PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has sold 10 million copies in 6 months

Bluehole Studio announced today that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has hit the 10 million sold milestone. The Battle Royale multiplayer shooter has been available for PC in Early Access since March.

That is a lot of games to sell before an official release, but PUBG has become a special kind of hit. It even managed to have more simultaneous players online on Steam than Dota 2, which has long been the king of that PC gaming community (and Valve owns both Dota 2 and Steam). According to Bluehole, PUBG’s highest concurrent players count reached 970,000.
