PUBG beats Fortnite on mobile

The battle royale genre took over mobile last week with the launch of Fortnite, but now it’s PlayerUnkonwn’s Battlegrounds turn to shine. Tencent Games’ port of the PC megahit launched in regions worldwide on iOS and Android on March 19, and it is now the No. 1 most downloaded iOS app in 48 countries, according to App Store intelligence firm Sensor Tower. While Fortnite is still ahead in the United States, it is only the top downloaded iOS app in 15 countries.

PUBG is No. 1 on iOS in countries like Russia, Germany, Canada, and Australia. In addition to the U.S., Fortnite is on top in Great Britain and France.

In terms of revenues, Fortnite has just surpassed $2 million on iOS. That has helped it stay near the top of the grossing charts. Tencent, however, has not turned on in-app purchases for PUBG yet.
