Publisher Tencent has closed down PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds mobile in China and replaced it with a regulation friendly version of the game called Game for Peace.
An analysts at China Renaissance said that:
[quote style=’1′ cite=” title=”]With PUBG Mobile having around 70 million average daily active users in China now, we expect Game for Peace could potentially generate 8 billion yuan to 10 billion yuan ($1.18 billion to $1.48 billion) in annual revenue.[/quote]
Game for Peace received monetization approval in April and looks quite identical to PUBG. For example, when you shoot people, they don’t bleed. Instead, the dead gets up, drops a loot box and wave goodbye. However, Weibo users reported that their progress in PUBG was carried over to Game for Peace after updating their game.
