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 new iteration eliminates the need for downloads or local program execution.

Cloud gaming is rapidly gaining popularity, offering high-fidelity gameplay across various devices. Krafton's PUBG Mobile Cloud takes a unique approach, positioning itself as a hardware-independent experience, free from overheating concerns and other technical limitations. While currently limited to the US and Malaysia, a 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 significantly impacts PUBG Mobile's accessibility.

Expanded Player Base

This cloud-based approach is intriguing, as cloud gaming often integrates with subscription services. However, PUBG Mobile Cloud appears as a standalone offering, potentially broadening its appeal to a wider player base.

While the game's page lists system requirements, the primary target audience likely comprises players whose devices struggle to run the standard PUBG Mobile.

The long-term success remains to be seen, but a niche market certainly exists.
