‘PUBG Mobile’ Adds ‘Fortnite’ Battle Pass Like Royale Pass That Rewards You With Cosmetics as You Level Up and First Person Mode

TouchArcade Rating:

While I’ve basically given up on PUBG on Xbox One, PUBG Mobile (Free) has been consistently getting better over time. In fact, I find it quite funny that while Fortnite (Free) on iOS got me to actually properly play Fortnite in general, I’ve barely played it on iOS and have basically switched over to playing it on PS4 or more recently Switch. Before going on too much of a tangent, I’m still pissed off with how Sony and Epic are handling accounts for people on multiple platforms. Now, PUBG Mobile is actually a much more polished experience on mobile than it is on Microsoft’s most powerful console and while it recently got Miramar, this month’s update is borrowing a bit from Fortnite.

You’re probably aware that Fortnite has a Battle Pass that you can purchase for V-Bucks (through real money) that adds challenges that reward you with various cosmetics and even V-Bucks. This in game purchase in addition to the direct offering of various cosmetics like emotes and character skins in the rotating store has resulted in Fortnite making a ton of money across all platforms. It looks like PUBG Mobile wants in because patch 0.6.0 adds a Royale Pass that you can buy and rank up to earn various rewards. In addition to the standard Royale Pass, there’s an Elite option that unlocks even more rewards. The pass also unlocks more emotes if you aren’t satisfied with the basic ones that have been added with this patch.

The other big addition in 0.6.0 which weighs in at 1.7GB is First Person Perspective which finally lets you play in first person. This has its own tier system. It has been great seeing how much this has improved and continues to improve over time. If you deleted PUBG Mobile around launch, now is definitely a good time to reinstall and see how much it has improved. If you’re still wondering about which of the massively popular Battle Royale IPs is better as a port, read Carter’s comparison here.

      Aren't you suing epic for "copying"you? Even though you use THEIR ENGINE? So whynot completely copy them and steal the idea of the battle pass. This is why your game is garbage and fortnite is most popular game in the world.....

        the mobile version is being handled by Tencent, a chinese company, (which benefits from both Fortnite and PubgM) and is F2P

        Bluehole (korean) is the PC/Console publisher and they are the ones suing and still are charging $30 USD for PUBG

        you are kinda like yelling at the kids for their dad screwing someone else's wife
