"PUBG MOBILE" Game Overview

"PUBG MOBILE" is a battle royale game where up to 100 players use equipment and other items found on the map to survive until they are the "last one standing". Players engage in a survival competition within a gradually shrinking safe zone, utilizing randomly placed weapons, vehicles, and equipment items.

On the screen of the last player remaining, the message "Winner winner chicken dinner!" (勝った!勝った!夕飯はドン勝だ!!) is displayed, so players aim for "Donkatsu" (Chicken Dinner).

The service started in Japan on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, and has surpassed 1 billion global downloads.
