    A company that provides market intelligence across the different games market has revealed that in the month of July, the total time that was spent by gamers playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds accounted to 4% of PC gaming. That just shows how amazing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been doing recently with the game growing massively over the past few months, mainly thanks to all the streaming that is done on Twitch. The game is also the sixth most popular game at the moment! Could it potentially become the top most played game?

    It looks like game has progressed a lot. And the update and mods coming out for the game. This goes to show that there are more edits coming. I think people seem to be liking this game more these days.

    4% of gaming might not seem a lot in the great scheme of things, but when you look at just how many games there are out there and the amount of players playing the different games then for PUB to boast that result, it's quite impressive.

    I can see the amount of people playing only growing over time, and while it may not become THE most popular game of all time, even if it just gets a small dedicated following, that will be more than enough to keep the series going long into the future.

    Oh yes, four percent of a very large number for one game is still a lot of people, and quite impressive. I wonder what the numbers will be going forward.

    That can be considered as good improvement already. I mean, initially, I never expected PUB to end up that popular in the gaming community. Then again, it somewhat ended up popular in Steam also.

    From what I've read PUBG surpassed DoTA 2 for concurrent players which is insane for a game that's still in early access. PUBG is looking to be a contender for GOTY at this point.

    Many game titles were competing for the attention of 1%. Hell even the DOOM was not able to make it to the 2%. And CS GO took a lot of time to where it is now. I think PUBG did a lot better with 4% if you ask me.

    It will be hard to beat it this year. Assassin's Creed Origins comes out soon and Star Wars: Battlefront II looks solid but other than that nothing notable will be released.

    I agree, a few outstanding games will definitely have a lot of buzz around them but as you stated, that's about it

    Sometimes I think of this game as CS and GTA combo. As this game lets you do stuff with many small things. I guess it just gives you that feeling. But overall a good game. And it has all the right elements. So growth is expected too.

    I'm really glad to see how PUB has progressed. Furthermore, it's also becoming more popular. On the other hand, its advances ingame is also just as great.

    PUBG is now next CS GO. In fact compared to the CS GO this one is more random. And people are getting attracted to it. You may find that this game is more random than any other in the market. So it'd be reasonable to see how that goes for many.

    Steam playtime, I'd assume, but still cool.

    I guess among STEAM based users the PUBG seems to be getting more popular. And if spent enough time, it's likely to surpass most of the popular games in near future. I think 4% of the playtime is still cool. It's in no way that bad.

    4%, wow! those stats are quite impressive.I am not that surprised though.Personally I am addicted to this game.The graphics have greatly improved and so have the mission upgrade is also nice.Pretty soon 4% will be ancient history when it hits over 10% percent of the total play time compared to other games.When that time comes I hope we will all be here to share in its glory.Thumbs up to the producers!

    This makes me want to see a comparison of all sorts of games and over time. I realize that is a lot to ask but it would be interesting to see how they stack up.

    It's nice to see this game be sucessful. I was one of the players who played the moment it was released and I'm amazed how far this game went. This game is really a recommendation for players out there.
