How does it play?
Surprisingly, pretty well! Using my iPhone 6, I have been able to run and play the game with consistent frames and little issues.
The major issue I had when playing was actually during registration. I found it would constantly boot me back into the main menu when choosing my name. (This might have just been an issue on my end though.) The loading times were not bad and the graphics were dependent on which model of device you owned, but the lowest settings actually looked decent.
This game has a great learning curve for PUBG veterans to learn new controls on a smaller screen.
How to get PUBG Mobile
You can get the game through either the Google Play Store or the App Store. PUBG Mobile was released by Chinese gaming company, Tencent.
More battle royale on mobile?
Of course, this isn’t the only big battle royale game on mobile. Fortnite just released an invite-only version of the game on both iOS and Android.
