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 for US and Malaysian players, this standalone Google Play app promises a lag-free, high-fidelity experience without the need for downloads or local processing power. This bypasses hardware limitations, overheating concerns, and other typical technical hurdles. A global rollout is expected soon.
Cloud gaming, for the uninitiated, leverages remote servers to handle the game's processing, freeing up your device for a smoother experience. For PUBG Mobile, this translates to:
Expanded Accessibility: Unlike many cloud gaming services that are subscription-based, PUBG Mobile Cloud appears to be a standalone offering, potentially broadening the game's reach to players with less powerful devices.
While the app's listed requirements are still somewhat broad, its primary target audience likely consists of players whose devices struggle to run the standard PUBG Mobile application.
The long-term success of PUBG Mobile Cloud remains to be seen, but it certainly taps into a growing market. Looking for alternative shooting games? Check out our list of the top 15 best iOS shooters!
