PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds released version 1.0 in December, after a long and successful run on PC in early access. The PUBG Corporation put together an infographic of stats giving insight into some of the game’s numbers.
For example, players played a combined 310,000 years worth of PUBG during early access. At its highest point, 3.14 million players were battling it out concurrently on Steam, a record number for the platform.
Check out the infographic for more stats from PUBG’s early access run:
Over 2.2 billion, yes, BILLION, care packages were dropped during early access. While there isn’t data to back it up, it’s probably safe to assume at least a billion players were killed by someone camping the care packages.
As is often the case with high-profile PC games, cheating has become a major problem. A PUBG anti-cheating measure has been delayed, with ReShade, a lighting adjustment tool, being blocked from use.
