Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds breaks new record for simultaneous players

The game of the moment … and growing.

It’s still in Early Access, but the voracity of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, the fashion game, seems insatiable. If we did not talk a lot about the 5 million copies sold, this week we made of his record of players on Steam, achieved last weekend, and the game was close to reaching the magic figure of 500,000 simultaneous players on the platform Of Valve. Well, it already done it, in fact.

In fact, there have been 519,478 players, specifically, who were registered while playing Battlegrounds, something that if in itself is a great achievement, you have to put it in context, and it even exceeded Counter Strike: Global Offensive, something which until not so long ago seemed impossible. However, it is still far from the almost unreachable DOTA 2, which reached more than 750,000 players.

What is sure, that Battlegrounds is Steam‘s most played title not developed by Valve, and it has already gone over GTA V and Fallout 4, which is an exceptional achievement for a game that, we insist, is not even finished and which has a wide margin of improvement. For those unfamiliar with it, Battlegrounds is a competitive multiplayer where a sizeable number of players make use of any possible element to get rid of the rest, until only one remains. It is expected that at the end of this same year will arrive its definitive version to PC and Xbox One, as well as to PS4 later.
