PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Hits 4 Million Copies Sold, New Patch
Three months since its launch on Steam, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds hit a new sales high, with a stunning 4 million copies sold. The previous 3 million mark was broken at the start of this month. With its increasing popularity, being the number-one seller on Steam and one of the most popular games on Twitch, who knows where the limit is now.
The great news for the team behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was reveled on their Twitter, where they’ve thanked everyone for their continuing support. This is not the first time you’ll see this kind of post, and probably not the last.
