The G551J specs are HM86 chipset, i5-4200H or i7-4720HQ, Intel HD 4600 or 2GB GTX960M or 4GB GTX960M, 8GB DDR3L-1333 to 16GB DDR3L-1600.
A low-end G551J variant meets Unreal Engine 4's marginally demanding minimum system requirements, although cutting it close. A mid-end or high-end G551J variant can run UE4 better, at least on external power, but it would be tasked heavy and it would run hot.
PUBG is a notoriously messy kludge. Still a "work in progress" under dev. It uses a lot of UE4 features and loads a lot of texture data into RAM and VRAM. It also generally makes poor use of multithreading and GPU scaling, it consistently loads almost all the work onto one CPU core and one GPU card, it can run a processor very hot if rendered on iGPU.
Apparently things keep on improving, gradually, as the code gets ongoing refinements and regular patches.
Yeah, maybe clean your fan with a vacuum and compressed-air blowout (but don't spin up the fans with sustained air blasts because the high rpms can quickly de-lube and wear the bearings).
Some people might advise a repaste but I wouldn't unless it's clearly necessary because temps are clearly skyrocketing up towards thermal shutdown.
It's an older laptop now, older parts tend to run a little warmer. And the battery probably puts out a lot of heat now, especially if charging and discharging simultaneously.
A laptop cooling pad can help.
Maybe halt/suspend/remove background processes which aren't needed or used while playing the game to free up maximum possible hardware resources.
