PUBG Mobile 2018

About

The main story takes about 1 hour. It was nominated for 3 awards.

PUBG Mobile is the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a battle royale game where up to 100 players parachute onto an island, scavenge for weapons and equipment, and fight to be the last person or team standing as the playable area gradually shrinks. The game includes several modes beyond the standard battle royale, including smaller team-based formats. It is free-to-play with in-app purchases.

What is happening now

PUBG Mobile remains the battle royale standard on smartphones, dropping players into large-scale matches where scavenging and survival dictate success. The mobile version maintains the core loop that made the PC and console editions popular while optimizing the experience for touchscreen play. The latest update brings fresh thematic variety to the formula. Version 4.6 introduces Midnight Hunters, a limited-time mode that trades standard survival mechanics for vampire-themed gameplay, marking a notable tonal shift for the typically grounded battle royale. The update also brings multiple new collaborations alongside the seasonal additions, though specifics on those partnerships remain sparse. The new mode suggests developer Tencent is leaning into special event content to refresh the mobile experience between traditional seasons.
