Same account, friends, and squads
Yes for the items the publisher names. The Play description, the launch press release, and GamingOnPhone's launch write-up all say Flash uses the same account, the same friends, and the same assets as PUBG MOBILE, and that a Flash player can join a squad in the main app. Updates stay in step. BANPAN is the same anti-cheat system on both clients.

Move items, or already share them?
PocketGamer.biz writes that you can choose to bring existing outfits and cosmetics into Flash. The Play page says the assets are the same, which is a stronger sentence: nothing to move, because it is already one inventory. Those are not identical claims. I print both. I do not collapse them into all items copy automatically or into a migration button I have not seen described by the publisher.
The shared-account description suggests that an account-level PUBG MOBILE redemption could also be visible through Flash; this is an inference, and no cited publisher page separately promises Flash redemption eligibility. The code page keeps the list. Lite cannot use that path: Lite's package is com.tencent.iglite and its account is separate, which the Economic Times comparison also notes.
FAQ
- Do I need a new login for Flash?
- No. Use the PUBG MOBILE account you already have.
- Can I play with friends who stayed on the main app?
- Yes. Play, GamingOnPhone, and PocketGamer.biz all describe cross-play squads.
- Does my UC balance copy across?
- The publisher says assets are shared and does not list UC, Royale Pass, or rank as separate switches. Those rows stay blank.
- Does a redeem code work on Flash?
- Shared accounts suggest account-level rewards may carry over; this is an inference, and each code’s region and eligibility rules still apply. The checked sources do not list a Flash-only code.
