PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, commonly abbreviated as PUBG, is an online multiplayer battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of the South Korean video game company Bluehole. The game was first released in December 2017 and has since become one of the most popular and influential games in the genre.
In PUBG, up to 100 players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game’s map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters. The last player or team standing wins the round.
The game is known for its realistic graphics and mechanics, which include a variety of weapons, vehicles, and tactical equipment, as well as a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that add complexity to the gameplay. PUBG has been praised for its deep strategic elements and intense, thrilling action, making it a staple in the competitive gaming community and a popular choice for both casual and professional gamers.
