PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds mobile: 100 battle royale clones jump onto an island

Tencent is bringing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to mobile as part of its deal with the Bluehole Games and its new in-house studio, The PUBG Corporation, but the partners may find that market oversaturated with battle royal competitors by the time it launches.

PUBG for mobile will debut first in China, according to a Tencent announcement on Monday. It didn’t reveal a release date or plans to roll it into other territories. But while PUBG will get off to a slow start on iOS and Android, people around the world can find plenty of clones of the game on the App Store and Google Play right now.
