The name may claim to be unknown, but if recent sales figures are any indication, these days the game is actually quite well know.
Just 18 months after developers PUBG Corp announced it had hit the 50 million units mark back in June 2018, Daniel Ahmad, Senior Analyst for video game research and consulting firm Niko Partners, has announced PUBG has sold another 10 million since then, across PC and consoles.
PUBG Mobile surpassed 600 million downloads this year.
Lifetime revenue of the mobile game, excluding China, is about to surpass $1 billion.
The esports scene for the game will grow further in 2020.
