‘PUBG Mobile’ comes to both Android and iOS for free

Following last week’s beta launch here, the smartphone version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG for short, officially came out on both Android and iOS. PUBG Mobile replicates the battle royale game experience you have on Windows and Xbox and brings it to the smartphone. The difference is it doesn’t allow cross-play like its competitor Fortnite: Battle Royale does, meaning you can only play with other mobile players. But you do get the same gameplay experience on mobile. Each match still drops 100 players into a big, open map world where you will need to scrounge for gear and engage in gun battles to try to be the last player or squad standing.

The release of this free-to-play game comes days after Epic Games launched an invite-only kickoff for Fortnite. One advantage PUBG Mobile has over Fortnite is the number of devices it supports. For iOS, it can run on iOS 9 and handle up to an iPhone 6—unlike Fortnite, which needs iOS 11 and can only handle up to iPhone 6S. And since Fortnite isn’t on Android yet, PUBG Mobile already has the advantage. It can run on Android 5.1.1 or later on devices with at least 2GB of RAM.
