobile in 2026?
All iPhones and iPads with a 120 Hz screen (iPhone 13 Pro and later Pro models, every iPhone 17 model, iPhone Air, iPad Pro), every phone that supports 120 FPS, and the phones named in the patch notes, such as OnePlus 8 to 11, Xiaomi 13, POCO F5 Pro, Galaxy S22 Ultra (Snapdragon) and Z Fold4/5. Check the Frame Rate menu on yours.
How do I enable 90 FPS in PUBG Mobile?
Update the game, set your screen to 90 Hz or higher, then Settings → Graphics & Audio → Graphics: Smooth → Frame Rate: 90 FPS (Extreme+), and restart.
Why is the 90 FPS option not showing?
The game is out of date, the graphics preset is too high, the screen is set to 60 Hz, or your model has not been enabled yet.
Does the base iPhone 15 or 16 support 90 FPS?
No. Their screens run at 60 Hz, so they cannot show 90 frames. The base iPhone 17 is the first non-Pro iPhone with a 120 Hz screen.
Does 90 FPS drain battery faster?
Yes. It renders 50% more frames than 60 FPS, so the phone uses more power and gets warmer.
Is 90 FPS worth it for ranked?
Yes, if your phone holds it steadily. Each frame arrives 5.6 ms sooner than at 60 FPS, which makes tracking and recoil control smoother.
Conclusion
90 FPS in PUBG Mobile works on 120 Hz iPhones and iPads, on all 120 FPS-capable phones, and on many older flagships named in patch notes. Set the screen to 90 Hz or higher, choose Smooth, then the 90 FPS row. If you need UC for the Royale Pass, you can top up PUBG Mobile UC on BitTopup with your Player ID.
