PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds sells 1 million Xbox One copies in 3 days

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been a sensation on PC, and its success is transferring to the console market.

Microsoft revealed on its Xbox Wire site today that PUBG has already sold 1 million copies since becoming available on Xbox One’s Game Preview service on December 12. It also revealed that all Xbox One X consoles will come with the game from December 17 to December 31. While that negates potential sales, it adds extra incentive for people to buy or gift Microsoft’s improved $500 hardware over lower-cost systems during the holiday season.
