PUBG Mobile Now Available in the 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-based version of the popular battle royale game. Currently in soft launch in the US and Malaysia, this standalone Google Play download promises a lag-free experience, free from hardware limitations and overheating concerns.

Cloud gaming, for the uninitiated, involves playing games via a remote server, eliminating the need for local downloads or resource-intensive programs. This approach opens up PUBG Mobile to a wider audience, particularly those with devices that struggle to run the standard version.

Expanding Accessibility

Interestingly, PUBG Mobile Cloud bucks the trend of cloud gaming being tied to subscription services. It's positioned as a standalone experience, potentially broadening its appeal significantly.

While the app listing still shows system requirements, the primary target likely consists of players whose devices previously couldn't handle the game's demands. The long-term success of this approach remains to be seen, but it certainly carves out a unique niche in the mobile gaming landscape.
