Buying PUBG Unknown Cash Using GCash

In terms of online multiplayer “battle royale” games, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is probably the most popular. By popularizing the genre, it practically made it mainstream. The game became so popular that a competitor followed later in the year, Fortnite.

To accommodate mobile players, the developers released a free-to-play mobile version in 2018, which sparked even more popularity.

The creators of PUBG monetize the game through microtransactions since it is a free-to-play title. To get more items for your character, you can purchase cosmetic items or battle passes using real-world currency. The currency in PUBG is called “Unknown Cash” or UC.

A PUBG Mobile game can be divided into two versions – PUBG Lite and PUBG Mobile. In the lite version, there is a smaller map and only 40 players instead of 100 players in the regular version, since it caters more to budget devices. There is also a different in-game currency. Battle Coins (BC) are required for PUBG Lite, while UC is required for main PUBG. GCash can be used to pay for both.
