A record many thought unbreakable: has been broken. That's right Dota 2's record for the most concurrent players on Steam has been broken by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. A non-Valve game. A game not even out of Early Acc


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

Meanwhile, the second map is a bit smaller: coming in at 4x4km. Located in a desert city, the map is described as war ravaged in the streets and buried by sandstorms.

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.

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
