PUBG Mobile Goes Cloud-Based: A Soft Launch in the US and Malaysia
Krafton is shaking things up with the release 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 app promises a lag-free, hardware-independent gaming experience, free from overheating concerns and other technical limitations often associated with mobile gaming. A global rollout is anticipated soon.
Cloud gaming, for the uninitiated, leverages remote servers to handle the game's processing, eliminating the need for local downloads or resource-intensive programs on your device. This translates to significant advantages for PUBG Mobile Cloud.
Expanding Accessibility
Unlike many cloud gaming services bundled within subscriptions, PUBG Mobile Cloud stands as a standalone offering, potentially broadening its appeal to a wider player base. While the app's listed requirements remain somewhat broad, 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 certainly addresses a specific market need. For those seeking alternative mobile shooter options, our list of the top 15 best iOS shooters is a great place to start.
