(Pocket-lint) - The world online has exploded into battle royale madness, with the launch of a couple of huge games. One is Fortnite and the other is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, or PUBG to its friends.
We've talked about Fortnite separately: that game is similar to PUBG, but Epic - the game's developer - describes it as a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead, as there's a building element to it, which doesn't come into PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
The important thing about these huge titles is that they are now both mobile games - hence PUBG Mobile - as well as being available across other platforms.
PUBG Mobile: The essential details
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Mobile game is published by Tencent Games and is available for Android and iOS (i.e., iPhone).
The game is currently undergoing a phased roll-out, from 19 March 2018, but it is a global roll-out and it's available in the UK and other territories on Android. The iOS version is also available.
You can find the Android version on Google Play and the iOS version on the Apple App Store.
PUBG Mobile minimum requirements
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Mobile game is a persistent online game, so you'll need a connection to the internet to play - be that via mobile network or Wi-Fi - but the lower the ping the better.
The tech specs for Android are Android 5.1 and higher and at least 2GB of RAM. We've played on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and experienced no problems.
