PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Officially Has Over 30 Million Players
PlayerUknown’s Battlegrounds has arguably been the biggest game of the year, and now that it’s officially out of Steam Early Access on PC, the numbers are continuing to grow. In celebration of the 1.0 PC version launch today, PUBG Corporation has announced that their popular title officially has over 30 million players across both the Xbox One and PC!
If you’ve been following the dominance of PUBG on PC since its original release in March, you would know that there has been a steady increase in player count over the months, making it a standout title in its genre, and in the industry overall. Here is what the CEO of PUBG Corp. and the Executive Producer of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, CH Kim, had to say:
“The day has arrived. Nine months ago, we celebrated PUBG’s release into Early Access and began collaborating with our players to bring PUBG Corp.’s Battle Royale vision to life. Now we have a new milestone to celebrate: after a tremendously successful and instructive Early Access phase, we’re launching PUBG’s version 1.0 on PC, which will include our new desert map Miramar, vaulting and climbing, and all of the other features the community has been helping us refine. We’re excited to begin the second part of PUBG’s journey, and this is just the start of our commitment to the development of this game.
2017 has been a phenomenal year for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. With over 30 million players globally across PC platforms and the Xbox Game Preview program, we owe the success we’ve experienced this year to the community, whose passion has inspired all of us here at PUBG Corp. to make the very best game we can. We’ll continue to fine tune the Battle Royale experience and will introduce additional in-game content, including new crates, to become available in early 2018.”
The developer also outlined the upcoming roadmap with a post on the PUBG Steam forum. Within the post, they promise overall balancing and polishing, to make it a smooth experience.
