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.

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.


As it turns out, though, fans of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds won't have to wait long - the game's official Twitter account announced that Bluehole Studio would be adding a new weapon to the game in the near future, with a public test server update coming in the next few days. The weapon, a Mini-14, will be available in crates and scattered across the map, so competitive players will want to test the new toy as soon as possible since it could end up becoming a prevalent force in pubg online guide|https://pubgplayground.com/ 's early-to-mid game com


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


It has been a while since the last patch for the wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was last released. Ever since developer Bluehole Studio made the decision to abandon the game's patch schedule in favor of creating better, more meaningful updates when they were implemented, players have been waiting for a substantial new content rele

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.

Bluehole Studio has promised that, alongside the gun and fog additions, there will be FPP leaderboards and a number of bug fixes coming to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the update. The full list of changes coming in the new patch have yet to be revealed, but given that the changes are going live on a public test server soon, fans should expect more details shor


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
