Several media have already announced that the lawsuit has been canceled, after having spoken with the creators of PUBG and Fortnite. So this chapter seems to be over. Although the controversy between the two popular games does not look like it will end soon. In addition, some speculation has already emerged as to the true reason for the withdrawal of the lawsuit.

Since it seems that both PUBG Corporation and Epic Games (creators of Fortnite) have large investments in Tencent. So many consider that this could be the reason or the key to the withdrawal of this lawsuit. While this has not been confirmed.

We will see what else happens with these two games, since the controversy has no intention of leaving them for now. And we may soon have more details on why this lawsuit has been withdrawn.
