PUBG Mobile Goes Cloud-Based: A Soft Launch in the US and Malaysia
Krafton is bringing PUBG Mobile to the cloud, launching a cloud-based version in a soft launch for US and Malaysian players. This version eliminates the need for downloads and local programs, capitalizing on the growing popularity of cloud gaming.
The Google Play standalone app boasts a hardware-limitation-free experience, resolving issues like overheating and other technical constraints often associated with mobile gaming. While currently limited to the US and Malaysia, a global rollout is anticipated soon.
For the uninitiated, cloud gaming utilizes remote servers, removing the burden of processing from the player's device. This translates to a smoother PUBG Mobile experience, regardless of device capabilities.
Expanding Accessibility
Unlike many cloud gaming services integrated into subscription models, PUBG Mobile Cloud stands as a standalone offering, potentially reaching a wider player base. While the app's listed requirements are somewhat broad, its primary target audience likely comprises players with devices insufficient for the standard PUBG Mobile experience.
The long-term success of this cloud-based version remains to be seen, though a niche market undoubtedly exists.
