PUBG’s hotpants are selling like hot cakes on Steam

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the hottest games around, so maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised that its in-game items are becoming a big commodity the day that loot crates become go on sale. But it’s still shocking to see a digital trench coat on in Steam’s marketplace for hundreds of dollars.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds users can now spend money on loot crates that contain random cosmetics. Other games, like Overwatch, use a similar system. But Blizzard doesn’t permit its players to sell those virtual goods to others. Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, however, uses the Steam Marketplace, so they can.
