PUBG Mobile Goes Cloud-Based: A Soft Launch in the US and Malaysia
Krafton is shaking things up with the launch of PUBG Mobile Cloud, a cloud-based version of the popular battle royale game. Currently in soft launch for US and Malaysian players, this standalone Google Play app promises a lag-free experience, free from hardware limitations and overheating issues. The game leverages remote servers, eliminating the need for local downloads or programs.
Expanding Accessibility
Unlike many cloud gaming services bundled within subscriptions, PUBG Mobile Cloud stands alone, potentially reaching a wider audience. While the app's listed requirements are somewhat broad, its primary target seems to be players whose devices struggle to run the standard PUBG Mobile game.
The long-term success of this approach remains to be seen, but it certainly taps into the growing popularity of cloud gaming technology. The ability to play high-fidelity games on a wider range of devices is a significant advantage.
