PUBG MOBILE is
developed by Tencent Games and PUBG Corporation and based on PLAYERUNKNOWN’S
BATTLEGROUNDS, the original PC and Xbox One gaming phenomenon that took the
world of interactive entertainment by storm in 2017. Up to 100 players parachute onto a remote island to do
battle in a winner-takes-all showdown. Players must locate and scavenge their
own weapons, vehicles and supplies, and defeat every player in a visually and
tactically rich battleground that forces players into a shrinking play zone.
