PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a leading title in the increasingly popular battle royale genre. 100 players drop in on the map and attempt to survive the longest in a bloody battleground full to the brim with lethal weapons. This title blends the survival and shooter genres perfectly. As the play zone shrinks, players are forced out of hiding and into close-action combat, turning a fight for survival into an all-out war.
Originally created as an ARMA 2 mod, the standalone game has been a huge success, breaking records for the sheer number of players playing. PUBG’s esports scene hasn’t quite developed yet, but it is incredible popular on streaming platform Twitch. Organisations are investing in the future of PUBG esports and big things are expected.
