PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is moving from one success to another. So far, the battle royale game by Bluehole has surpassed GTA 5 on Steam. Even star Terry Crews now prefers playing PUBG over Overwatch!
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is an unusual game. While most games peak in concurrent players during their launch week and then settle into a lower routine, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds did it differently. The game started strong and has improved every month since. It has now reached a new milestone in peak concurrency and found a new, prominent fan.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds surpasses GTA 5 in peak concurrency
According to the latest count of concurrent players on Steam, the new record stands at 382,561 players playing the battle royale game simultaneously. This surpasses PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ previous maximum of 360,761 players at once for GTA 5.
The next milestone would be reached with over 471,955 concurrent players, which would mean Fallout 4 is surpassed and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds would secure a spot among the top 3 games with the most concurrent players. Then PUBG would be right behind Dota 2 and Counterstrike: Global Offensive.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Terry Crews prefers PUBG over Overwatch
Among the many thousands of enthusiastic players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is now the Hollywood star Terry Crews. The former NFL linebacker is well-known for his impressive shouting in the Old Spice commercials and recently drew attention because he wanted to lend his voice to the character Doomfist.
Overwatch has been Crews’ favorite game, which he played together with his son. However, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has now taken the lead over Overwatch in the Crews household. Overwatch is still popular, but PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has both father and son hooked. The unique feeling of the battlefield getting tighter and everyone trying to kill each other is unparalleled!
