PUBG Mobile Goes Cloud-Based: A Soft Launch in the US and Malaysia
Krafton is shaking things up with the release 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 concerns. The game leverages cloud gaming technology, meaning no local downloads or programs are needed.

Expanding Accessibility: Unlike many cloud gaming services that are subscription-based, PUBG Mobile Cloud appears to be a standalone offering, potentially broadening the game's reach to a wider audience. This is a significant departure from the typical cloud gaming model.
Potential Challenges: While marketed as a solution for players with less powerful devices, the app's listed system requirements still seem somewhat demanding. The long-term success and specific niche this version will fill remains to be seen.
