Note that Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is still in Early Access and does not have all the planned features. Some of the things promised to come in the near future are a new map, climbing mechanics, FPP servers and zombie mode. The full version is to arrive later this year.

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has been one of the best-selling games on Steam for 17 weeks in a row and is in the top 5 most watched titles on Twitch. By the end of June, which is barely 4 months since the release, it sold 4 million copies, thus generating USD 100 million of revenue.
