PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has set another new record. In just a few weeks, the previous sales have doubled from one million to two million. Additionally, a large charity event for the game will take place soon.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is immensely popular among players and streamers. Recently, the battle royale shooter has surpassed the survival game ARK and its main competitor H1Z1 on Steam. Now there is another milestone with over 2 million copies sold.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: “Our players are responsible for the success”
Just on April 10, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had “only” sold one million copies. But the success did not stop and fueled by numerous enthusiastic streamers and their actions (like a car in the bunker), more and more people bought the battle royale shooter from Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene.
Therefore, the developers of Bluehole can now proudly look back on 2 million sales. According to company president Gang-Seok Kim, it is primarily the players who are responsible for this success. Their passionate feedback has significantly contributed to quickly improving the quality of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and ironing out bugs.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Killing for charity
Due to the great success of the game, the developers have also decided to donate up to $100,000 for a charity event with Gamers Outreach. This event allows 32 2-player teams from North America and Europe to eliminate each other. Donations will be collected and donated to children’s hospitals. Under the provided links, you can also donate money for sick children and watch the livestream of the event on Thursday, May 4.
