“Know your positions and prepare your arms.” Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (or PUBG for short) is a multi-player shooter developed and distributed by Bluehole Studio PUBG Corporation. The principle of the game is based on the Japanese film and manga ‘Battle Royale’: Players jump out of a plane with a parachute and land on a remote island. There, they try to survive as long as possible. Alone, as a duo or four-member squad, players fight against up to 100 other players using a variety of weapons, vehicles, clothing and other equipment available on the island. A round usually lasts about 30 minutes, but varies according to the skill level of the different players and the randomly available equipment.
The game is a worldwide success: Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds topped the world record of Dota 2, at around 1.3 million on 17 September, 2017. Player numbers have continuously increased ever since. The new record is now 3,236,027 active players at the same time since Steam has been publishing statistics.
