Why is PUBG Mobile broken on Mobile (iOS/Android)? (Severe overheating and thermal throttling in long sessions)
Frame rate drops noticeably 15–20 minutes into a session, with the phone visibly hot, especially in hot weather or with a case on. Sustained high graphics settings combined with network radio usage generate significant heat, and many phones throttle GPU clock speed once a temperature threshold is hit. Fix: Lower graphics quality and frame rate cap in settings rather than relying on "Smooth" auto-adjust, which reacts after throttling has already started.
