We have always told people that you can play Android games from the Google Play store, Albeit some better than others due to control issues. But this is one of the rare times that a major console game has jumped over to the Android side.

If you are not familiar with PubG, it is a battle royale survival type of game that has grown a massive player base. In the game you and 99 other players fly over a large island. You can jump out of the plane whenever you want. You then parachute to a spot on the map. Once you land you start running around searching for weapons, clothes, defensive items, etc. Once you gather the items you want you start searching for other people to shoot. Sounds easy right?

There is a small catch though and it is called the Play Circle. Every few minutes the Play Circle gets smaller. This makes that map smaller and forces you and your enemies closer together. This helps speed up a game of PubG and usually makes the game end in a very climactic battle to be the last person standing.

Another alternative to play PubG Mobile on an Android TV Box is a Bluetooth gaming controller that is compatible with Android.

Can I play PubG Mobile on any Android TV Box?

As Skystream only produces high end, high spec Android TV Boxes we have not tested PubG Mobile on any other devices.

What's next for mobile gaming on Android TV Boxes?

While we do not know what the future holds, we are very excited that a massive console game like PubG created a mobile version for Android and IOS. We think this is a huge step in the right direction for mobile gaming on the Android TV Box platform. We expect many more game developers to design big games specifically for the mobile market and with the popularity of Android TV Boxes we feel that they will build in better controls for non touch screen devices.
