Help Can not install PUBG on my phone

Hi everyone

So I've had my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A prime with me for about 2 years no. I like keeping my things in perfect shape and it still functions flawlessly.

However, there is a small issue. I want to install the PUBG mobile app but I'm unable to do that. I download the app and the problem occurs when I start installing it. Half through it just stops installing, no warning message, no alert.
I have enough space. I've tried rebooting and installing again, it doesn't work.

Anybody else face this issue? How did you resolve it?
 
What app store are you trying to download it from?
Perhaps trying to get it from a different appstore may help.

I had a similar issue with Narcos: Cartel Wars.
Google PlayStore says that my 7.1.1 is not compatible, even though it meets all the developer's requirements.
However, Google will install it onto my 8.1.0 even though it does not meet the game developers recommended specifications.
Go figure.

So, I checked the two of the other appstores that I use, and can easily download the game onto my 7.1.1 from either of them.

ApkPure is much faster on getting new updates, just so you know.

I've only be using the google play store. I never though about this.
Hmm, I'll try some other play store. Hope it works. Thank you :)

Welcome to Android Forums @Khloe Hunter :)

Apk Mirror is run by Android Police and is considered very safe. I recommend always use good judgment when downloading apps outside Google PS.

Best of luck
