PUBG Mobile has been one of the most popular battle-royale games in the world but Free Fire is now catching up very fast. Both of these games share the same core of survival game but there are varied differences in the gameplay. Here are the main differences between these two games and which one is better in what aspect.
Gameplay:
If you are a fan of long games with big maps and a clean and large terrain, PUBG Mobile is the way to go. PUBG Mobile offers great and realistic gameplay similar to its PC version. The graphics in PUBG mobile are clean and with its new update, the game just got way better. The fire animations, landscape views, terrain variations, and revamped establishments give PUBG mobile the upper hand here.
Free Fire tends to give you a lot smaller and faster game experience. The games end in approximately 10 to 15 minutes and if compared to PUBG which lasts for almost 30 minutes, it is a lot faster and the action takes place very soon. So if you are looking for a game to play for a few minutes, Free Fire is your option.
Cosmetics:
It is a tough comparison to actually compare the cosmetic sides of PUBG Mobile and Free Fire. Both of these games have their own big pool of outfits and gun skins that will make you awestruck. PUBG Mobile may have a slight upper hand in terms of the gun skins because of the weapon laboratory menu in PUBG Mobile that allows the players to upgrade their gun skins to enable effects like kill messages, bullet colors, and more. The outfits also have variety in PUBG Mobile and again gets slightly better than Free Fire here.
Free Fire undoubtedly has the upper hand if you consider the characters that are currently available in-game. While PUBG has their own characters, Free Fire is way better with exclusive characters like Hritik Roshan based Jai and upcoming KSHMR agent.
Events:
This is a very tough comparison category for both the games. Free Fire and PUBG Mobile have had their own big exclusive events. If you consider Free Fire first, recently the big “Money Heist” event took place which was a collaborative effort of Free Fire and the Spanish Netflix TV series “La Casa De Papel“.
PUBG Mobile can again be considered as a slightly better game in terms of events because of their frequency of exclusive events. Recently, they announced their extended partnership with Mountain Dew that brought in several Mountain Dew Fuel Stations in-game, and soon afterward, they collaborated with famous K-pop band Blackpink and released an exclusive range of themed in-game items.
Esports:
PUBG Mobile reigns supreme without a doubt. Tencent has set up an entire ecosystem setup for PUBG Mobile which cannot be matched by Free Fire. The system of tournaments from semi-pro levels till the invited global championships, it has a well defined and disciplined system. The regional tournaments also take place alongside the fixed yearly leagues which makes it way better.
Free Fire does not have a well-established esports side as of yet. They have had their own set of tournaments but the experience that PUBG Mobile has remained unmatched by Free Fire. The well-famed organizations already compete in PUBG Mobile titles around the world which is unseen for Free Fire.
Conclusion:
From the points above, we can say that PUBG Mobile is slightly better than Free Fire for now but things can change very quickly. It will be interesting to see in the future if Free Fire actually makes some better changes and becomes better than their competitor PUBG Mobile.
