How To Install Tencent Gaming Buddy To Play PUBG Mobile On PC?
Well, there are a variety of Android emulators available in the market, but you will get the best performance on TGB only. To download Tencent Gaming Buddy On PC, follow these steps: –
- Visit The Official Website
- Hit The Download Button
- Install The Package On Your PC
- Follow On-Screen Instructions
Step 1.) Visit the official Tencent Gaming Buddy Website; https://syzs.qq.com/en/
Step 2.) Click on the download button to save installer file on your PC. The size of the installer would be around 9 MB.
Step 3.) Once downloaded, head to the directory/location/folder where you save it. Double click the installer package and give the permission to Windows to install on your machine.
Step 4.) After it, you will see the game logo and install button. Hit the install button to start downloading Tencent Gaming Buddy On PC.
Tencent Gaming Buddy Total Download Size: –
Well, it did not mention the total size of the file. But we monitored the data usage; it consumed around 3GB of data. Total Size – Less Than 3 GB(Approx.).
Requirements
The official website does not have details on this topic. But I am going to show you my details; I played it on my Dell Laptop(8GB RAM, Direct X Version; 12, Intel HD Graphics 630/4GB, Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 1050 Graphics/4GB, Processor Speed – 2.8Ghz, Turbo Boost – Up to 3.7Ghz). It was running at 40-60FPS. Let me show you the usage: –
When running at 50-60 FPS, it was consuming 50%+ GPU, 17% of CPU(Total-2.8GHz). In short, it should work fine on a PC having up to 4GB of RAM, 4GB of Graphics Card, and processor speed should be around 1.8GHz. It may not work on a dual-core PC(at high settings, you can set it to low).
FPS – How Much FPS You Can Expect On Tencent Gaming Buddy?
It depends on your PC configuration. For me, it was rendering 50-60FPS most of the time. How to check FPS? Open the Tencent Gaming Buddy -> Play -> tap the menu button -> show FPS. Once enabled, it will show you FPS at the top-left corner.
Game Settings
You can change the default game settings(720p, auto-display) from the settings menu. Tap the menu -> settings -> game settings -> there you can change resolution from 720p to 1080p or Ultra HD 2K. And you can set the display on HD, auto, smooth, and balanced mode. Keep it low if you have a low-end PC.
Control Settings – Tencent Gaming Buddy Best Settings
Once you are all done; after installing and signing-in, it’s time to change mouse sensitivity. With default settings, it’s difficult to aim or look around. Go to the PUBG Mobile settings in Tencent Gaming Buddy -> sensitivity -> under the camera section -> change the sensitivity(that suits your game style);
- 3rd Person – No Scope, 2x Scope, 3x Scope, 6x Scope, red-dot, holographic, and aim-assist
- 1st Person – Same
Here’s my settings info that I am using in Tencent Gaming Buddy: – 
- 3rd Person No Scope – 42%
- 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, 8X – 4%
- Red-Dot, Holographic – 7%
Well, it actually depends on how you control the mouse. If you have good control over the mouse, then increase the sensitivity. How does it work? Basically, reducing the sensitivity makes the look around movement tight and increasing the sensitivity makes the look around movement light. If you are a rookie like me, then try my settings configuration.
I would recommend you to play the training mode before you start the match with teammates. In training mode, pick all the scopes and experiment with all the guns. This is the only way to choose the best settings.
Game Engine Settings: –
Tap the menu at the top right corner of the emulator’s window -> settings -> engine. For the best performance, set it to:-
- Rendering – Direct X+(High Stability, But high CPU Consumption)
- Enable the render cache
- Enable rendering optimizations(if you have selected Direct X+, OpenGL+)
- Set anti-aliasing to close or ultimate(On ultimate if you have high-end GPU)
- Set memory, the processor to auto
- DPI – 240
Save and Restart.
Signing-In Problem
Tencent Gaming Buddy does not support Google Play Log-In. You need to connect with Facebook or Twitter or play as a guest. But if you have already an account and it is connected with Google Play, then you will have to link the game to Facebook or Twitter first in order to play with that account on PC. And it’s easy. Open your mobile -> PUBG Mobile -> Settings -> Basic -> in the basic menu, at the top-right corner, tap the + icon to link with one more service. Once done, head to the Tencent Gaming Buddy and log in with Facebook or Twitter.

How To Change Key Shortcuts In Tencent Gaming Buddy?

Tencent Gaming Buddy Is Not Working?

How To Update TGB?
On the My Games Window(launch the emulator), tap the menu(three lines near minimize option) -> update -> if the update is available, the game will notify you. Hit the upgrade button to start. Note: – It will only update the Tencent Gaming Buddy, not PUBG Mobile.
- Tencent Gaming Buddy PUBG Mobile 0.11.0 Zombie Mode Update
The latest update to one of the hottest game has been released today for all mobile users. If you are an emulator user, you can read the manual PUBG installation guide by clicking here to get that update instantly. Or wait until they push the update to emulator user. You will get it by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
The main highlight of this update is the event mode; zombie mode. In this mode, you land on Erangel map and try to survive until last. You will have to face off two deadly nights in which deadly zombies will raid your squad. They spawn in huge numbers. If you head to the event section(even rewards), it will show you the missions that you can complete to get awesome rewards. The update has also added; moon weather/theme to Vikendi, Sanhok – Quick Match, and much more. The total update size on Android is 1.5GB – 2GB(Approx.). And, on iOS, it will consume over 2GB.
- Tencent Gaming Buddy PUBG Mobile 0.10.0 Vikendi Map Update
The snow map, known as Vikendi is now available to download in PUBG Mobile as well as TGB emulator. Its size is around 135 MB. It’s in beta as of now. At the time of writing this post, it’s unplayable as the launch time is tomorrow. There are many players reported that they have downgraded the graphics. But for me, it has improved a lot. In addition to the Vikendi map, you will also see dead zombies, their signs on the map. They are teasing the new Resident Evil 2 event. You will see an upgrade button when you launch the emulator. Also, see – Manual PUBG installation in TGB Emulator.

The latest update to the PUBG Mobile, version 0.9.0 in Tencent Gaming Buddy could live soon today or tomorrow. Like the previous time, it came after a day, you will have to wait until it shows the upgrade button on the launcher screen. But if you can not wait, you can manually install the PUBG 0.9.0 version in Tencent Gaming Buddy(Read this guide). I have already installed manually and it works flawlessly. It merely takes 5 minutes.
The highlight of this version is night mode. However, it comes randomly in Erangel map(like rainy mode in Snahok). And there are new items also. The update also added one more gun(QBU DMR), one more vehicle(Rony Pick Up Truck) to the sanhok map. Additionally, Halloween theme is also live. The game’s size is 1.5 GB(Without Miramar, Snahok map). You will need to download them; Miramar’s size – 329 MB. Sanhok – 83MB. Happy Halloween! We will keep updating this post with the latest information.

How to add yellow key buttom like this
It takes lot of time in loading when I start the game , even I have a good internet speed .
It is saying that graphics rendering I am having direct version 11 but then also It is saying that update your driver.
Please suggest me something regarding this problem
@Arpit Singh What Windows version are you using? I guess, On Windows 10, all the drivers get the update automatically. I am not sure about other versions. You can Google it.
I have been playing this game since very long, back then it was a very good game to play and it was enjoyable, but after more and more update it is getting worse and worse, so many glitches, lag and also there are so many hackers, last but not the least: the 180° glitch, if this glitch does not gets fixed in the coming update, i will quit PUBG Mobile and suggest others not to play as well. It’s not a game anymore, it’s a headache. Everytime i play i can’t enjoy the game anymore like before.

Hello everybody, if you are having the trouble with the right key, then you are not alone. Most of the players are getting this problem after the latest update. If you need help or want to report the error, you should visit the official TGB Google Group.
The default way they have given is: –
Go to PUBG settings and reset the controls.
Then go back to the Keyboard Mapping screen and check its resolution. The resolution should be the same that you have set in the settings(settings -> game -> 720p or 1080p. If you are still getting this problem, you may need to write the problem to devs. Thanks!

Also i can download other games in this emulator.

I am installing official tencent emulator, bit the login pages gives only 2 options, login with Google or Facebook.. While on mobile my pubg account is connected to twitter. Is emulator and pubg login same? Then how can I connect to emulator via twitter ??
@Ali there would be a more button on the login screen, tap there and check for twitter. Or simply open the game in mobile and link to FB and then open emulator and login with FB.
The Q and E is not working how can to fix this
Playing this on both phone and TCBG emulator is great. However… being told that my Facebook account has been suspended because i play on an emulator is B.S. Me i dont need high graphics to enjoy id rather have smooth play the high visuals. the amout of hacks that are available do make for some bad player and game play. As with any compatition game there are bound to be both good and bad players. over all its great to make friends and meet good players. Join a clan with active players though! #gamehoy
Better than any other emulators when considering gaming. But this still in Beta and Lagging and Buzzing is happening for some users only after gaming for an hour or some.
