PUBG Mobile
Developer: PUBG Corporation | Genre: Battle Royale | System: Android, iOS | Release date: February 9, 2018 | USK: 16
What kind of game is this? PUBG Mobile is – as you might guess – the smartphone version of the battle royale classic PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Like in the “big brother,” you jump with dozens of other players over an otherwise deserted island.
Weapons and equipment lay everywhere. You need them because the objective is to remain the last player or team standing at the end. To keep the game exciting, the play area gets smaller over time.
In contrast to Fortnite, PUBG Mobile provides a more realistic, less colorful gaming experience. Here you find weapon-oriented rifles and pistols. Additionally, there is no building system or other gimmicks. You can fully focus on shooting.
What do the reviews say?
- PUBG Mobile has a rating of 4.3 in the Google Play Store, with about 45 million reviews
- In the App Store, the battle royale achieves 4.3 stars with 1.4 million reviews
The ratings highlight the controls, graphics, and zombie mode, in which you can experience PUBG in a completely different way. Additionally, there are regular updates and seasons.
However, recent comments have accumulated complaints about technical issues. Furthermore, PUBG Mobile reportedly has a problem with hackers and bots, which Tencent itself admits and promises improvement in the comments.
Where can I download it? You can download PUBG Mobile from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
Who should play it? PUBG Mobile is for fans of classic battle royale games. Ideally, you have already played the original game on PC or consoles and want to have this unadulterated battle royale experience on the go. PUBG Mobile offers you exciting battles with realistic weapons against a classy backdrop. So if you want the pure, unembellished BR, you are in the right place.
Are there alternatives? In addition to PUBG Mobile, you can also play Fortnite on your smartphone. However, due to a legal dispute, the title is currently unavailable in the Play Store or App Store. Another alternative is Garena Free Fire, one of the most successful shooters in the world. This free battle royale is even bigger than PUBG or Fortnite, but is especially popular in Brazil and India. The game has more than 70 million ratings in the PlayStore, which yield a rating of 4.3 stars.
