PUBG Corp. drops its battle royale lawsuit against Epic and Fortnite

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds studio PUBG Corp. today dropped its lawsuit against Fortnite creator Epic Games, via Bloomberg. The legal issue took two rival games to the battle royale world of courts and lawyers, but the episode is now over. We do not know why PUBG Corp. dropped the case.

PUBG was the trending game of 2017. It has sold over 44 million copies on Xbox One and PC. The game popularized a new kind of experience, battle royale, where 100 players land on an island and fight until only one is left alive. Fortnite added its own battle royale mode and has since eclipsed PUBG in popularity.
