Tips

culture
From PUBG's English victory line 'Winner Winner Chicken Dinner', translated as 大吉,今晚吃鸡 (Dàjí dàlì, jīn wǎn chījī, 'great fortune, chicken for dinner'). 吃鸡 became shorthand for both the game itself and battle-royale games in general — including 和平精英 (Hépíng Jīngyīng, the mainland-China version of PUBG Mobile).
register
Slang/casual; native to gamer chat. In a non-gaming context 吃鸡 still literally means 'eat chicken' — context disambiguates.
