55% of PUBG players are CS:GO players

55% of PUBG players own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and now they play CS:GO less because of PUBG.

PlayerUnknown’s battlegrounds continues to be at the top of Steam’s charts, but not everyone is new to the shooter genre.

A lot of them who are playing PUBG are switching from other popular shooters on Steam to the ones they used to play before Battlegrounds came out. In this case: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

According to a survey from Steam Spy, 55% of Battlegrounds owners are also Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players. Furthermore, they used to play 50% more CS:GO than normal players before buying PUBG, but now their playtime has decreased by 30%.

What this means is that Battlegrounds is drawing a large consumer base from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and the same goes for H1Z1: King of the Kill, Payday 2, and Left 4 Dead., according to information from the website

In all cases, almost a lot of people have switched to PUBG, proving that the title is more than just a passing phenomenon.

Interestingly, this report also shows that the US, China and Germany make up the majority of the players. Development in China is something that every online game company is pursuing nowadays, and this is also a big reason for PUBG’s rapid growth in a short time.

The success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will certainly be similar when it comes to consoles, when the series has yet to reach this fertile market.
