PUBG Mobile has finally been released in the West, as Battlegrounds goes global.
In a bid to counter the rising popularity of Fortnite – not to mention the imminent release of Fortnite Mobile – PUBG Mobile has been released in Canada.
According to a new report on MCV, Android users can pick up PUBG Mobile from the Canadian Google Play store.
The report suggests that an iOS launch will follow shortly, although there’s still no word on a UK release date.
The mobile version was developed with Chinese company TenCent, and is said to be a faithful recreation of the battle royale blockbuster.
The biggest changes are the touch controls, which can be a problem for most mobile and tablet ports.
