PUBG matches are still fun — now they can be “worth” something, too

In 2025, mobile gaming isn’t only about entertainment. Reward apps have made it possible to earn points while you play and redeem them for real perks like PayPal cash or gift cards (availability depends on your country and offers).

That’s where Playtime comes in: it recommends games, tracks your playtime, and lets you redeem points for rewards.

If PUBG Mobile shows up in your Playtime catalog, it’s one of the best titles to pair with it—because matches are consistent, replayable, and easy to stack into daily sessions.

What you’re actually earning (and what you’re not)

Let’s be clear:

- PUBG Mobile does not pay you directly.

- Playtime is the rewards layer that pays out points based on your activity in supported games and tasks.

Think of it like “cashback for gaming time.” It’s not a salary—but it can turn your regular PUBG sessions into small, real-world rewards over time.

Quick setup: make sure your playtime counts

To earn through Playtime, tracking has to be active. The safest way to do it:

1. Install Playtime and create your account.

2. In Playtime, find PUBG Mobile.

3. Install/launch PUBG Mobile through Playtime so the app can track correctly.

4. Play normally—then check Playtime to confirm your minutes/points are updating.

Note: availability can vary by country, and Playtime may reward different games or tasks depending on your region.

Why PUBG Mobile is perfect for reward tracking

PUBG Mobile is built for repeatable sessions: drop in, loot up, rotate, fight, reset. That loop is why it’s remained huge years after launch (it first released on mobile in 2018).

It’s also one of the biggest mobile shooters ever by spending and installs. Sensor Tower data cited by VentureBeat reported $9B lifetime consumer spending and 1.1B installs (App Store + Google Play) by late 2022.

And the competitive scene is still massive: the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2025 ran from Nov 24 to Dec 14, 2025 in Bangkok with a $3M prize pool.

How to earn more without playing more hours

If rewards are tied to time and participation, your goal is simple: stay in matches longer and play more consistently.

Play smarter early game

- Land slightly off hot-drops to avoid dying in 30 seconds.

- Prioritize armor + a stable AR setup before chasing fights.

- Use cover and information (sound, peeks, third-person angles) instead of sprinting into open ground.

Don’t quit after a bad start

A “salvage match” still helps: rotate safely, play circle, and take smart fights. You’ll improve faster and your session lasts longer.

Choose modes that match your schedule

- Short on time? Play quick modes for steady sessions.

- Want longer runs? Classic matches naturally extend your playtime.

Redeeming rewards: what Playtime typically offers

According to its Google Play listing, Playtime lets you redeem points for PayPal cash and a variety of gift cards (examples listed include Amazon and other brands).

The exact reward options, rates, and availability depend on your region and current offers.

Common issues (and easy fixes)

- Tracking not updating: make sure PUBG was installed/launched via Playtime and that Playtime has the permissions it needs.

- Battery drain: lower PUBG graphics/FPS to reduce heat, and keep Playtime updated.

- Connection drops: PUBG is unforgiving with unstable internet—use Wi-Fi or a strong mobile signal to avoid wasted matches.

FAQ

Can I earn money from PUBG Mobile itself?

No. Earnings come from Playtime’s rewards system, not PUBG Mobile.

Do I have to do surveys?

Playtime’s listing emphasizes earning through playing games and completing simple tasks; it’s designed around gameplay-based rewards.

Is this a full-time income?

No—expect it to be a small bonus. Treat it like rewards for time you’d spend gaming anyway.

Bottom line

PUBG Mobile is still one of the best competitive shooters on mobile—and in 2025, pairing it with Playtime can make your sessions feel a little more rewarding outside the game too. If PUBG Mobile is available inside your Playtime offers, install it through Playtime, play normally, and let your match time stack up into redeemable points.
