PUBG Mobile enters the cloud gaming arena! A new cloud-based version of the popular battle royale game is currently in soft launch in the US and Malaysia. This version eliminates the need for downloads or local programs, making it accessible to a wider range of players.
Cloud gaming is rapidly gaining popularity, offering high-fidelity gameplay on virtually any device. Krafton's PUBG Mobile Cloud takes a unique approach, positioning itself as a standalone experience free from hardware limitations, overheating concerns, and other technical restrictions. While currently limited to a soft launch in the US and Malaysia, a global rollout is anticipated soon.
For the uninitiated, cloud gaming involves playing games hosted on remote servers, eliminating the need for local downloads or program execution. This means the heavy lifting is handled by the server, freeing up the player's device.
Expanding Accessibility
This cloud-based approach is noteworthy because cloud gaming often relies on subscription services. However, PUBG Mobile Cloud is designed as a standalone experience, potentially reaching a broader audience.
While the game's page lists system requirements, the primary target audience likely consists of players whose devices struggle to run the standard PUBG Mobile.
The long-term success of PUBG Mobile Cloud remains to be seen, but it certainly fills a niche market. Looking for alternative shooting games? Check out our list of the top 15 best iOS shooters!
