PUBG: Battlegrounds remains a dominant force in the realm of battle royale gaming. Although updates and announcements from the game’s developer, Krafton, have become less frequent, this does not indicate a decline in engagement or player interest. Recent financial reports for 2024 illustrate that the game continues to thrive impressively.
Since its 2017 debut, PUBG: Battlegrounds has maintained its popularity. Transitioning to a free-to-play format in 2022 has significantly boosted its player community, and the latest figures confirm that this trend persisted in the past year. Krafton has revealed record-breaking earnings for the game, amounting to approximately £556 million or €666 million.
The CEO of Krafton, Changhan Kim, expressed satisfaction during a recent interview, highlighting that the game's ongoing success can be attributed to the company’s keen ability to respond to market dynamics and player expectations. Furthermore, he underscored their commitment to investing in esports and developing new efforts to strengthen their footprint in the future.
It is clear that PUBG: Battlegrounds continues to hold a prominent position within the battle royale landscape, having recently achieved a remarkable peak of 890,000 players participating at the same time.
