PC Gaming Weekly: Early Access success for Fornite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

The big rumor last week was that Tencent, the biggest game company in the world, had bought a 5 percent stake in Bluehole Studio, the South Korean developer behind one of the most talked-about games of 2017: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. It hadn’t, though the talks between the Chinese PC and mobile gaming behemoth and Bluehole are ongoing.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has become so huge that Bluehole has created a subsidiary to manage the online multiplayer shooter. This is important, because so many people are playing that it’s making it hard to keep the servers up. Bluehole addressed this today, and we’ll see if things improve or not.
