Player Unknowns Battlegrounds just received their monthly update and that is what has pushed Battlegrounds to position number 2 of the highest amount of concurrent Steam players at once.
Both DOTA 2 and CS:GO have been at first and second place on the STeam global concurrent player charts for quite some time now. Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds has swooped on in and taken the second place on the charts with 519,478 concurrent players, closing the very large gap between first and second DOTA 2 sits at the top with 774,396 players.
The screenshot above is from PlayerUnknown’s twitter account, he posted saying “Thank you all so very much for your continuing support!” Battlegrounds peaked at a total of 523,000 players and is no doubt going to be increasing more and more as Bluehole roles out updates that players are just going to gobble up.
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!
I wanna play but it looks unfinished as fak. And history tells us that succesful unfinished games tend to stay unfinished and devs fly away with da muney
Dont buy it now wait 3 more month dont make the mistake i did. The game is good but need more patches
buy it and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, if you can’t stand single player games and their boring cutscenes and loadings, this is your sh*t
I’m so sick and tired of everyone talking about this trash game jesus, every website i visit has something to say on this steaming pile of shizzle.
Nothing against you dsog guys, but it really upsets me, there’s so many sites talking everyday and even multiple time about this and everything related :S
Trash? Come on, its overplayed but its a great game.
Great game? Rofl, well i went over this multiple time lately, i don’t want to do it again here, i’m sorry.
game is not trash, people are sick of garbage story driven and single player games
PUBG seems like ARMA for casuals and kids, and that’s not an insult. It seems like a more casual, less simmy version of ARMA but with an emphasis on real people–rather than stuffy military types–involved in pew-pew shenanigans. That’s the only way I can hope to explain the game’s success because there’s so many others like it.
It runs on arma engine but the shooting mechanics the hud, the combat are all more “gamey” and less borring simulations. Unlike arma you dont get to choose what to use nor use tactics and vehicles. Instead its battle royal survival. People play it because its objectively the only fast paced tactics/survival coop game. The rest are minecraft clones or borring arma clones.
It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
No way it would be as popular on the Real Virtuality engine, running ArmA 2/3 on high end hardware is demanding enough while PUBG runs well enough on an i3.
unless you’re suffering from severe autism and lack of even poor social skills, i don’t see how a person cannot enjoy this.
Dislodging CS:GO from second spot is one heck of an achievement.
Pretty soon they will get bored of it and forget about it.
Impressive, most impressive.
