PUBG Player Count Hits 1.5 Million Concurrent Users, Over 12 Million Copies Sold

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has reached new heights, hitting 1.5 million concurrent users. What’s more, according to Steamspy, over 12 million copies of the game have sold!

With each new concurrent player count milestone this game hits, the more excited I become about seeing PUBG on other platforms. Imagine the success that will be seen once the Xbox One version launches!

Here’s the newly-updated all-time peak player count, as record by Steam Charts:

Those 1.5 million users were all experiencing the new changes that came with the latest update. Here’s a reminder of what was changed and fixed:

UI/UX

Added the following feature to the Map Help section on the World Map: Marking your character’s current position (Default key set to Insert)

You may no longer modify ini files to set a key bind for multiple actions on the same key

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that enabled angled foregrip to attach to Tommy Gun
Fixed a graphic bug regarding building locations
Fixed an animation bug that appeared when a character used healing or boosting items in the driver’s seat
Fixed a bug that did not cancel a player’s reload if the character was knocked out during the reload
Fixed a bug where an uncooked grenade could explode if a character was knocked out while holding it
Fixed a graphic bug that would cause a black box texture to appear while scoped when Anti-Aliasing was set to Low or Very Low in the Settings
