Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract
Fees, Expenses, and Adjustments
Are there Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals?
Yes.
For B Series: If you withdraw money from the Contract within 7 years following your last premium payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is 7% of the premium payment, and a surrender charge may be assessed up to 7 years after the last premium payment under the Contract. If you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 withdrawal.
For  C Series: None
Market Value Adjustments for Both B &  C Series: If you withdraw or transfer assets from a  DCA Market Value Adjustment Option more than 30 days prior to the end of the Guarantee Period, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment, which may increase or decrease your initial amount invested. You could lose up to 100% of your investment in a DCA Market Value Adjustment Option as a result of a negative Market Value Adjustment. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a DCA Market Value Adjustment Option with a 12 month Guarantee Period and later withdraw the entire amount before the 12 months have ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater if you also have to pay taxes and tax penalties. The following transactions, when they occur more than 30 days prior to the end of the Guarantee Period, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment: (i) partial withdrawals (including systematic withdrawals and Required Minimum Distributions), (ii) surrenders, (iii) exercise of the right to cancel, and (iv) transfers (other than scheduled DCA transfers).
For more information on early withdrawal charges, please refer to the “Charges and Adjustments” section of this prospectus.
Are there Transaction Charges?
Yes.
In addition to surrender charges and Market Value Adjustments,  charges may be applied to transfers (if more than 20 in a Contract Year), to requests for duplicate reports, or if state or local premium taxes are assessed.
For more information on transaction charges, please refer to the “Charges and Adjustments” section of this prospectus.

Risks [Table Text Block]
Risks
Is there a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?
Yes.
You can lose money by investing in the Contract.
For more information on the risk of loss from poor performance, please refer to the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section of this prospectus.
Is this a Short-Term Investment?
No.
The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Because of the long-term nature of the Contract, you should consider whether the Contract is consistent with your financial situation and objectives.
Withdrawals may generally reduce the level of various optional benefit guarantees provided and may be subject to federal and state income taxes, as well as a 10% additional tax. If you withdraw or transfer assets from a Market Value Adjustment Option, other than during the 30 day period immediately following the end of the Guarantee Period, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment, which may increase or decrease your initial amount invested.
For more information on the short-term investment risks, please refer to the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section of this prospectus.
What are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options?
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options you select. Each of the Investment Options available under the Contract, including the Variable Options and the  DCA Market Value Adjustment options, has its own unique risks. You should review the Investment Options before making an investment decision. The DCA Market Value Adjustment Options may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which can be negative, causing you to lose money.
For more information on the risk associated with Investment Options, please refer to the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section of this prospectus.
What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. Any obligations (including under any  DCA Market Value Adjustment Option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings,  is available upon request. Such requests can be made toll free at 1-888-PRU-2888.
For more information on insurance company risks, please refer to the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section of this prospectus.
Investment Restrictions [Text Block]
Yes.
There are restrictions that may limit the investment options that you may choose, and there are limitations on the transfer of Account Value among investment options.
  • You may make twenty (20) free transfers between Investment Options each Contract Year. After the twentieth transfer in each Contract Year, we will charge $10 for each additional transfer.
  • You may only allocate Purchase Payments to the DCA Market Value Adjustment Options. You may not transfer Account Value into this program.
  • If you select an optional benefit, your selection of Investment Options may be limited.
  • The  DCA Market Value Adjustment Options may not be available through all firms.
  • You may not have a 6 Month DCA Program running simultaneously with a 12 Month Program.
We reserve the right to:
  • Remove or substitute Portfolios as Investment Options or to close Variable Options to subsequent Purchase Payments on existing Annuities or Annuities purchased on or after specified dates,
  • Impose limitations on an investment professional’s or investment advisor’s ability to request financial transactions on your behalf,
  • Limit the number of transfers you may make or to impose a minimum transfer amount, and
  • Limit, suspend or reject any additional Purchase Payment at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. If we do so, you may no longer be able to increase the amount of the death benefit under an optional death benefit through subsequent Purchase Payments. This would also impact your ability to make annual contributions to certain qualified Annuities.
Certain Investment Options may not be available through certain financial intermediaries. See Appendix D - Financial Intermediary Variations and the Cover Page for additional information.
For more information on investment and transfer restrictions, please refer to the “Charges and Adjustments” section, “Appendix A”, the “Restrictions on Transfers Between Investment Options” section, the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section, the “General Description of Contracts” section, and the “Financial Professional Permission to Forward Transaction Instructions” section of this prospectus.
Key Information, Benefit Restrictions [Text Block]
Yes.
There are restrictions and limitations relating to benefits offered under the Contract. Except as otherwise provided, Contract benefits may not be modified or terminated by the Company.
  • You may be able to obtain optional benefits, which may require additional charges. If you elect to purchase an optional benefit, we will deduct an additional charge on a quarterly basis from your Account Value allocated to the Variable Options. The charge for the optional benefit is deducted in addition to the Insurance Charge due to the increased insurance risk associated with the optional benefit.
  • Any withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms of an optional benefit may affect the availability of the benefit by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.
Certain Contract Benefits may not be available through certain financial intermediaries. See Appendix D  - Financial Intermediary Variations and the Cover Page for additional information.
For more information on optional benefits under the Contract, please refer to the “Benefits Available Under the Contract” section of this prospectus.
Tax Implications [Text Block]
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Contract. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax, and may be subject to a 10% additional tax for distributions taken prior to age 59½.
For more information on tax implications, please refer to the “Taxes” section of this prospectus.
Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block]
Broker/dealers may receive compensation for selling the Contract to investors and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment. This compensation is paid in the form of commissions, revenue sharing, and other compensation programs based on your investments in the Contract.
For more information on investment professional compensation, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
Exchanges [Text Block]
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you  a new Contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your Contract if you determine after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing Contract, that it is preferable to purchase the new Contract, rather than continue to own your existing Contract.
For more information on exchanges, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT
The risks identified below are the principal risks of investing in the Annuity. The Annuity may be subject to additional risks other than those identified and described in this prospectus.
Risk of Loss: You could lose money by investing in the Annuity, including your principal investment. An investment in the Annuity is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Risks Associated with Variable Options: You take all the investment risk for amounts allocated to one or more of the Variable Options, which invest in Portfolios. If the Variable Options you select increase in value, then your Account Value goes up; if they decrease in value, your Account Value goes down. How much your Account Value goes up or down depends on the performance of the Portfolios in which your Variable Options invest. We do not guarantee the investment results of any Portfolio. An investment in the Annuity is subject to the risk of poor investment performance, and the value of your investment can vary depending on the performance of the selected Portfolio(s), each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Portfolios before making an investment decision. We reserve the right to add, eliminate, substitute or combine Variable Options as Investment Options available under the Annuity or to close Variable Options to subsequent Purchase Payments on existing Annuities or for Annuities purchased on or after specified dates.
Risks Associated with the DCA Market Value Adjustment Options: We determine the interest rates credited to the DCA Market Value Adjustment Options in our sole discretion, subject to guaranteed minimums, and we may change the rates for new Guarantee Periods at any time. Any change in interest rates do not affect Guarantee Periods that began before the date of the change. There is a risk that the interest rates for new Guarantee Periods will be lower than the rates that were previously in effect. In addition, if you withdraw or transfer assets from a DCA Market Value Adjustment Option more than 30 days prior to the end of the Guarantee Period, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment, which may increase or decrease your initial amount invested. You could lose up to 100% of your investment in a DCA Market Value Adjustment Option as a result of a negative Market Value Adjustment. Generally, if yields are higher at the time of Market Value Adjustment application than they were at the beginning of the Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjustment will be negative.
Early Withdrawal Risk: The Annuity is not a short-term investment vehicle and is not an appropriate investment for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Annuity is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Because of the long-term nature of the Annuity, you should consider whether the Annuity is consistent with your financial situation and objectives. Withdrawals under the Annuity, including partial withdrawals and a full surrender, may be subject to negative Market Value Adjustments and negative tax consequences. If you have elected certain Optional Benefits, a withdrawal may reduce the amount of your Benefit on more than a dollar-for-dollar basis. While the Annuity provides a Death Benefit, the amount of that benefit is subject to investment gains and losses and is reduced for any withdrawals you take.
Insurance Company Risk: No company other than Pruco Life has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that Pruco Life owes under the Annuity, including amounts allocated to the fixed allocations, which are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims-paying ability. Assets in the general account are not segregated for the exclusive benefit of any particular contract or obligation. General account assets are also available to our general creditors and for conducting routine business activities, such as the payment of salaries, rent and other ordinary business expenses. You should look to the financial strength of Pruco Life for its claims-paying ability. Pruco Life is also subject to risks related to disasters and other events, such as storms, earthquakes, fires, outbreaks of infectious diseases (such as COVID-19), utility failures, terrorist acts, political and social developments, and military and governmental actions. These risks are often collectively referred to as “business continuity” risks. These events could adversely affect Pruco Life and our ability to conduct business and process transactions. Although Pruco Life has business continuity plans, it is possible that the plans may not operate as intended or required and that Pruco Life may not be able to provide required services, process transactions, deliver documents or calculate values. It is also possible that service levels may decline as a result of such events.
Possible Adverse Tax Consequences: The tax considerations associated with the Annuity vary and can be complicated. The tax considerations discussed in this prospectus are general in nature and describe only federal income tax law (not state, local, foreign or other federal tax laws). Before making a Purchase Payment or taking other action related to your Annuity, you should consult with a qualified tax advisor for complete information and advice. For example, distributions from your Annuity are generally subject to ordinary income taxation on the amount of any investment gain unless the distribution qualifies as a non-taxable exchange or transfer. In addition, if you take a distribution prior to the taxpayer’s age 59½, you may be subject to a 10% additional tax in addition to ordinary income taxes on any gain.
Possible Fees on Access to Account Value:  We may apply fees if you access your Account Value during the Accumulation Period or surrender your Annuity. For example, in addition to possible tax consequences discussed above, you may incur fees for accessing your Account Value such as a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, Annual Maintenance Fee, Tax Charge, and/or a charge for any optional benefit. In addition, we may assess a Market Value Adjustment for withdrawals from a fixed allocation.
Annuity Changes Risk: We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers you may make or to impose a minimum transfer amount. We also reserve the right to add, eliminate, substitute or combine Variable Options as Investment Options available under the Annuity or to close Variable Options to subsequent Purchase Payments on existing Annuities or for Annuities purchased on or after specified dates. We may limit, suspend or reject any additional Purchase Payment at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. If we do so, you may no longer be able to increase the amount of the death benefit under an optional death benefit through subsequent Purchase Payments. This would also impact your ability to make annual contributions to certain qualified Annuities. In addition, we may impose limitations on an investment professional’s or investment advisor’s ability to request financial transactions on your behalf.
Cyber Security and Business Continuity Risks: With the increasing use of technology and computer systems in general and, in particular, the Internet to conduct necessary business functions, the Company is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. These risks, which are often collectively referred to as “cyber security” risks, may include deliberate or malicious attacks, as well as unintentional events and occurrences. These risks are heightened by our offering of increasingly complex products, such as those that feature automatic asset transfer or reallocation strategies, and by our employment of complex investment, trading and hedging programs. Cyber security is generally defined as the technology, operations and related protocol  surrounding and protecting a user’s computer hardware, network, systems and applications and the data transmitted and stored therewith. These measures ensure the reliability of a user’s systems, as well as the security, availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data assets.
Deliberate cyber attacks can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access (including physical break-ins) to computer systems in order to misappropriate and/or disclose sensitive or confidential information; deleting, corrupting or modifying data; and causing operational disruptions. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (in order to prevent access to computer networks). In addition to deliberate breaches engineered by external actors, cyber security risks can also result from the conduct of malicious, exploited or careless insiders, whose actions may result in the destruction, release or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information stored on an organization’s systems.
The Company is also subject to risks related to disasters and other events, such as storms, earthquakes, fires, outbreaks of infectious diseases (such as COVID-19), utility failures, terrorist acts, political and social developments, and military and governmental actions. These risks are often collectively referred to as “business continuity” risks. These events could adversely affect the Company and our ability to conduct business and process transactions. Although the Company has business continuity plans, it is possible that the plans may not operate as intended or required and that the Company may not be able to provide required services, process transactions, deliver documents or calculate values. It is also possible that service levels may decline as a result of such events.
Cyber security events, disasters and similar events, whether deliberate or unintentional, that could impact the Company and Contract owners could arise not only in connection with our own administration of the Annuity, but also with entities operating the Annuity’s Portfolios and with third-party service providers. Cyber security and other events affecting any of the entities involved with the offering and administration of the Annuity may cause significant disruptions in the business operations related to the Annuity. Potential impacts may include, but are not limited to, potential financial losses under the Annuity, your inability to conduct transactions under the Annuity and/or with respect to a Portfolio, an inability to calculate unit values with respect to the Annuity and/or the net asset value (“NAV”) with respect to a Portfolio, and disclosures of your personal or confidential account information.
In addition to direct impacts to you, cyber security and other events described above may result in adverse impacts to the Company, including regulatory inquiries, regulatory proceedings, regulatory and/or legal and litigation costs, and reputational damage. Costs incurred by the Company may include reimbursement and other expenses, including the costs of litigation and litigation settlements and additional compliance costs. Considerable expenses also may be incurred by the Company in enhancing and upgrading computer systems and systems security following a cyber security failure or responding to a disaster or similar event. The rapid proliferation of technologies, as well as the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, and others continue to pose new and significant cyber security threats. In addition, the global spread of COVID-19 has caused the Company and its service providers to implement business continuity plans, including widespread use of work-from-home arrangements. Although the Company, our service providers, and the Portfolios offered under the Annuity may have established business continuity plans and risk management systems to mitigate risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that such plans or systems will be effective, or that all risks that exist, or may develop in the future, have been completely anticipated and identified or can be protected against. Furthermore, the Company cannot control or assure the efficacy of the cyber security and business continuity plans and systems implemented by third-party service providers, the Portfolios, and the issuers in which the Portfolios invest.
The military invasion of Ukraine initiated by Russia in February 2022 and the resulting response by the United States and other countries have led to economic disruptions, as well as increased volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets. It is not possible to predict the ultimate duration and scope of the conflict, or the future impact on  U.S. and global economies and financial markets.
Artificial Intelligence Risk: In addition to the cyber security risks described above, the development, adoption and use of AI, including generative artificial intelligence (“Generative AI”), by us and by third parties on whom we rely may increase existing operational risks or create new operational risks that we are not currently anticipating. AI technologies offer potential benefits in areas such as customer service personalization and process automation, and we expect to use AI and Generative AI to help deliver products and services and support critical functions. We also expect third parties on whom we rely to do the same. There are significant risks involved in developing and deploying AI, and there can be no assurance that its use will enhance our products or services or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. The risk that AI and Generative AI may be misused is increased by the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the lack of laws, regulations or standards governing its use. Such misuse could expose the Company to legal or regulatory risk, damage customer relationships or cause reputational harm. Further, our ability to continue to develop and efficiently deploy AI technologies depends on access to specific third-party equipment and other physical infrastructure, such as processing hardware and network capacity, the availability and pricing of which is difficult to control, especially in a highly competitive environment. Our competitors may also adopt AI or Generative AI more quickly or more effectively than we do, which could cause competitive harm. Because the Generative AI technology is so new, some of the potential risks of Generative AI are currently unknowable.

Exemption for Issuers of Securities Subject to Insurance Regulation [Flag] true
Item 7. Charges and Adjustments [Line Items]  
Contract Adjustment [Table Text Block]
CHARGES AND ADJUSTMENTS
The charges under each Annuity are designed to cover, in the aggregate, our direct and indirect costs of selling, administering and providing benefits under each Annuity. They are also designed, in the aggregate, to compensate us for the risks of loss we assume. If, as we expect, the charges that we collect from the Annuity exceed our total costs in connection with the Annuity, we will earn a profit. Otherwise we will incur a loss. For example, Pruco Life may make a profit on the Total Insurance Charge (as described in the “Total Insurance Charge” subsection of this section) if, over time, the actual costs of providing the guaranteed insurance obligations and other expenses under the Annuity are less than the amount we deduct for the Total Insurance Charge. To the extent we make a profit on the Total Insurance Charge, such profit may be used for any other corporate purpose.
The rates of certain of our charges have been set with reference to estimates of the amount of specific types of expenses or risks that we will incur. In general, a given charge under the Annuity compensates us for our costs and risks related to that charge and may provide for a profit. However, it is possible that with respect to a particular obligation we have under this Annuity, we may be compensated not only by the charge specifically tied to that obligation, but also from one or more other charges we impose.
With regard to charges that are assessed as a percentage of the value of the Variable Options, please note that such charges are assessed through a reduction to the Unit Value of your investment in each Variable Option, and in that way reduce your Account Value. A “Unit” refers to a share of participation in a Variable Option used to calculate your Unadjusted Account Value prior to the Annuity Date.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) (FOR B SERIES ONLY): A CDSC reimburses us for expenses related to sales and distribution of the Annuity, including commissions, marketing materials and other promotional expenses. We may deduct a CDSC if you surrender your Annuity or when you make a partial withdrawal. The CDSC is calculated as a percentage of your Purchase Payment being surrendered or withdrawn. The CDSC percentage varies with the number of years that have elapsed since each Purchase Payment being withdrawn was made. If a withdrawal is taken on the day before the anniversary of the date that the Purchase Payment being withdrawn was made, then the CDSC percentage as of the next following year will apply. The CDSC percentages for the B Series are shown under “Fee Table” section in this prospectus.
With respect to a partial withdrawal, we calculate the CDSC by assuming that any available Free Withdrawal Amount is taken out first (see “Free Withdrawal Amounts”). If the Free Withdrawal Amount is not sufficient, we then assume that any remaining amount of a partial withdrawal is taken from Purchase Payments on a first-in, first-out basis, and subsequently from any other Account Value in the Annuity (such as gains), as described in the examples below.
Contract Adjustment, Waiver Circumstances [Text Block] We may waive any applicable CDSC under certain circumstances described below in “Exceptions/Reductions to Fees and Charges.”
EXCEPTIONS/REDUCTIONS TO FEES AND CHARGES
We may reduce or eliminate certain fees and charges or alter the manner in which the particular fee or charge is deducted. For example, we may reduce the amount of any CDSC (B Series only) or the length of time it applies, reduce or eliminate the amount of the Annual Maintenance Fee or reduce the portion of the Total Insurance Charge that is deducted as an administration charge. We will not discriminate unfairly between Annuity purchasers if and when we reduce any fees and charges.
Contract Adjustment, Purpose [Text Block] The charges under each Annuity are designed to cover, in the aggregate, our direct and indirect costs of selling, administering and providing benefits under each Annuity. They are also designed, in the aggregate, to compensate us for the risks of loss we assume. If, as we expect, the charges that we collect from the Annuity exceed our total costs in connection with the Annuity, we will earn a profit. Otherwise we will incur a loss. For example, Pruco Life may make a profit on the Total Insurance Charge (as described in the “Total Insurance Charge” subsection of this section) if, over time, the actual costs of providing the guaranteed insurance obligations and other expenses under the Annuity are less than the amount we deduct for the Total Insurance Charge. To the extent we make a profit on the Total Insurance Charge, such profit may be used for any other corporate purpose.

THE RETURN OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS DEATH BENEFIT
For an additional charge, both Annuities provide an optional death benefit called the Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit, which must be elected at the time you purchase the Annuity. This is referred to as the Return of Adjusted Purchase Payments Death Benefit Rider and will be attached to your Annuity contract once issued. You must be no older than age 79 to elect this optional benefit. Once elected, this optional benefit cannot be cancelled at a later date. Additionally, if your Annuity was issued before August 24, 2015, and you elected the Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit, certain Investment Options are not available to invest in or to transfer from.  Please see the “Appendix A” section of this prospectus.
The amount of the death benefit under the Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit is equal to the greater of:
●
The Return of Purchase Payments Amount, defined below; AND
●
The Unadjusted Account Value on the date we receive Due Proof of Death.
Calculation of the Return of Purchase Payments Amount
Initially, the Return of Purchase Payment amount is equal to the sum of all Adjusted Purchase Payments allocated to the Annuity on its Issue Date. Thereafter, the Return of Purchase Payments Amount is:
●
Increased by additional Adjusted Purchase Payments allocated to the Annuity, and
●
Reduced for any partial withdrawals. A withdrawal will cause a proportional reduction to the Return of Purchase Payments Amount equal to the ratio of the amount of the withdrawal to the Unadjusted Account Value immediately prior to the withdrawal).
Here is an example of how the optional Return of Purchase Payments death benefit is calculated:
The contract was issued with Purchase Payments totaling $100,000 but, due to negative Variable Option performance, the Account Value had decreased to $80,000. If the Owner died, the death benefit would still be $100,000. This amount, however, is reduced proportionally when you make a withdrawal from the contract. If the contract Owner had withdrawn 50% of the remaining $80,000, the death benefit would also be reduced by 50%. Since the death benefit had been $100,000, it would now be $50,000.

Principal Risk [Text Block] Risk of Loss: You could lose money by investing in the Annuity, including your principal investment. An investment in the Annuity is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Not Short Term Investment Risk [Member]  
Item 3. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Because of the long-term nature of the Contract, you should consider whether the Contract is consistent with your financial situation and objectives.Withdrawals may generally reduce the level of various optional benefit guarantees provided and may be subject to federal and state income taxes, as well as a 10% additional tax. If you withdraw or transfer assets from a Market Value Adjustment Option, other than during the 30 day period immediately following the end of the Guarantee Period, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment, which may increase or decrease your initial amount invested.For more information on the short-term investment risks, please refer to the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section of this prospectus.
Investment Options Risk [Member]  
Item 3. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options you select. Each of the Investment Options available under the Contract, including the Variable Options and the  DCA Market Value Adjustment options, has its own unique risks. You should review the Investment Options before making an investment decision. The DCA Market Value Adjustment Options may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which can be negative, causing you to lose money.For more information on the risk associated with Investment Options, please refer to the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section of this prospectus.
Early Withdrawal Risk [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Early Withdrawal Risk: The Annuity is not a short-term investment vehicle and is not an appropriate investment for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Annuity is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Because of the long-term nature of the Annuity, you should consider whether the Annuity is consistent with your financial situation and objectives. Withdrawals under the Annuity, including partial withdrawals and a full surrender, may be subject to negative Market Value Adjustments and negative tax consequences. If you have elected certain Optional Benefits, a withdrawal may reduce the amount of your Benefit on more than a dollar-for-dollar basis. While the Annuity provides a Death Benefit, the amount of that benefit is subject to investment gains and losses and is reduced for any withdrawals you take.
Insurance Company Risk [Member]  
Item 3. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. Any obligations (including under any  DCA Market Value Adjustment Option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings,  is available upon request. Such requests can be made toll free at 1-888-PRU-2888.For more information on insurance company risks, please refer to the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” section of this prospectus.
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Insurance Company Risk: No company other than Pruco Life has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that Pruco Life owes under the Annuity, including amounts allocated to the fixed allocations, which are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims-paying ability. Assets in the general account are not segregated for the exclusive benefit of any particular contract or obligation. General account assets are also available to our general creditors and for conducting routine business activities, such as the payment of salaries, rent and other ordinary business expenses. You should look to the financial strength of Pruco Life for its claims-paying ability. Pruco Life is also subject to risks related to disasters and other events, such as storms, earthquakes, fires, outbreaks of infectious diseases (such as COVID-19), utility failures, terrorist acts, political and social developments, and military and governmental actions. These risks are often collectively referred to as “business continuity” risks. These events could adversely affect Pruco Life and our ability to conduct business and process transactions. Although Pruco Life has business continuity plans, it is possible that the plans may not operate as intended or required and that Pruco Life may not be able to provide required services, process transactions, deliver documents or calculate values. It is also possible that service levels may decline as a result of such events.
Risks Associated with Variable Options [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Risks Associated with Variable Options: You take all the investment risk for amounts allocated to one or more of the Variable Options, which invest in Portfolios. If the Variable Options you select increase in value, then your Account Value goes up; if they decrease in value, your Account Value goes down. How much your Account Value goes up or down depends on the performance of the Portfolios in which your Variable Options invest. We do not guarantee the investment results of any Portfolio. An investment in the Annuity is subject to the risk of poor investment performance, and the value of your investment can vary depending on the performance of the selected Portfolio(s), each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Portfolios before making an investment decision. We reserve the right to add, eliminate, substitute or combine Variable Options as Investment Options available under the Annuity or to close Variable Options to subsequent Purchase Payments on existing Annuities or for Annuities purchased on or after specified dates.
Risks Associated with the DCA Market Value Adjustment Options [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Risks Associated with the DCA Market Value Adjustment Options: We determine the interest rates credited to the DCA Market Value Adjustment Options in our sole discretion, subject to guaranteed minimums, and we may change the rates for new Guarantee Periods at any time. Any change in interest rates do not affect Guarantee Periods that began before the date of the change. There is a risk that the interest rates for new Guarantee Periods will be lower than the rates that were previously in effect. In addition, if you withdraw or transfer assets from a DCA Market Value Adjustment Option more than 30 days prior to the end of the Guarantee Period, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment, which may increase or decrease your initial amount invested. You could lose up to 100% of your investment in a DCA Market Value Adjustment Option as a result of a negative Market Value Adjustment. Generally, if yields are higher at the time of Market Value Adjustment application than they were at the beginning of the Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjustment will be negative.
Possible Adverse Tax Consequences [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Possible Adverse Tax Consequences: The tax considerations associated with the Annuity vary and can be complicated. The tax considerations discussed in this prospectus are general in nature and describe only federal income tax law (not state, local, foreign or other federal tax laws). Before making a Purchase Payment or taking other action related to your Annuity, you should consult with a qualified tax advisor for complete information and advice. For example, distributions from your Annuity are generally subject to ordinary income taxation on the amount of any investment gain unless the distribution qualifies as a non-taxable exchange or transfer. In addition, if you take a distribution prior to the taxpayer’s age 59½, you may be subject to a 10% additional tax in addition to ordinary income taxes on any gain.
Possible Fees on Access to Account Value [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Possible Fees on Access to Account Value:  We may apply fees if you access your Account Value during the Accumulation Period or surrender your Annuity. For example, in addition to possible tax consequences discussed above, you may incur fees for accessing your Account Value such as a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, Annual Maintenance Fee, Tax Charge, and/or a charge for any optional benefit. In addition, we may assess a Market Value Adjustment for withdrawals from a fixed allocation.
Annuity Changes Risk [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Annuity Changes Risk: We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers you may make or to impose a minimum transfer amount. We also reserve the right to add, eliminate, substitute or combine Variable Options as Investment Options available under the Annuity or to close Variable Options to subsequent Purchase Payments on existing Annuities or for Annuities purchased on or after specified dates. We may limit, suspend or reject any additional Purchase Payment at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. If we do so, you may no longer be able to increase the amount of the death benefit under an optional death benefit through subsequent Purchase Payments. This would also impact your ability to make annual contributions to certain qualified Annuities. In addition, we may impose limitations on an investment professional’s or investment advisor’s ability to request financial transactions on your behalf.
Cyber Security and Business Continuity Risk [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Cyber Security and Business Continuity Risks: With the increasing use of technology and computer systems in general and, in particular, the Internet to conduct necessary business functions, the Company is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. These risks, which are often collectively referred to as “cyber security” risks, may include deliberate or malicious attacks, as well as unintentional events and occurrences. These risks are heightened by our offering of increasingly complex products, such as those that feature automatic asset transfer or reallocation strategies, and by our employment of complex investment, trading and hedging programs. Cyber security is generally defined as the technology, operations and related protocol  surrounding and protecting a user’s computer hardware, network, systems and applications and the data transmitted and stored therewith. These measures ensure the reliability of a user’s systems, as well as the security, availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data assets.Deliberate cyber attacks can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access (including physical break-ins) to computer systems in order to misappropriate and/or disclose sensitive or confidential information; deleting, corrupting or modifying data; and causing operational disruptions. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (in order to prevent access to computer networks). In addition to deliberate breaches engineered by external actors, cyber security risks can also result from the conduct of malicious, exploited or careless insiders, whose actions may result in the destruction, release or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information stored on an organization’s systems.The Company is also subject to risks related to disasters and other events, such as storms, earthquakes, fires, outbreaks of infectious diseases (such as COVID-19), utility failures, terrorist acts, political and social developments, and military and governmental actions. These risks are often collectively referred to as “business continuity” risks. These events could adversely affect the Company and our ability to conduct business and process transactions. Although the Company has business continuity plans, it is possible that the plans may not operate as intended or required and that the Company may not be able to provide required services, process transactions, deliver documents or calculate values. It is also possible that service levels may decline as a result of such events.Cyber security events, disasters and similar events, whether deliberate or unintentional, that could impact the Company and Contract owners could arise not only in connection with our own administration of the Annuity, but also with entities operating the Annuity’s Portfolios and with third-party service providers. Cyber security and other events affecting any of the entities involved with the offering and administration of the Annuity may cause significant disruptions in the business operations related to the Annuity. Potential impacts may include, but are not limited to, potential financial losses under the Annuity, your inability to conduct transactions under the Annuity and/or with respect to a Portfolio, an inability to calculate unit values with respect to the Annuity and/or the net asset value (“NAV”) with respect to a Portfolio, and disclosures of your personal or confidential account information.In addition to direct impacts to you, cyber security and other events described above may result in adverse impacts to the Company, including regulatory inquiries, regulatory proceedings, regulatory and/or legal and litigation costs, and reputational damage. Costs incurred by the Company may include reimbursement and other expenses, including the costs of litigation and litigation settlements and additional compliance costs. Considerable expenses also may be incurred by the Company in enhancing and upgrading computer systems and systems security following a cyber security failure or responding to a disaster or similar event. The rapid proliferation of technologies, as well as the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, and others continue to pose new and significant cyber security threats. In addition, the global spread of COVID-19 has caused the Company and its service providers to implement business continuity plans, including widespread use of work-from-home arrangements. Although the Company, our service providers, and the Portfolios offered under the Annuity may have established business continuity plans and risk management systems to mitigate risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that such plans or systems will be effective, or that all risks that exist, or may develop in the future, have been completely anticipated and identified or can be protected against. Furthermore, the Company cannot control or assure the efficacy of the cyber security and business continuity plans and systems implemented by third-party service providers, the Portfolios, and the issuers in which the Portfolios invest.The military invasion of Ukraine initiated by Russia in February 2022 and the resulting response by the United States and other countries have led to economic disruptions, as well as increased volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets. It is not possible to predict the ultimate duration and scope of the conflict, or the future impact on  U.S. and global economies and financial markets.
Artificial Intelligence Risk [Member]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Artificial Intelligence Risk: In addition to the cyber security risks described above, the development, adoption and use of AI, including generative artificial intelligence (“Generative AI”), by us and by third parties on whom we rely may increase existing operational risks or create new operational risks that we are not currently anticipating. AI technologies offer potential benefits in areas such as customer service personalization and process automation, and we expect to use AI and Generative AI to help deliver products and services and support critical functions. We also expect third parties on whom we rely to do the same. There are significant risks involved in developing and deploying AI, and there can be no assurance that its use will enhance our products or services or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. The risk that AI and Generative AI may be misused is increased by the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the lack of laws, regulations or standards governing its use. Such misuse could expose the Company to legal or regulatory risk, damage customer relationships or cause reputational harm. Further, our ability to continue to develop and efficiently deploy AI technologies depends on access to specific third-party equipment and other physical infrastructure, such as processing hardware and network capacity, the availability and pricing of which is difficult to control, especially in a highly competitive environment. Our competitors may also adopt AI or Generative AI more quickly or more effectively than we do, which could cause competitive harm. Because the Generative AI technology is so new, some of the potential risks of Generative AI are currently unknowable.

1. The Administrative Expense is referred to as “Annual Maintenance Fee” elsewhere in this Prospectus. The Administrative Expense is only applicable if the sum of the Purchase Payments at the time the fee is due is less than $100,000.
[2]
1. The Deferred Sales Charges, if applicable, are assessed as a percentage of each applicable Purchase Payment and deducted upon surrender or withdrawal. For purposes of calculating this charge, we consider the year following the date of each Purchase Payment as Year 1. Purchase Payments are withdrawn on a “first-in, first-out” basis.
[3]
2. Currently, we deduct the fee after the 20th transfer each Annuity Year. Transfers in connection with a rebalancing or Dollar Cost Averaging program do not count toward the 20 free transfers in an Annuity Year.  
[4]
3. We do not currently assess this fee. However, we reserve the right to charge up to $50 for each additional report (i.e., confirmation statement or quarterly statement) you request.

1. The following transactions, when they occur more than 30 days prior to the end of the Guarantee Period, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment: (i) partial withdrawals (including systematic withdrawals and Required Minimum Distributions), (ii) surrenders, (iii) exercise of the right to cancel, and (iv) transfers (other than scheduled DCA transfers).
[6]
2. The Premium Based Insurance Charge, shown as an annualized rate, is deducted on a quarterly basis at a rate of 0.1175% for the B Series for contracts issued on or after September 16, 2019 and is deducted on a quarterly basis at a rate of 0.1375% for the B Series for contracts issued before September 16, 2019. The Premium Based Insurance Charge is deducted on a quarterly basis at a rate of 0.1675% for the C Series.  
[7]
3. For contracts issued on or after August 24, 2015 the Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit charge is comprised of a 0.18% charge assessed daily as a percentage of the net assets of the Variable Options (Account Value Based Charge) plus a 0.17% Premium Based Charge assessed quarterly at 0.0425% and deducted on a proportional basis from the Variable Options in which you maintain Account Value on the date the charge is due. For contracts issued prior to August 24, 2015, the charge is comprised of a 0.15% charge assessed daily as a percentage of the net assets of the Variable Options (Account Value Based Charge) plus a 0.15% Premium Based Charge assessed quarterly at 0.0375% and deducted on a proportional basis from the Variable Options in which you maintain Account Value on the date the charge is due.

1. These Portfolios are also offered in other variable annuity contracts that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula to manage the guarantees offered in connection with optional benefits.  
Those other variable annuity contracts offer certain optional living benefits that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula (the “formula”) to manage the guarantees offered in connection with those optional benefits. The formula monitors each contract Owner’s Account Value daily and, if necessary, will systematically transfer amounts among investment options. The formula transfers funds between the Variable Options for those variable annuity contracts and an AST Bond Portfolio Variable Option or a fixed account (those AST Bond Portfolios or a fixed account may not be available in connection with the annuity contracts offered through this prospectus). You should be aware that the operation of the formula in those other variable annuity contracts may result in large-scale asset flows into and out of the underlying Portfolios that are available with your contract. These asset flows could adversely impact the underlying Portfolios, including their risk profile, expenses and performance. Because transfers between the Variable Options and the AST Bond Variable Option or a fixed account can be frequent and the amount transferred can vary from day to day, any of the underlying Portfolios could experience the following effects, among others:
(a) a Portfolio’s investment performance could be adversely affected by requiring a subadvisor to purchase and sell securities at inopportune times or by otherwise limiting the subadvisor’s ability to fully implement the Portfolio’s investment strategy;
(b) the subadvisor may be required to hold a larger portion of assets in highly liquid securities than it otherwise would hold, which could adversely affect performance if the highly liquid securities underperform other securities (e.g., equities) that otherwise would have been held; and
(c)   a Portfolio may experience higher turnover and greater negative asset flows than it would have experienced without the formula, which could result in higher operating expense ratios and higher transaction costs for the Portfolio compared to other similar funds.
The efficient operation of the asset flows among Portfolios triggered by the formula depends on active and liquid markets. If market liquidity is strained, the asset flows may not operate as intended. For example, it is possible that illiquid markets or other market stress could cause delays in the transfer of cash from one Portfolio to another Portfolio, which in turn could adversely impact performance.
Before you allocate to the Variable Option with the AST Portfolios listed above, you should consider the potential effects on the Portfolios that are the result of the operation of the formula in the variable annuity contracts that are unrelated to your Variable Annuity. Please work with your financial professional to determine which Portfolios are appropriate for your needs.
