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 version eliminates the need for downloads and local program execution.

Cloud gaming is rapidly gaining popularity, offering high-fidelity gameplay across various devices and locations. Krafton's PUBG Mobile Cloud takes a unique approach, presenting a standalone experience free from hardware limitations, 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 playing through a remote server, bypassing the need for local downloads or program execution. The heavy lifting is handled by the server. So, what does this mean for PUBG Mobile?

Expanding Accessibility: This strategy is intriguing, as cloud gaming often integrates into subscription services. However, PUBG Mobile Cloud stands alone, potentially reaching a wider player base.

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 version.

Its market viability remains to be seen, but a niche audience undoubtedly exists.
