PUBG switched to free-to-play yesterday, and many longtime fans were wondering if this would be enough to bring in new players. The answer is “yes”, as the game recently managed to double its weekly peak.
The usual peak for the game was a whopping 300,000 players. But after switching to F2P, the game peaked at 600,000 players. And according to Steam data, PUBG is now the third most popular game on their platform!
For context, these numbers mean that PUBG is really blowing up the game in fourth place, Apex Legends. And PUBG is also gaining ground on the insanely popular second-place DOTA 2 game.
This is similar to the increase in numbers Rocket League had last year after switching to F2P. But only time will tell if PUBG supports this new audience or if new players will eventually switch to another game.
