Call of Duty Mobile is a multiplayer first-person shooter created by Tencent and Activision Blizzard. It largely succeeds in recreating the classic Call of Duty experience on a mobile platform, with iconic maps and modes from the mainline series. And fans seem to like it. In its first month, it racked up 148 million downloads.

PUBG Mobile is the mobile version of the famed battle royale third-person shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Like Call of Duty Mobile, it’s also developed by Tencent.
