However, while Fortnite has overtaken PUBG as the most watched and streamed game on Twitch for the time being, we need to keep in mind that the trend may change in the future. Previously, the CEO of PUBG Corp, Chang Han Kim, has expressed his wish to bring PUBG to PS4 if given the opportunity, and this will certainly increase the number of players of this game.
