In case you were wondering how did PUBG mobile manage to earn revenue even though it was a free-to-play game, players who love the game so much have bought stuff in the game using their own money. This includes weapon skins, character skins etc. This has amounted to over $226 million, just in the month of May.

However, it is crucial to note that revenue from the PUBG game in China (which is also published by Tencent), but with a different name (Game for Peace/ Peacekeeper Elite) is also included in the final total.
PUBG Mobile recently also brought in several upgrades to its game with a new game mode as well as new weapons, to keep its players hooked.
Developers have added an Oasis and Urban Ruins for better strategies while landing. The game also has a new race track along with a unique car which they call ¡®Golden Mirado¡¯. Every map will only have one of this car, which means someone will be very lucky to spot it on his mission.
