Like any other battle royale titles, PUBG follows the same iconic formula. Players will be deployed on a remote island to fight against each other until only one player or one squad is left. The remaining player(s) will be declared as the winner for that match. Like most battle royale, all players will land on the ground without any weapons on their hands. They must scavenge for items that are randomly scattered on the map. The battlefield is also shrinking over time and players must keep themselves within the safe zone to survive. PUBG may not have a deep storyline or season-based plot (except the later part) but it comes with many equally engaging campaigns that players can freely explore.
