| PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Tops Dota 2 in Steam Player Count Battle royale shooter PUBG has surpassed Valve's MOBA and is rocketing toward a million concurrent players: the Steam stats page is showing that Battlegrounds had over 877,000 players today, giving it the record for second all-time highest concurrent player count (Dota 2 still holds the all-time record at a hefty 1,291,328 players back in March of last year). This is pretty impressive, being that Battlegrounds only debuted last summer and is still in Early Access. This is an incredible achievement because few releases have ever come close to threatening Dota 2's concurrent player number. And that makes sense because Dota 2 is free-to-play and belongs to Valve, the same company that owns and operates Steam. This feat is even more impressive because Battlegrounds costs $30 to play and is still in the Early Access program for unfinished projects, so it is overcoming a higher barrier to entry and an extreme lack of polish. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2017/08/... player_count/ |
