A total of 100 players jump off a plane to an island of their selection with no weapons or equipment. After landing they have to raid any nearby buildings and find any weapons or supplies available. Players can also get weapons and supplies from air drops and crates which fall when a player is killed.

PUBG Mobile has various vehicles available for players to drive around.

The game has three modes – solo, duo and squad. Solo gameplay requires the players to fend for themselves, duo pairs two players together making them look out for each other and the squad consists of a total of four players who play together to take on the rest of 96 players on the battlefield.
