Fortnite is the closest alternative to PUBG and has a similar game theme. A hundred players are on the battlefield fighting everyone till the winner is found.

Moreover, Fortnite supports cross-platform functionality which allows a mobile user to play against a desktop user.
Although the game was developed by an American game developer Epic Games, Tencent owns a 40% stake in it.
