PUBG Mobile is the Android version of the popular Battle Royale shooter. It comes with almost all of the standard features of the game and allows players to play the game from their Android device.

PUBG is short for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and it is one of the game's largely responsible for the emergency of Battle Royale games. There are a few different versions, including teams and individual battles of up to 100. The 100 player maps are typically the most popular: In these games, players will fight for survival, locate weapons, collect loot and build bases or other fortresses. The objective is to be the last person standing on the map of 100. The maps are sprawling - at least at the start of every game. This enables players to develop their own strategies that best suit their needs and play styles. However, as time goes on, the maps will shrink, forcing players together.

Controls on the mobile are not what they are on a console or computer. There's no getting around that, nor is there any way to compensate for it. Furthermore, players on a mobile will be at a major disadvantage in that their screens are obviously smaller. That's not to say that it completely ruins the experience, but it does unquestionably hinder it. To be clear, the game attempts to compensate by making the controls as intuitive as possible, allowing players to rebind certain features, and formatting the game in order to maximize the experience for mobile players. Unfortunately, natural limitations are simply difficult to overcome.

However, aside from these difficulties, players on mobile devices have access to the same experience as any player on a regular device. Players have the same options, weapons, skins, and more. Indeed, the screen and controls are the only drawbacks to playing this game on a mobile device. Some reviewers have noted that the framerate on the game is stable and that textures are very sharp. If you have a high-quality or newer Android, you may struggle to tell the difference between that and a console.

The game is also constantly updated, with new maps, skins, modes, weapons, and more becoming available. This ensures that players will never get bored and always have a wide array of new content to explore.

PUBG Mobile is extremely popular. At the moment, over 34 million people have downloaded the app, with the average rating putting the game at 4.2 out of 5 stars. Some players have noted bugs and glitches. Fortunately, developers are constantly updating the game, ensuring that bugs are usually addressed almost as soon as they pop up.

Even better: The game is free to play, but there are ads. This allows users to be able to enjoy the experience without paying. Furthermore, players can spend money in order to purchase skins or other upgrades. Still, it is absolutely possible to play this game for free and have a wonderful and enjoyable experience.
