PUBG Mobile Launches Cloud Version

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 eliminates the need for downloads or local program execution.

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

For the uninitiated, cloud gaming involves remote server-based gameplay, eliminating the need for local downloads or program execution. The server handles the heavy lifting. So what does this mean for PUBG Mobile?

Expanding Accessibility

This strategy is intriguing because cloud gaming often integrates with subscription services. However, PUBG Mobile Cloud stands alone, potentially reaching a wider player base.

While the app page lists system requirements, the primary target audience likely consists of players whose devices struggle to run the standard PUBG Mobile.

Will it succeed? A niche market likely exists, although its precise nature remains unclear.
