Bluehole and Brendan Greene have released details from their successful launch of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS on Steam Early Access. Currently holding strong as the number one seller on Steam, the game has earned more than eleven million dollars in revenue in just three days with more than 67,000 concurrent users (simultaneous active players).
As the first standalone Battle Royale experience from the creator of the genre, PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is number one on Twitch’s charts, boasting more than 150,000 viewers at a given time. The game has been featured on more than 3,600 streams since its launch on March 23rd.
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter that drops players on a realistic 8 x 8 km island with visuals that show off Unreal Engine 4’s capabilities. Starting with nothing, they must fight to locate weapons, vehicles and supplies as they strive to be the lone survivor.
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is available now on Steam Early Access.

You mean there are so many games like telltale games or roguelike or CoD-like games.Like PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS just a few.
Great now they dont need to finish it likw day z
is the name PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS a placeholder? Even the name is on early acess.
No but it’s pathetic that he uses his nickname in game name and it’s even more pathetic that HE HAS TO WRITE EVERYTHING USING CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE WHY T F NOT!?
Who is this “he” you are talking about? The game creator?
The guy who is the main guy behind this game and calles him self PLAYER UNKNOWN
He crated the Battle Royal genre, first the Arma mod then helped crate H1Z1, and now hes getting his own game with a full studio backing him.
Game is in great shape for early access. Glad to see it doing so well
I wouldn’t call this great shape but ok
In alot better shape than most AAA games on steam in the last few months.
In better shape then which game exactly?
Nothing’s the problem
survivalish games like these sell for so much these days. then people complain about lack of “original” games..
It does look fun, but no chance at that asking price, it’s in Early Access ffs.
