So they specialize in providing mobile games? Maybe a mobile version of PubG to fight with the mobile version of Fortnite? That seems to be the most likely reason for this purchase.

Or maybe they wish to expand their business field to mobile, with new IP? Ofc the mobile version of PUBG is possible, too.
