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 in the US and Malaysia, this standalone Google Play download promises a lag-free experience, free from hardware limitations and overheating issues.
Cloud gaming, for the uninitiated, involves playing games streamed from a remote server, eliminating the need for local downloads or resource-intensive programs. This approach opens up PUBG Mobile to a wider audience, particularly those with devices that might struggle to run the standard version.
Expanding Accessibility
While cloud gaming often integrates with subscription services, PUBG Mobile Cloud stands out as a standalone offering. This potentially broadens its appeal, making it accessible to a larger player base. However, the listed system requirements remain relatively broad, suggesting the target audience might be players whose devices previously couldn't handle the game.
The long-term success of PUBG Mobile Cloud remains to be seen. While a specific niche isn't immediately apparent, its potential to reach players previously excluded by hardware limitations is undeniable.
