Battlegrounds is smashing through records since it’s release back in March and now recent news from Brendan (Player Unknown) Greenes Twitter is that Battegrounds has surpassed the 20 million copies sold mark.
Two months ago Battlegrounds took first place on the Steam Concurrent players charts, moving ahead of the titan Dota 2 with a player count of 1.3 million, 50,000 more than Dota 2. Since then Battlegrounds has been breaking records again and again, less than a month later player count rose and passed 2 million. I have been reading elsewhere that the player count is expected to reach 2.5 million soon but no official sources can back this up.

Keep in mind on a purely ‘copies sold’ basis the game has not even been released with the Xbox One X yet and is purely a exclusive PC title, I wonder what Blueholes copies on yearly scale will be once it’s released on console.

Hello! My name Jak Connor I’m based in Australia and I picked up PCgaming as child when I was around ten years old. I mostly played RTS games back then, putting many hours into Age of Empires 1/2 and Age of Mythology. My love for PC gaming grew and stayed with me as I now have a passion for gaming and the amazing technology jumps developers show us all the time. I pledge that I will be bringing you fine people of DSOgaming the most unique and interesting news I can find!
it’s just a phase
like minecraft, it will fade away with time
minecraft is still very popular
uh, Minecraft hasn’t faded at all.
it’s still all over youtube and millions are still playing it daily. That game has not “died” and it certainly hasn’t faded away.
Look at LoL, that’s a “phase” to people that hate that game and yet it’s still going strong after all these years. Same with CSGO, TF2 etc.
general media coverage of many popular things dies down. That’s how we operate. Do you think the media still covers Guy Fawkes a lot like they once had a few centuries ago?.
Yeah, but generally, coverage for nearly anything always tends to simmer down, that’s just how things work in general for us.
We don’t constantly talk in the billions about events that happened centuries ago. Historians do, but they are the minority that still like to talk about past events, but back when those events actually happened, people talked about them a lot, but with time, the talk of said events began to die down.
Is the game good?
Which one?.
Battlegrounds, I saw a brief trailer and I wasn’t impressed it seems really popular though. Not that popular translates into something I like, I didn’t see why CS was so popular either.
Actual CS was popular because it was good and there really wasn’t anything like it at the time.
GO is popular because of Russians, teenagers,and otherwise poor people.
I dunno I was playing rogue spear and soldiers of fortune 1-2 at the time if I recall. I never really liked the half life engine much for multi player. Left for dead was good though.
disgusting. literally the cancer killing gaming.
It’s literally not.
this is why all dev should move always online
While they might be smashing through records, but the fact still remains the game is being rushed and will be released as an unfinished product this December.
