Both PUBG: Army Attack and PUBG: Exhilarating Battlefield have rocketed to the top of the download charts on iOS, according to industry insider Daniel Ahmad. The two games combined for a stunning 75 million pre-orders between them.

Announced in November, the two games each have unique styles. Army Attack focuses on battles on the land, in the sea, and in the air, while Exhilarating Battlefield aims to recreate the regular PUBG experience on mobile.

This video by Techzamazing on YouTube shows the latter in action, and it’s plain to see that it is indeed PUBG in pocket form and playable on a cell phone.

There are currently no plans to bring the games to the west, but things could always change if demand is high enough. Considering the insane sales numbers in China on the games’ first day, it seems anything is possible.
