In competitive games, players do everything they can to get an advantage over their opponents. Some hire coaches, some dedicate three to four hours every day to play and learn the game, while some just outright buy cheats and ruin the experience for everybody in the process. The reason is simple because we all want to win, and in competitive games, if someone is winning against you more often than not, they are better than you. Which strikes a nerve in some players now, while I can’t suggest you be emotional about a video game, but there’s nothing wrong with wanting to win in a game you like.
There are tons of other ways you could gain an advantage over the opponents, and in this blog, I am going to show you one and the most effective yet free ways to get the advantage over the opponents, and the game of choice here would be PUBG. because it is said to have changed the world of online gaming forever. So stick around because this blog is going to be a comprehensive guide for all of the platforms on which the game is officially available.
So it does not matter if you play on pc, a console, this blog is going to help you out in some ways or another.
Before we jump right into the best PUBG settings for 2025, here’s something for players who want results without the grind. 🎮

PC:
So firstly, let’s start with the pc port of the game. Let’s talk about the video settings of the game, which will directly affect the game’s performance, and later on, we will also talk about the audio settings and in-game sensitivity and controls.
Graphics settings:
- Render scale: 90 (looks near identical while giving extra frames)
- FPP Field of view: 103
- Overall graphics quality: Custom
- Anti-aliasing: Ultra
- Post-processing: Low
- Shadows: Low
- Textures: Ultra
- View distance: High
- Sharpen: Disable
- V-Sync: Disabled
- Motion blur: Disable
- DirectX version: DirectX 11 Enhanced
These are the competitive settings of the game, while you could obviously make some tweaks, but I would suggest that this is the best look for performance ratio settings in the game. Now if you’re on a low end pc and can barely run the game my advice would be to upgrade rather than looking into video settings and getting more performance that way because most often than that’s not an enjoyable experience and gaming is supposed to be fun rather than feeling like chore with constant lags and stutters so upgrade your rig and then apply these settings.
Moving on to the audio settings of the game.
Audio settings
So the next thing is audio settings, and it is also a really important aspect of the game. Because if you can’t hear the footsteps of the enemy, you are as good as dead. So here are the best ones that most pros currently use. Also, it goes without saying that you need good headphones with surround sound and good drivers to give you clear sound.
- HRTF: Enabled
- Lobby Music: Off
- Weapon Sound Effects: Legacy
- Master Volume: 70 or Preferred
Also, disable any other software-based surround sound or delay. You could also use EQ software to boost some frequencies to enhance the footstep sound. The footstep frequencies are the high ones, so boost the 2k hertz ones all the way to 16k hertz ones or to decibels, and you’ll clearly see the difference in the audio.
Mouse and keyboard settings:
So the mouse and keyboard settings are always preferential because everybody has a different grip about how they use their mouse, and everyone binds their keyboard differently. However, there are still some things that you could straighten out, which might make a difference in your gameplay.
Sensitivity Settings by Play Style:
Aggressive Players (Close-range combat):
- General Sensitivity: 35-45
- Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier: 0.7-0.8
- Targeting Sensitivity: 35-40
- Scope Sensitivity: 2x (35-40), 4x (25-30), 8x (15-20)
Balanced Players (Mixed combat):
- General Sensitivity: 25-35
- Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier: 0.7
- Targeting Sensitivity: 30-35
- Scope Sensitivity: 2x (30-35), 4x (20-25), 8x (12-18)
Tactical/Sniper Players (Long-range focused):
- General Sensitivity: 15-25
- Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier: 0.6-0.7
- Targeting Sensitivity: 20-30
- Scope Sensitivity: 2x (25-30), 4x (15-20), 8x (8-15)
General Sensitivity Guidelines:
DPI Settings: 400-800 DPI (Most pros use 400-800) Windows Sensitivity: 6/11 (default) Raw Input: Enabled Mouse Acceleration: Disabled
Finding Your Perfect Sensitivity: Firstly, for the sensitivity, the best way to find your best sensitivity is to use the practice range and try to flick around the mouse and hit continuous shots, and see if your aim is lacking behind or it is moving too fast. If it’s faster than lowering the sensitivity, and if it’s lagging, then turn your sensitivity up a notch.
360-Degree Rule: A good starting point is setting your sensitivity so that moving your mouse across your entire mousepad equals a 360-degree turn in-game. From there, adjust based on comfort.
Keyboard Settings:
For the keyboard, all you need to do is bind the keys that are closest to your fingers and build your muscle memory for them.
Recommended Key Binds:
- Movement: WASD (default)
- Crouch: C or Ctrl
- Prone: Z
- Jump: Space
- Sprint: Shift
- Walk: Alt
- Lean Left/Right: Q/E
- Inventory: Tab
- Map: M
- Interact: F
The reason I have not given the exact settings is that in controls, there’s not a size that fits for all. While you could copy a pre-defined sensitivity and keyboard bind, in my opinion, it’s best to find the best mouse sensitivity as well as keyboard binds by yourself. Give different sensitivities and try to find out which one suits you.
Consoles:
So, a reminder is that for the previous generation of consoles, like the PS4 and the Xbox One, the support for the game will end on 13 November 2025. Now let’s talk about the console settings. Although there are not many things you could change here, like graphical settings or the EQ but there are still some things which we can look into
Visual Settings:
- Field of View (FOV): 95-98.
- Brightness: preferential, but you should increase it a little more than you do for your usual games.
- Universal Brightness for All Maps: Disabled
- Crosshair: Use a red or a high contrast color crosshair.
Controller settings:
Like I said before, controls are one thing that is different for everybody, but still, we could do something towards the controls that will make the game easier for you.
- Controller Button Preset: Type B
- Vibrations: OFF
- Stick dead zones: 10% to 20% (left & right both)
- Invert: OFF (unless you’re used to it)
- Aim Acceleration: on
Conclusion:
The best settings for any game are the ones that feel right to you. It does not matter what the pro players are using as long as you feel comfortable with your settings and you’re growing as a player in the game; there’s no need to keep jumping from one set of settings to another. However, if you’re a beginner or someone looking for inspiration. I have given all of the settings that you could need in terms of finding the best settings in pubg.
