Feature comparisons
Type of gameplay
Despite being in the same genre, the two battle royale games are vastly different from each other. While the Krafton classic has more realistic and grounded gameplay that is rooted in gunplay, Apex Legends Mobile's character abilities add a different element to the mix.
Characters
The Respawn Entertainment title currently has ten characters with unique abilities that players can use. On the other hand, PUBG Mobile does not have characters with special skills, and players are only able to use the default ones whose looks they can customize.
Battle royale maps
PUBG Mobile has six battle royale maps – Erangel, Sanhok, Vikendi, Miramar, Karakin, and Livik. In contrast, the EA title has only one map as of now – World’s Edge. Krafton’s flagship title also has solo, duo, and squad modes (four players each), whereas the other battle royale game only supports squads of three.
Number of players
The number of players in PUBG Mobile depends on the size of the map, but in the case of the other title, the number is fixed. A squad of three mobile gamers will have to take down nineteen other squads in a single match consisting of a total of sixty players.
Note: Indian mobile gamers should not play PUBG Mobile as it is banned in the country. Instead, they can play the Indian version of the game, Battlegrounds Mobile India.
