PUBG Returns to Android with Cloud-Based Option

PUBG Mobile enters the cloud gaming arena! A cloud-based version of the popular battle royale game is currently in soft launch in the US and Malaysia. This innovative approach allows players to enjoy the game without downloading or installing any local programs.

Cloud gaming is rapidly gaining popularity, offering high-fidelity gameplay across various devices. Krafton's PUBG Mobile Cloud takes a unique approach, positioning itself as a hardware-limitation-free experience, eliminating concerns about overheating and other technical constraints. While currently limited to the US and Malaysia, a global rollout is anticipated soon.

For the uninitiated, cloud gaming involves playing the game on a remote server, eliminating the need for local downloads or program execution. This means PUBG Mobile Cloud handles all the heavy lifting.

Expanding the Player Base

This cloud-based approach is noteworthy because cloud gaming often relies on subscription services. However, PUBG Mobile Cloud appears to be a standalone experience, potentially broadening its appeal to a wider audience.

While the game's page lists system requirements, its primary target likely comprises players whose devices struggle to run the standard PUBG Mobile version.

The long-term success of PUBG Mobile Cloud remains to be seen, but it undoubtedly caters to a specific niche.
