So friends as we all know almost everyone right from 10 years old kids to even people having jobs and being busy the whole day still find time to play this game.Right from its release on the pc the game got a lot of followers.It has now went on to become the top among the many other paid games on steam.The producers of the game PUBG corporation have now went on to sell around 50 million copies and have around 400 million players..which is quite a feat.
But some would say there are games like minecraft which have had even more success but its important to keep in mind that this is a complete different genre all together.
So for a little information about the designer Brendan Greene who had before pubg had came up with the mod for arma 2..brought pubg to a reality seeing potential in the battle royale genre.
So now to talk about the mobile version brought to both the ios and android versions by Tencent games has had a great run at the market.So why exactly has this particular game been this successful?READ AHEAD!!!
Even though the game was so popular on the desktop, the team behind PUBG didn’t want to take any risks and launched the game just for the users in Canada. Actually, the scope was to test the game and to see how the audience will receive the mobile version, but this strategy is also a great method for game developers to eliminate the errors that may appear. Going back to PUBG Mobile, the game was in beta test for just a week before its worldwide release.
About the worldwide release,the company which brought the game,Tencent Games..released the it next in china where mobile games are loved a lot(also the company is chineese)
Now about the most important reason why this game was a hit is the game being free.Being free many gamers downloaded it and spreading the wrod even further.The game does have in game elements which can be bought which is another good strategy learning from games like cs:go,where peope spend hundreds or even sometimes one or two thousand dollars to get a particular skin.Also the anti cheat mechanisms have helped in making the game a user friendly one.
These are the reasons which i think or have come across in my review.Please make sure to put in your inputs in the comments section and i would be happy to get to know them.
This is my first post and it has been a great experience and looking forward to post more!!
