In the wake of the success of Knives Out, a mobile clone of PUBG, the Chinese giant NetEase decided to transfer it from iOS and Android devices to the desktop. As one of the key features, lower system requirements are called than those of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite.
What kind of project is Knives Out?
The game is one of many clones of PUBG from NetEase (the company has released at least three more similar projects). Knives Out copies not only the basic gameplay and mechanics of the Bluehole game, but also coincides with it in style. It’s about a relatively realistic picture.

Since the beta release last November, Knives Out has reached 200 million downloads on iOS and Android devices.
In addition, according to the results of last February, it entered the top ten highest-grossing iOS games in the world.
How will Knives Out on the desktop differ from the mobile version?
According to PocketGamer, the project has already been adapted for PC. Its technical requirements are less than those of competitors, so it is suitable for those whose cars do not pull PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite. By the way, unlike the latest, the PC version server will be separate from the mobile version server.
Who is this NetEase?
