PUBG Mobile was released in March 2018 and gained a lot of popularity within a short period of time. Many players subsequently tried playing the mobile version of the game on their PCs and laptops using various emulators since PUBG PC has high-end hardware requirements.

Tencent seized this moment and released an official emulator of their own called Tencent Gaming Buddy. In 2019, the Tencent Gaming Buddy was rebranded as Gameloop as a result of an evolved brand positioning.

The origin of Gameloop can, therefore, be traced back to Tencent Games, who are the developers of PUBG Mobile.
