What's even more bonkers is that all of this relatively came out of nowhere. No one predicted this. Sure, a new Minecraft or Grand Theft Auto will see mega numbers out the gate. But who could have foreseen the battle royale survival shooter and debut project from developer Bluehole selling 10 million copies (and counting) before it even fully releases?

Recently, we learned that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' publisher Bluehole only expected the game to sell a mere 200,000 or 300,000 copies in its first year. The game had been released for only five months when it was announced to have sold more than 10 million copies through Steam Early Access.
Let me say that again: Bluehole expected within its first year on the market, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds would ship at best 300,000 units. It has already sold 10 million in less than six months. Again, cr

However, that doesn't mean such a mode is going to be added in the near future, or indeed ever. Greene noted that the team at Bluehole Studio simply don't have the time and resources required to do a campaign justice — although that's not to say that this will always be the c
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds currently does not have a release date, however the game is a part of Steam's Early Access program, and has been since March of 2017.

The game is said to include free-roaming wildlife, foliage and landscaping displacement, tracks and blood trails, elements like fire and water, and highly dynamic weather. It's also expected to include fine-tuned character progressions, various social hubs, and what's been described as a „global-scale player-driven narrative,“ which could also include activities similar to the player-driven content in The Divisi
When Greene pitched the game to Bluehole, he predicted it would see 1 million units in its first month ( in reality it sold 2 million ). However, while Greene was quite bullish in his predictions – after all 1 million in one month would have been a great figure – Bluehole only expected the title to ship 200,000 to 300,000 units in the entirety of its first y
The new map features a war-ravaged city buried by a sandstorm. If that sounds familiar, that's because it was announced back in May , however this is the first time anyone has been able to see the map itself. You can check out both of the new screenshots at the end of this arti
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the Bluehole-developed and published multiplayer online Battle Royale title that has taken the gaming world by storm, might have some hefty competition in its midst. A mysterious game known as Project X aims to take what PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds does well and elevate it to the next level, surpassing PUBG 's 100-player gameplay on an 8km by 8km map with 400-player battles on an even bigger
