In less than five months since its launch on Android and iOS, PUBG Mobile has surpassed 100 million downloads worldwide. In a press release announcing the milestone, publisher Tencent Games congratulated the game’s developers and thanked the millions for making the game a runaway success.
In a prepared statement, PUBG Mobile general manager, Vincent Wang, said that the company will keep raising the bar for mobile gaming, and promised more high-quality content in the coming months.
“We want to thank our committed development team at Lightspeed and Quantum Studios and especially thank the devoted players around the world that continue to inspire us with their passion and dedication. We will continue to set the bar for mobile gaming and look to deliver even more great contents to our players later this year”
After the massive success of PUBG on PC and XBOX, a scaled-down version of the game was launched on mobile earlier this year. The company back in May announced that the game had as many as 10 million daily active players on Android and iOS combined, and is among the most downloaded apps on both the Play Store and the App Store. The company earlier this month also launched PUBG Lite, a less-resource-hungry version of the game for low-end smartphones.
According to data recently released by app intelligence firm, Sensor Tower, PUBG Mobile has generated $50 million in revenues since its launch, and in June, spending on the game saw an increase of 365-percent thanks to the launch of a premium progression pass. The game also recently received a new theme based on Tom Cruise’s ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ as part of a deal between Tencent and Paramount Pictures.
