PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds hits 1 million concurrent Steam players

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has firmly established itself as the new king of the Steam PC gaming community by regularly having more players than Dota 2 and hitting 1 million concurrent players. At the time of this report, Bluehole’s Battle Royale shooter is at 1.02 million people all simultaneously connected for some last-person-standing action, according to Steam data. Dota 2, which is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle area run by Steam owner and operator Valve, is the only other game to ever hit 1 million concurrent players.

Not bad for a game that’s still in Early Access, an incomplete state in which a studio sells a product and collects feedback from players — and money from sales — to help fuel development.
