In less than five months, online battle royale shooter, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has sold more than 10 million copies in Early Access . That’s crazy. It also recently surpassed 1 million concurrent players on Steam , a feat no non-Valve game has ever accomplished. Further, it is also close to breaking the all-time concurrent player record currently held by Dota 2 (1,291,328 players). __ That’s also cr”No, editing any game files to gain an unfair advantage is against the Rules of Conduct. This includes changing any game configuration files to result in changes that cannot be made via the in-game settings menu.” “A lot of the [internal team], they really couldn’t believe it, ” Green said while speaking to Polygon . “There was a few veterans of the game industry that were [saying], like, ‘No, no. 200,000 [or] 300,000 the first year.’ But then when we hit that first million, there were a lot of smiles around the offi PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been getting a lot of coverage lately, and rightly so. Besides being one of the most popular games on Steam , PUBG will launch on concoles first on Xbox One , and has a new gun on the way. Today, several screenshots showing off the game’s upcoming foggy weather mechanic were released and they the impact it’s going to have isn’t hard to Green shared another one of his loftier aspirations also. When asked about the potential for destructible environments to be added to the game, he said that he “would like to add more destruction,” but noted that it would take its toll on server performance, so that would have to be taken into acco Again, this is no small feat for the development team. The nighttime setting requires plenty of work in its own right, and won’t be ready to go live for some time. Still, it’s an intriguing glimpse into the future of the game, and a good sign that the studio is listening to player feedbRecently, we learned that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ publisher Bluehole only expected the game to sell a mere 200,000 or 300,000 copies in its first year. The game had been released for only five months when it was announced to have sold more than 10 million copies through Steam Early Access. Speaking to fans on Reddit during an AMA, Greene stated that he’d be very interested in pursuing a single-player campaign for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in the future. “I think the island we have could be a great location for an interesting story,” said the develo Battlegrounds looks set to go from strength to strength, not least when Xbox One players have a timed-exclusive opportunity to try it out for themselves. With a nighttime setting potentially coming soon, and the prospect of destructible environments and story content in the far-flung future, it’s clear that Greene and his team hope to keep up the game’s momentum going by making sure that it continues to grow and evo What’s even more bonkers is that all of this relatively came out of nowhere. No one predicted this. Sure, a new Minecraft or Grand Theft Auto will see mega numbers out the gate. But who could have foreseen the battle royale survival shooter and debut project from developer Bluehole selling 10 million copies (and counting) before it even fully releases? Well, the game’s director and designer Brendan Greene sure didn’t. And Bluehole even less The new patch will also add a foggy weather mechanic to the game, which will make environmental awareness even more crucial for top tier play while also improving the game’s overall aesthetic presentation. The foggy weather mechanic was partially unveiled on Twitter yesterday to celebrate PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds concurrent users triumph on Steam recently, which saw the game surpass Dota 2 on its way to one million concurrent us While the changes announced for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in the latest patch are exciting, fans are still holding out hope for some more news regarding the vaulting mechanic that was hinted at months ago. That feature would drastically alter the way the game is played, and with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds selling over 10 million copies , there’s an argument to make big changes like vaulting as soon as possible – the lower the learning curve the better for a game that has quickly become the premier online multiplayer title of choice for milli When Greene pitched the game to Bluehole, he predicted it would see 1 million units in its first month ( in reality it sold 2 million ). However, while Greene was quite bullish in his predictions — after all 1 million in one month would have been a great figure — Bluehole only expected the title to ship 200,000 to 300,000 units in the entirety of its first y PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently available in Early Access form on PC — via Steam — for $29.99 USD.
