Playerunknown's Battlegrounds mobile versions launch in China
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
It's the battle royale of battle royale games though in this case Tencent has secured the big brand as opposed to sometime ago where they were looking to release a similar game to capitalise on the battle royale boom. The gameplay part is important, but time to market and bringing the game to new and multiple platforms are also important.
Much like what Fortnite is doing in the console space, NetEase's Rules of Survival was pretty much the fastest to market and localised to be the top downloaded iOS game in Q4 '17 as per TouchArcade/SensorTower. http://toucharcade.com/2018/02/07/r...p-downloaded-iphone-and-ipad-game-in-q4-2017/ and so to a good extent has first mover advantage on mobile much like Fortnite BR on consoles.
100 Battle Royale games drop on mobile. They'll have to duke it out in a Battle Royale to see who's the Battle Royalest.
o_o I don't see the Apple logo. Is it the link that asks me to use QQ first?
It plays fantastic, specially in ads, running around and aiming really feels better as on console, how f'n weird.
And the controls are very well made for a touch screen, respect.

Looks like this.
It's the exact same as PC PUBG. So 100 players. I'm not sure about controllers myself tbh.
Damn, I wish I would have recorded my very first mobile round. That was fun. Car driving, motorcycle driving, 6 kills 5th place, it really feels great.
Even the item management, when you loot something it automatically takes the stuff that you need and when someone shoots, you see on the minimap where that came from.

Was able to download the app, thanks ZhugeEX!!
So how do you play the game? I installed the app but all I see is the normal PUBG menu but with a green button on the bottom with a chat icon on it and a blue button with some sort of Dark Vader helmet on it lol.
Does anyone know how to start the game?

Yes you need the WeChat app for login.
My god, this is the first game where I wish the big versions would be F2P. How much shit you have to do here, login bonuses, missions to unlock stuff, challenges to complete to get new stuff, new parachutes, a whole level system with bonuses, star medals that you can earn and specifically trade in for rewards, it's amazing, why are the versions for that we payed for so empty? I love stuff to unlock. :D

Is a Switch version out of the question? I mean, I know it's Unreal 4, which is very Switch friendly. I'm not port begging, as I don't even like PUBG. I'm a Fortnite man, lol.
No footage of Army Attack yet?
I wanna see if that destroyer and attack helicopters from the trailer are actually real cause I have a bet with a friend who says it's "just CG trailer and won't be in the game" while I heavily disagreed.

I played a few games of Survivor Royale. it was surprisingly fun and an adequate substitute when I was fiending for more PUBG.
Is it possible to play the offical mobile PUBG yet?
ETA- anyone got a step by step to install? I'd like to try this on my lunchbreak.

I didn't know you had to install the WeChat app to get into the game but once I did I was able to play two games and WOW this is awesome!
First game I had 2 kills and the second game I came in second place with 3 kills!
How they made this version is so awesome, it picks up the shit you need and equips it automatically, you can see where you are getting shot from and it retains more or less all the same functionality as the PC version, except with worse controls ofcourse.
But hot damn this is fun! I told a few friends of mine how to download it as well :D
I used this Spanish guy's tutorial.. if you turn on subtitles and translation it's not that hard to follow if you don't speak spanish like I do :p.

I must be blind because I don't see it.
Can't wait to try it though
Or is it iPhone X exclusive
Why has that mobile game got call of duty infinite warfare music over it? That's just edited in right? Lol

Go to their website that ZhugeEX linked earlier in the thread, then hit the orange button in the top of the site.
Then hit the green button to download the apk ( or Apple equivalent ).
Then install WeChat app from the store and make an account.
Install the PUBG apk and when you are in the game hit the green button.
BOOM you are killing people
Why are you joking? Your statement is true as shit. (at least for the s version)
I'm trying to create a character but when I click what I assume is the confirm button some message pops up. What do I do from there?
Why does this run better than the s /base Xbox? I'm serious too. Lol I'm playing this on my s8+ wondering what the hell is going on. I understand that this is scaled down version but holy shit this plays freaking great for a mobile game.
I'd take the option for the Xbox s version to look like the mobile version if it runs as well.
I really need to try this when I get home. I think Hearthstone is taking up the biggest chunk of space. Wasn't a hassle to set up?
No just dload the game and dl wechat from a the local store sign up for a free wechat account and you are good to go.
It's pretty much the same thing as the real game actually. Just adapted for mobile but works great. Imo. This is hilarious. I wonder if ms has rights in other areas because this thing on mobile is going to be huge.
I figured out my issue, I guess my name was too shirt or taken and now it works.

It surely looks better, that mobile version, surely...
Most people own mobile phones, not pcs, in China. Mobile gaming is huge precisely because of markets like China, India and other developing countries where mobile phones are ubiquitous.
Wouldn't that just be The Hunger Games?
I know Battle Royale is a thing, but no amount of remakes will ever touch it
