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

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 running any local applications.

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

For the uninitiated, cloud gaming involves playing via a remote server, eliminating the need for local downloads or programs. This translates to significant benefits for PUBG Mobile:

Expanded Accessibility: This cloud-based approach expands the game's reach. Unlike many cloud gaming services that are subscription-based, PUBG Mobile Cloud appears to be a standalone experience, potentially attracting a wider player base.

A potential drawback is the listed system requirements, which seem broad. However, the primary target audience is likely players whose devices struggle to run the standard PUBG Mobile version.

While its market niche remains to be fully defined, PUBG Mobile Cloud undoubtedly offers a unique alternative. Looking for more shooting action? Check out our list of the top 15 best iOS shooters!
