Benefits and Important Notes When Playing Mahjong Soul on PC
You may wonder why play Mahjong Soul on PC when it’s available on a smartphone. Here, we introduce the benefits and important points to consider when playing Mahjong Soul on PC, so please use this information as a reference.
Benefits
When playing Mahjong Soul on PC, naturally, the screen will be much larger than on a smartphone. This makes it easier to see the tiles, preventing mistakes such as discarding incorrectly or falling victim to a Ron hit.
Also, the animations appear more dynamic on PC compared to a smartphone, so those who enjoy character animations will have a better experience playing on PC.
Furthermore, when playing on a smartphone, you might get interrupted by calls or other notifications. But when playing on PC, you won’t experience these interruptions, allowing you to enjoy the game without distractions.
Important Notes
When playing Mahjong Soul on PC, be sure to check your CPU performance. While GPU is not that important, Mahjong Soul is often heavily dependent on CPU performance. Additionally, having at least 8GB of RAM, preferably 16GB, is recommended.
If your PC becomes unusually slow while running Mahjong Soul, check the CPU usage. If it exceeds 90%, it’s likely that the CPU performance is insufficient.

2Tips for Winning in Mahjong Soul
In "Mahjong Soul," you need to win games to earn ranking points. Winning can be difficult for beginners, but here are some tips to help you win. Try implementing these strategies:
Aim for Simple Hands
Beginners are advised to aim for simple hands. For example, reaching only for a Tan Yao (All Simples) or a Seven Pairs hand is easier for beginners to complete. When going for a single reach, avoid Pons, Chis, and Kans and stick to the basic 4 sets of 3 and 1 pair.
Avoid Getting Ron'd by Others
This strategy focuses on not losing by avoiding Ron hits. If someone is in a Reach, avoid discarding the same tile they are likely to discard. Additionally, keep a few safe tiles (known as "Anpai") and discard them. Generally, safe tiles include character tiles and terminal tiles like 1s and 9s.
Try to Tsumo Instead of Calling
As mentioned earlier, avoid calling Pon, Chi, and Kan. If you call, you can no longer reach, so prioritize drawing your own tiles to complete your hand.
If You Can’t Be First, Aim for Third to Avoid Fourth
When facing stronger opponents, achieving first place is difficult. In such cases, try to avoid coming in fourth, as this greatly reduces your ranking points. If you feel outmatched, don’t try too hard to win, but instead aim to survive and let others lose. If you secure third place, it’s still a good result.
3Differences Between the Windows and Browser Versions of Mahjong Soul
There are five main differences between the Windows version and the browser version. Check which version suits you before playing:
1. The Windows version includes special animations for Yakuman (big hands), which show a flashy animation when you complete one. This feature is also available in the app version but is not present in the browser version.
2. The Windows version allows you to review decoration items during gacha or warehouse screens. By selecting the decoration item and clicking the movie play button, you can see the corresponding animation for that item.
3. You can change settings such as resolution. In the settings menu, you can adjust the resolution and screen mode. You can choose between high-quality graphics and full-screen mode.
4. Right-click allows you to discard tiles easily. By selecting "Right-click to Discard" in the settings, you can discard tiles with a right-click, which can be more convenient, but be careful not to accidentally discard the wrong tile before getting used to it.
5. The payment methods for in-game purchases differ from the browser version. You cannot pay directly with an account link. However, credit card, PayPay, PayPal, carrier billing, and WebMoney are the same as in the browser version.
Finally
So, what do you think? We've introduced the methods, benefits, and important notes for playing Mahjong Soul on PC. There are three ways to play on PC, but if you mirror your smartphone version, you can enjoy it not just on your PC but also on your TV. If you want to enjoy the dynamic experience, mirroring is highly recommended.
