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 allows players to enjoy the game without needing to download or install any local programs.

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-limitation-free experience, eliminating issues like overheating. While currently limited to the US and Malaysia, a global rollout is expected soon.

For the uninitiated, cloud gaming involves playing through a remote server, requiring no local downloads or program execution. This translates to several advantages for PUBG Mobile:

Expanded Accessibility: Unlike many cloud gaming services that are subscription-based, PUBG Mobile Cloud appears to be a standalone offering, potentially broadening its appeal to a wider player base.

However, the game's listed system requirements seem surprisingly extensive. This suggests the primary target audience might be players whose devices struggle to run the standard version of the game.

The long-term success of PUBG Mobile Cloud remains to be seen. While a specific niche isn't immediately apparent, there's potential for growth.
