PUBG has better game controls than Fortnite. This is where PUBG overtakes Fortnite; as in PUBG, we can customize the controls and default controls are much comfortable for a newbie. The buttons are placed at the exact positions which makes it more easier to shoot, move, and jump at the same time.

Fortnite, on the other hand, has poor controls. It doesn't include any customization features, and one has to sacrifice with the pre-built controls. Also, in Fortnite, the 'shooting button' is poorly designed - if you click on the screen, the gun will shoot a single bullet.

In order to shoot in automatic, we need to click on the 'shooting button' only. This is where the complications begin - one can't shoot and move at the same time, unless and until he is a pro who is much comfortable playing in claw method.

CONCLUSION: PUBG is way ahead in terms of in-game controls.

In PUBG, it doesn't matter on which device you're playing, Tencent has designed the game compatible with each device. You can play the game in PC, Android, iOS, PlayStation, or Xbox. If you play PUBG Mobile, you will have phone friendly game maps. If you play PUBG PC, you will have better graphics game maps.

Tencent also offers a feature for PUBG Mobile players which don't pair them with PUBG Mobile Emulator players. This helps to keep both the platforms apart from each other. Thus, only PUBG Mobile players can pay with each other, and Emulator players can play among themselves.

In the case of Fortnite Mobile, you have to play with the same graphics of the PC version. There are no differences in the customization of maps according to the devices. Hence, you won't be able to play the same game with that sort of excitement if your device is not up to the standards.

PUBG Mobile is also available on Google Play Store and Apple Store which helped Tencent to reach a maximum number of people all over the world. In the case of Fortnite, you can only download it from the iOS Store. So, if you are carrying an Android device, better much buddy!

CONCLUSION: PUBG is device compatible. Fortnite - out of reach for many people.
