PUBG gets its first discount just in time for the third map

For the first time since its debut in March 2017, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is selling at a discount on Steam. The excellent battle royale shooter typically sells for $30, but developer PUBG Corporation has slashed the price to $20 for a limited time. This comes as the studio prepares to launch one of its biggest updates with a new map, gun, and more on June 22.

In addition to announcing the discount and the major patch, PUBG Corp. also revealed that its last-player-standing shooter has had more than 400 million total players worldwide across platforms like Steam, Kakao, Xbox One, Mail.Ru, iOS, and Android. It has also sold 50 million copies on PC and Xbox One (it is free on mobile), and it has 87 million players every day. A sale on Steam and other distribution platforms should help PUBG reach even more people — although Fortnite is still free-to-play on PC and consoles.
