8 months after release and PUBG is still showing little signs of slowing up. Check out the infographic at the Xbox Wire post for all kinds of chicken dinner stats. We can add another 5 million more after the folks at Xbox announced the milestone. The latest count from SteamSpy shows nearly 33 million owners. Epic Games’ Fortnite is turning into a cultural phenomenon, but PUBG is still sitting comfortably at the top of Steam.

We’re almost at a year since I first published this article, and the Battle Royale genre has exploded to heights none of us would ever have imagined. Barely a day goes by where I don’t fire PUBG up for at least a match or two. Starting later today through July 5th, you can pick up PUBG for $19.99 ($10 off its usual price).īluehole also took a portion of the announcement to say “there’s still so much we can do to make PUBG a better game for our players.” Yep, there are parts of the game that are still frustrating (loot density, performance issues), but damn I love it. The devs are celebrating the huge milestones with a PUBG sale. 87+ million log in and play every day across all platforms. Toss in PUBG Mobile, and there are over 400 million registered PUBG players worldwide. That’s combined sales between Xbox One and PC. PUBG has pushed past 50 million units worldwide according to the developer. Check it out and see where your favorite games stack up. Arstechnica dumped the total player count data for more than 13,000 games into a CSV file. The data leak was fixed on July 1, so that number is higher by now. According to the data, the number of PUBG Steam owners sits at more than 36,604,134. Plus, Battlegrounds was sold via their own website during the closed beta period.Ī recent Valve leak of game player counts gives us a very accurate look at PUBG’s total sales on Steam (as of July 1, 2018). Think of them as ballpark figures instead. These Steamspy numbers aren’t set in stone for any game. Everyone’s favorite source of Steam stats, Steamspy, shows around 235,000 copies (plus/minus 13,800).

It’s actually more when you factor in Steam’s cut (30% is the number floating around). That’s more than 360,000 copies sold at $30/each. Developer Bluehole, best known for Tera before last week, scored big. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds finally hit Steam Early Access and what we all thought would happen did happen. And a big chunk of King of the Kill’s fanbase was looking for a fresh take on Battle Royale. The biggest Twitch streamers were entertaining thousands every weekend closed beta. The Battle Royale genre is at its peak thanks to H1Z1: King of the Kill. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had all the markings of being a success.
