PUBG MOBILE is a competitive survival shooter where 100 players parachute onto a large island. The last person or team alive wins. Players must scavenge for weapons, armor, and supplies while a deadly play area gradually shrinks, forcing encounters.

Gameplay is optimized for touchscreens with virtual joysticks for movement and customizable on-screen buttons for aiming, shooting, and interacting. Matches are tense and strategic, balancing combat, stealth, and positioning.

Multiple maps and modes are available, including shorter matches and team-based options. The core experience revolves around realistic ballistic mechanics, vehicle use, and adapting to the unpredictable closing circle.
