According to the new report, Tencent-owned game PUBG Mobile has surpassed 1 billion accumulated downloads outside China, making it one of the most successful games worldwide.
PUBG Mobile, the mobile version of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, in which a group of players fights one another until only a single combatant is left alive, has been hugely popular since the so-called battle royale style game was launched three years ago.

If its goes well then this game will put it behind only Kiloo Games’ Subway Surfers and King Digital Entertainment’s Candy Crush Saga, both casual titles that are relatively easy to play and appeal to a broad audience, according to data analytics firm Sensor Tower.
“PUBG Mobile achieving 1 billion downloads shows that core games, in this case, a AAA Battle Royale title based on the PC IP of the same name, can achieve the same scale in the mobile space,” said Daniel Ahmad, an analyst with Niko Partners.
Tencent, the world’s biggest video games company by revenue, has another battle royale title in China called Peacekeeper Elite. The announcement came as Tencent reported its online games revenue rose 29 percent in the fourth quarter, driven by a surge in paying users for video games in China and international markets.
