One of the most popular games to play online is celebrating a big milestone. Tencent and PUBG Corp are officially confirming that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile has reached over 10 million daily active users around the world.
The mobile version, also known as PUBG Mobile, was released on iOS and Android on March 19. In less than a week it reached the top downloaded spot in more than 100 countries. It’s available to download for free with in-app purchases.
Recently PUBG Mobile added the new second map, Miramar. Miramar features a desert setting with several large cities. The mobile game has been nominated for Best Breakthrough Hit and Best Community Building Game at the 2018 Google Play Awards.
PUBG Mobile is the successful mobile version of the incredibly popular Battle Royale survival-shooter, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. PUBG drops 100 players on an island in a massive free-for-all deathmatch. Everyone has only a single life, and must scrounge the area for supplies, weapons, and vehicles.
A fun selection of stats has been released. Apparently the average survival time is only about 14 minutes.
PUBG originally released via Steam Early Access last year. It’s also available via Xbox Games Preview on Xbox One.
Despite stiff competition from Fortnite’s equally popular Battle Royale mode, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds remains the most played game on Steam, with around 1-1.5 million players at any given time.
PUBG Mobile is available on iOS and Android. It’s rated T for Teen with Violence and Blood.
