PUBG Mobile comes to the cloud with, well, PUBG Mobile Cloud

PUBG Mobile Goes Cloud-Based: A Soft Launch in the US and Malaysia

Krafton is shaking things up with the launch of PUBG Mobile Cloud, a cloud-gaming version of the popular battle royale title. Currently in soft launch for US and Malaysian players, this standalone Google Play download promises a lag-free experience free from hardware limitations and overheating concerns. The expectation is a global rollout soon.

For the uninitiated, cloud gaming leverages remote servers, eliminating the need for local downloads or resource-intensive programs. This translates to a potentially wider audience for PUBG Mobile, especially those with devices that struggle to run the standard version.

Expanding Accessibility

Interestingly, unlike many cloud gaming services bundled within subscriptions, PUBG Mobile Cloud appears to be a standalone offering. This strategy suggests a focus on reaching a broader player base, potentially including those whose devices previously couldn't handle the game's demands.

While the app's listed system requirements remain relatively broad, the primary target audience seems to be players with lower-spec devices. The long-term success of this approach remains to be seen, but a niche market certainly exists.
