#GamingBytes: Why Indian gamers should play Fortnite instead of PUBG?
PUBG and Fortnite are cult-favorite titles with millions of players. Both follow the basic Battle Royale rules of parachuting in a location, collecting weapons and being the only survivor(s) to win. The games are often compared because they bring their own distinct charm to a familiar premise. Let us compare the two games and understand why Fortnite is a tad better for Indian gamers.
