Introduction
If you are someone who plays pubg (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) and want to be more conscious of how much you play, this blog is for you. If you’re a parent who’s worried about how much your child plays pubg and wants to know more about the game or how to help them, this blog is also for you! You can even print out this blog and share with them what it was like when I (the author) got obsessed with playing pubg and had to learn some hard lessons about moderation.
Don’t use headphones the whole time if you are playing in a solo or duo.
If you are playing in a solo or duo, it is important that you do not use your headphones the whole time. You will want to be able to hear what is going on around you so that you can react appropriately. If someone is talking to you, whether it’s another player or one of your friends watching from home, it would be good for them and for everyone else in the game if they could hear what was said as well.
Play with people who aren’t too competitive.
It’s important that you play with people who aren’t too competitive, aggressive, toxic, rude and impatient. This will help you stay calm when things get hectic in the game. If you’re playing with a group of people you’ve already played with before and they are all nice people then this won’t be an issue. If not then consider finding another group or even friending them on social media so that when it comes time for another round of pubg goodness you’ll know just how to handle yourself in the heat of battle (or whatever).
Play on the easier levels at first and work up to harder levels.
- Play on the easier levels at first and work up to harder levels.
- Don’t get frustrated if you don’t win on the first try.
- Don’t try to play on the hardest level right away, or vice versa, with the easiest levels.
Take breaks for snacks and bathroom as needed.
You should take care of your body. We know this sounds obvious, but there are so many ways to not do it. We’re not going to tell you how many times we’ve been in the middle of a match and forgotten to eat or drink water, only realizing it when we see our screen start getting fuzzy because of dehydration. It can be easy to lose track of time when playing pubg and forget to take breaks for snacks or bathroom use (or even just stretching your legs). This can lead to feeling worn out during matches that could have been won if you were more focused!
We’ve all done it: sitting down with a full meal before playing pubg feels like an amazing idea at the time, but inevitably leads us straight back into battle before we’re ableto fully digest all those carbs. If you find yourself having trouble staying up late enough for bedtime because you’re too busy playing pubg all night long…it may be time for some hard conversations about self-care with yourself!
Make sure your equipment is comfortable. Try different controllers if it feels unnatural.
When trying to find the best controller for PUBG, you should make sure your equipment is comfortable. Try different controllers if it feels unnatural. Find a controller that feels natural and makes sense for you.
In general, we recommend using a wired Xbox One controller or an Xbox One S controller over their wireless counterparts (if only because they will be more reliable). If you’re looking for something more unique than the standard Xbox controllers, try a Steam Controller or an SNES Classic Edition controller—or even just an old Playstation peripheral like this one:
Make sure parents/ friends/ guardians know what you’re up to and how long you’re planning to play for.
Make sure parents/ friends/ guardians know what you’re up to and how long you’re planning to play for.
It’s important that they are aware of the amount of time that we spend playing, so they can make sure we stay safe and healthy by eating right, getting enough sleep and exercise, taking care of ourselves and playing with friends.
Don’t play when you are expected to do other things, like chores or homework.
This tip is for everyone. Many players have jobs, school or family obligations that they need to fulfill before they can play PUBG. It is important that these other things are given priority over playing the game. If you are neglecting your responsibilities because of PUBG and end up getting fired or failing a class, it will not be worth it!
I’ve been there many times before. I used to play video games all day long while ignoring my responsibilities, then one day I became homeless because I had no money left after wasting all my savings on video games (and also lost my job when they found out about how much time was spent playing). If only someone had told me this earlier…
Even though video games can be really fun and rewarding, sometimes we get too invested in them and don’t take care of our own needs!

It’s important to make sure that you are eating, drinking plenty of water and getting enough sleep. Also make sure you’re getting enough exercise (ideally outside) as well as social interaction with friends or family. It’s also important to schedule time away from the screen so your brain can rest and recharge.
Conclusion
Remember, if the game is getting frustrating, turn it off! Don’t let it ruin your day. We know it’s hard to do this, but we can all do our best to make sure we are taking care of ourselves while playing games. Hopefully you’ve learned something new about how important pacing is when playing video games and will remember these tips next time you want to play a video game.
