It has been hugely popular since the Battle Royale style game was launched three years ago in 2018.
The latest download figures would put it behind Subway Surfers and Candy Crush Saga.
The famous online game Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) on Thursday reported that its accumulated downloads have surpassed the 1 billion benchmark outside China, making it one of the most successful games worldwide.
PUBG Mobile, the mobile version of PUBG Mobile, in which a group of players fights one another until only a single combatant is left alive, has been hugely popular since the so-called battle royale style game was launched three years ago.
The latest download figures would put it behind only Kiloo Games, Subway Surfers and King Digital Entertainment, Candy Crush Saga. These both casual titles that are relatively easy to play and appeal to a broad audience, according to data analytics firm Sensor Tower.
Tencent, the world’s biggest video games company by revenue, has another battle royale title in China called Peacekeeper Elite.
The announcement came as Tencent reported its online games revenue rose 29% in the fourth quarter, driven by a surge in paying users for video games in China and international markets. Its two-hit games, Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile, continued to top the rankings in China and internationally, respectively, in the same quarter.
Tencent has said it aims to derive half its games revenue from overseas. Both it's LightSpeed and Quantum Studios and Timi Studios have opened shops in Los Angeles, with the goal of “creating content with original intellectual property that has global appeal.”
