PUBG Mobile’s Latest Update Shows It’s Worried About Fortnite

Tencent games – the company behind PUBG Mobile – pushed out a new update for the game earlier today and it brings a ton of new changes and updates to the game. Being a PUBG player myself, I obviously played a couple of games in the new first-person mode, and checked out the shop and the new challenges; and the one thing that stuck out to me, is that PUBG Mobile is clearly worried about being overshadowed by Fortnite on mobile too, like on PCs and consoles all over the world.

If you’re in the Fortnite camp, I’m sure you need no convincing that PUBG is (and should be) worried about its place in the world of mobile gaming. However, if you’re in the PUBG camp, let me tell you just why this update is a clear indication that PUBG is trying very hard to be Fortnite, before Fortnite can come and steal PUBG’s players from Android as well.

Royale Pass
In the new update, PUBG has added what it’s calling ‘Royale Pass.’ Royale Pass will basically unlock a bunch of challenges for players, which, when completed, will reward players with in-game money, cosmetic upgrades, and in-game items.
