Since its launch on mobile devices, PUBG Mobile has become one of the most profitable games within mobile ecosystems, above Fortnite. Blue Hole (Korean) trusted Tencent (China) to launch the PUBG version for mobile just like Call of Duty: Mobile.
When the trade war between India and China materialized, many were the Asian apps that were removed from the Play Store from India, in a first wave being TikTok one of them. In the second wave, it was PUBG who saw how its application was withdrawn from India, one of the countries with the highest number of users.
Tencent, a company that has developed and maintained the game in recent years, hosts all game data on its servers hosted in China. Since the announcement of the removal of PUBG in India, Krafton, the parent company of PUBG Corporation, has looked for ways to be able to return to this country.
The solution has been found in Microsoft and its cloud storage platform called Azure. Thanks to the agreement that both companies have reached, it will be the Microsoft cloud that store all game data, but not only of the mobile versions, but also the data of the PC version and the console version.
Changing servers will reduce ping
This movement will not only improve the privacy and security of all user data, but also, will reduce the ping of the game, one of the main problems of this title on all platforms on which it is available.
Microsoft has three data centers in India, so it is very likely that before the end of the year, users in this country will be able to enjoy PUBG again with the security and privacy offered by Azure, a platform to which the Chinese government does not have access.
