The blue graph is overall owners, the red graph is players in the last 2 weeks. So china and sk have proportionally more owners playing the game in the last 2 weeks.
i.e. 50% of chinese owners played the game in the last 2 weeks and only 25% of US owners, so the red graph is bigger.
Damn.
I knew minecraft was big, but now im just thinking how many months until PUBG goes past it.

And half of them are money making bots. Congratulations.
And trickster uncles make up the vast majority of steam users too.

Even if it was, which it isn't, I don't think Bluehole really cares considering it's the most popular game on Steam ever.
And soon most popular PC game ever.

GODDAMN. Thanks for the free publicity, Fortnite!
I thought half of them were banned bots and cheaters who have just kept repurchasing the game?

Why would they be "frantically" trying to push the Xbox version? With how much they made they can take all the time they want.
"Oh but Fortnite!"
I don't really think they care or should care. They could cancel the console versions and just support the PC one and be extremely profitable if they wanted to.

I still dont know anyone who plays this game. I guess the China numbers explain that rapidly rising population. Feel like Im in a gaming bubble. Crazy numbers.

got it too. kinda regret it. super boring. mainly walking and collecting stuff over and over again. snooze fest.
It's going to be a while before it dethrones League of Legends. Honestly, the $30 price point and it requiring more PC power to run comparatively will hold it back from those numbers.

It's a phenomenon that never happened in gaming and probably never will again, deal with it.

Maybe the most popular premium game. I don't know if it'll ever top the F2P giants of Crossfire and League of Legends. If it did that would just be fucking insane.
When Chinese internet cafe players raid the server...hehe
I played now for 150h and it's still pretty fun!

That's just the way you chose to play it. You can always drop to a popular area, and get into the action immediately, and you can play the whole game by hunting down others instead of just hiding and looting. You make it boring for yourself.
yeah that's the other half

Think I've mentioned this before ... PUBG has become a system seller for PCs. Anecdotal evidence, but some folks at work and in my friends circle who were hardcore console-only types bought gaming PCs recently just for PUBG.

...Minecraft was similar and it's quite a bit larger than PUBG. It will probably stay that way due to how much more accessible it is than PUBG ever will be.
Why do you think it will never happen again?

Did you just start gaming? PUBG is, without a doubt, a phenomenon, but it's certainly not the first, nor last.

That is nuts. I wonder how much more sales they will get once the Xbox One port hits.

Minecraft didn't sell THIS much THIS quickly when notch first started selling it on PC. Hell, League of goddamn Legends didn't get 15 million players or 2 million concurrent users just 6 months after it went into beta. A phenomenon like PUBG, when you consider sales, concurrent users and how QUICKLY it got there, is something I can't really remember happening before.
So how long until Tencent releases its "Kill of Glory" or "Kill Top 100" on Mobile to turn more Chinese kids and teens into addicts?

Yep, for a random PC game to pull these numbers this quickly is pretty unprecedented.

No. Its a fun game, but it isn't well polished. I think its a solid game, but nothing amazing. Popularity and word of mouth goes a long way. Steam reviews pretty much reflect this sentiment as well. None the less congrats to the developers, and glad people are enjoying it.
I would give it a solid 7.5/10. Played more fun games, and played better-polished games.

Twitch pretty much is advertising by this point, but yes very impressive.
