In early 2018, PUBG broke a record of 3M concurrent players of the previously established Dota 2. But since then, the number of players has dropped sharply, mainly because of the increasing popularity of its main rival in the battle royale genre, typically Fornite: Battle Royale. The highest number of simultaneous players was only under 900 thousand in November.
This month, PUBG returned to a spectacular one million players at the same time on Steam. An important reason that attracted many players back to this game is that the game released the new Winter map, called Vikendi.
The newly released winter map attracted many people to return
The new map always attracts more players, but there are new features in Vikendi that make it so special that many people who have stopped playing PUBG have to return to play again. For example, in this winter map, there is a new parachute system, and there are footprints left in the snow.
The number of PUBG players on mobile devices is increasing
The game has also been boosted through its mobile version, although it is still played primarily on PCs or consoles like the Xbox or PS4. PUBG Corp. said there are more than 200 million PUBG Mobile players currently available. This number is the same as the number of Fortnite players.
PUBG Mobile is enjoyed by many people in most of the Asian countries like India and China. Meanwhile, Fortnite is not really popular in these areas.
Many people believe that PUBG's mid-year slump is Fortnite's rise in the future. But PUBG's upside-down at the end of the year shows a fresh and vibrant future in the following year. Not only games and game developers show a good sign, but this is also good news for the whole battle royale game genre. This contributes to the dramatic battle between battle royales.
