PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has amassed more than 400 million players across all currently available platforms, developer PUBG Corp. announced today. That figure includes more than 50 million copies of the game sold on Windows PC and Xbox One, the company said.
That means that somewhere around 350 million of those total players are playing the game on mobile devices. PUBG is available on Android and iOS as a free-to-download game.
According to announcement from PUBG Corp., PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds draws more than 87 million players each day across all platforms and 227 million players per month.
In March, PUBG creator Brendan Greene said at the Game Developers Conference that his battle royale game had sold 40 million copies in its first year.
In an effort to sell even more, the game’s publisher is discounting the game on Steam for a limited time. PUBG for PC on Steam is on sale for $19.99 (33 percent off its regular price). This Friday, June 22, PUBG Corp. will release a new map for the game named Sanhok.
