PUBG and Fortnite are two big battle royale games from 2017 that both still dominate in 2025.
PUBG is more realistic and military-styled, while Fortnite has a comic, colourful look and is more playful.
Fortnite has more variety in characters, skins, and fun crossover content. PUBG offers fewer customisation options.
Fortnite has more active players overall, but PUBG shines in regions like Asia and the Middle East.
Both games have strong esports followings, with PUBG active in mobile and desktop leagues, and Fortnite doing big tournaments and seasonal events.
Fortnite leads in fun, customisation, and popularity, but PUBG keeps its strength in realistic combat and regional dominance.
