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, offering a unique way to play without downloads or local installations.

Cloud gaming's popularity is undeniable, allowing high-fidelity gameplay on various devices. Krafton's PUBG Mobile Cloud takes a different approach, positioning itself as a hardware-limitation-free experience, eliminating overheating concerns and other technical bottlenecks. 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 translates to significant advantages for PUBG Mobile:

Expanded Accessibility: Unlike many cloud gaming services integrated into subscriptions, PUBG Mobile Cloud stands alone, potentially reaching a broader player base. This strategy targets players whose devices may struggle to run the standard version of the game.

While the game's page lists system requirements, the primary appeal likely lies in its accessibility to players with less powerful mobile devices.

The long-term success remains to be seen, but a niche market undoubtedly exists. Looking for alternative shooting games? Check out our list of the top 15 best iOS shooters!
