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

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 innovative approach allows players to enjoy the game without downloading or installing any local applications.

Cloud gaming's popularity is surging, enabling high-fidelity gameplay on virtually any device. Krafton's PUBG Mobile Cloud takes a unique approach, offering a standalone experience, unlike many cloud gaming services which are typically subscription-based.

This Google Play standalone app boasts itself as a version free from hardware limitations, overheating issues, and other common technical constraints. While currently limited to the US and Malaysia, a wider global rollout is anticipated soon.

For the uninitiated, cloud gaming streams gameplay from a remote server, eliminating the need for local downloads or program execution. This means PUBG Mobile Cloud handles the heavy lifting, freeing up device resources.

Expanding Accessibility

This cloud-based approach significantly broadens PUBG Mobile's reach. While the app's listed requirements are somewhat broad, its primary target audience likely consists of players whose devices struggle to run the standard version of the game.

The long-term success of PUBG Mobile Cloud remains to be seen, but it undoubtedly caters to a specific niche. For those seeking alternative shooting games, explore our list of the top 15 best iOS shooters!
