There is literally nothing stopping this train. Earlier this month, we reported about PlayerUnknown’s: Battlegrounds surpassing 20 million sales. Fast forward a few weeks and here we are today with the game surpassing 22 million copies on Steam.
What’s really interesting here is that the game appears to sell one million copies per week. PlayerUnknown’s: Battlegrounds surpassed 21 million copies on November 15th and it took Bluehole almost a month to sell one million more copies.
Needless to say that this is the most successful game on Steam. Back in October, the game had over 2 million concurrent players. As such, the game surpassed even DOTA 2’s lifetime record.
Bluehole is also currently gearing up for the full release of PlayerUnknown’s: Battleground. The game will leave Early Access next month, and will come with a brand new desert map. A few days ago, NVIDIA released the first screenshots from this map.
It’s also worth noting that the game currently has Mixed reviews on Steam. Moreover, its latest patch has introduced some performance drops. According to reports, players now encounter performance issues, especially when they loot box from enemies. The development team is aware of that issue and is investigating it.
We are aware that there are issues when you loot boxes from dead players. We are investigating the issue. Thank you for your patience.

Not even the Wambulance can derail the PUBG train, woot woot!
That’s a pretty scathing indictment on the idiocy of the gaming community and not anything impressive that the game is doing.
what idiots this is what pc gaming is all about always online f2p p2w garbage
Oh yes, the oh so honest AAA gaming industry on consoles is so much better, with their honest microtransations, seasons passes, loot boxes and pay to progress in a £50 game. LMAO
lmao, remember when Bungie said no one plays FPS on PC anymore?
No because the quote was taken out of context and misleading
No one is playing Destiny 2 on PC anymore, but that’s because it’s sh#te. Bungie could apparently take lessons from PlayerUnknown on how to make a shooter PC gamers actually want to play.
I don’t know, but Bungie did really say that? Because if no one plays
FPS on PC, where the hell would they play? On consoles with a joystick??
Playing with a joystick is like playing with one hand. Come on, that’s
not right.
just a head up my comrades.
********* Sanctum 2 is FREE for 48 hours on humblebundle **********
* ONLY 40 HOURS TO GO *********
go grab it. for free. : )
I will never understand the appeal of these games. I hate the fact that it’s so difficult to produce a game with any originality anymore. Everything has to involve shooting things now or no one is interested.
I remember months ago seeing the trailer for the game Scorn where you’re essentially a lost soul in Hell. The game looks like an interactive Beksinski art piece. I was so intrigued by the footage. “Wow!” I thought. “Something original!” Then, all of a sudden a f##king gun rises up in the foreground and I just clicked off of the video.
Everything is just dull mindless pew-pew now, except for maybe Nintendo.
I don’t get it either.
Oh look, that popular game I don’t like sold more copies, man I wish it died /s
Everyone knows DSOGaming is a hipster site and anything that is popular is automatically panned.
that author is a pedo and a clickbaity a$$ mfker
He still better than you will ever be. 😉
PS John, I do not agree with this waste of space commenter, don’t know why you haven’t banned him, he does nothing for the community.
Agreed, it’s a boring troll. Just a kid needing attention.
Says you with no life, always negative, always trolling.
I visited PUBG forums on Steam… It’s a mess. Banned Asian cheaters post void threads and there is some spammers who advertise cheating services or something.
nothing good from this game. i dont even wanna buy this game.. wildlands is much better..
oh this is where the all pc gaming money is going sad
