PUBG Mobile passes 100 million downloads, celebrates by hiding in a bathroom

PUBG Mobile has surpassed 100 million downloads on iOS and Android. Publisher Tencent Games revealed that it has zipped past that milestone in fewer than 4 months since its debut on smartphones and tablets. PUBG Mobile competitor Fortnite hit 100 million downloads on iOS alone in late July, according to data-tracking service Apptopia.

PUBG Mobile is a scaled-down version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds from The PUBG Corporation. That military-style shooter ignited the battle royale genre, in which hundred players drop onto an island and win by outlasting everyone else in a fight to the death. In March, PUBG made the leap from PC and Xbox One to iOS and Android, and it has already generated more than $50 million in revenue, according to intelligence firm Sensor Tower.
