PUBG Mobile Earns $1 Billion, a Record
The game has become the most profitable battle royale on smartphones.
According to Sensor Tower, the mobile game Playerunknown's Battlegrounds has brought Tencent $1 billion and became the most profitable battle royale on smartphones.
PUBG Mobile was released in February 2018. This year, its monthly revenue grew by 540%. In August 2019 alone, the game earned $160 million, while in August 2018 it earned only $25 million.
More than 400 million players have installed PUBG Mobile, with 45 million of them joining in August 2019. That is twice as many as in July, when 21 million players tried the game.
The game owes this success to the release of a reworked version in China, Game for Peace.
