Tencent gets exclusive rights to operate PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in China

It’s just like everyone always says in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: China No. 1. Internet megacorp Tencent has revealed that it will have the exclusive rights to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in its home market of China. It will run the servers, and it will focus on complying with (or bypassing) tough regulations. Tencent is also promising to deal with cheaters, which is a growing problem for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, especially in Asia.

“PUBG has sold more than 20 million copies since we released the game in March 2017, and we expect our strategic partnership with Tencent to open up new horizons in the Chinese market,” PUBG Corp chief executive officer CH Kim said. “We will do our best to present a great game to the Chinese users in close cooperation with the company.”
