What is holding the survival shooter in early access? PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is passing the “1 million” mark on Steam.
Recently we reported that PUBG’s sales continue to grow and have not yet stagnated. There is no end in sight for the player numbers. Now the next player record on Steam has followed.
Seven figures, PUBG in record sprint
This week the battle royale hit PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds reached the 10 million sales milestone. And that after only 165 days in early access. An impressive achievement with over 60,000 daily sales on average.
About two weeks ago, PUBG had an exciting duel with DOTA 2 regarding the numbers of concurrent players. Here, the survival shooter managed a narrow lead over the MOBA with over 860,000 concurrent players.
Now PUBG is stepping it up again: Dhe hit from Bluehole surpassed the magical threshold of 1 million concurrent players on Steam.
With excitement, the fans of the shooter can almost follow weekly what new records are being broken and milestones reached. One million concurrent players is a remarkable amount for a game in early access.
So far, it looks like PUBG will be breaking a few more records. PlayerUnknown himself is particularly happy about it and shares his joy with a heart to the community.
Next week there could be another increase in daily players, as an update is planned. Included are: fog, leaderboards for FPP modes and the new weapon “Mini-14”.
