PUBG’s player base is showing signs of recovery

There was a time when PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the only topic people talked about when it came to battle royale. Now that many developers have entered the battle royale market, the PUBG player base is divided as a result.

However, this trend has stalled. PUBG saw the number of players continuously increase for the first time in nearly 10 months, returning to 1 million players in a row.

Most of the time, the reason for this year’s drop is down to Epic Games’ success with Fortnite and possibly Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode. There are many PUBG clones on the mobile market that have taken over. player of the game.

The game has seen a drop in players since the beginning of 2018. At the beginning of the year, PUBG hit the milestone of 3 million consecutive players, surpassing the Dota 2 record for consecutive players. However, since January, things started to go downhill. Just last month, PUBG failed to surpass 1 million players, reaching less than 900,000 players.

So what makes people suddenly return to PUBG? For many people, it seems that they are tired of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout and want to give PUBG another chance. In addition, the developer PUBG COrp has also announced the launch of a new Vikendi snow map to attract players back. Not to mention, the game has just been released on PS4, somewhat increasing the number of potential players.

So PUBG can continue this positive trend we have to wait and see, but for now, the future of battle royale is very promising.
