What full form of PUBG is. Who is the famous PlayerUnknown

To this day, battle royale remains one of the most popular video game subgenres. The simple idea of being thrown on a constantly shrinking area and being tasked with survival against dozens of other players is thrilling millions of fans across multiple games. However, even the strongest and most famous productions must be prepared for the time when their glory slowly fades and what was once providing money almost effortlessly, can no longer be sustainable. That’s why it is important to diversify and split forces across multiple new endeavors so that when one falls, the others will be able to provide stability. That is most probably the reason why PUBG Corporation, responsible for PUBG Battlegrounds, is suddenly starting to announce more games tagged with PUBG label. But what does it stand for? What is its full form and who PlayerUnknown is? Let’s find out.

Brief history of PlayerUnknown and PUBG full form

Nearly a decade ago we were overwhelmed by Fortnite and its sudden success. It’s been everywhere and its popularity was unprecedented. While it is available exclusively on Epic Games Store (in fact, this title sparked the birth of the platform), Steam also has its own Battle Royale representative – PUBG Battlegrouds. While the best days of those productions are way behind us, they are still massive, drawing hundreds of thousands of players on a daily basis. However, to not lock themselves and limit to only one game, the developers from PUBG Corporation decided to expand their portfolio. Many people, who are not very familiar with the topic, might wonder what PUBG’s full form is and what role PlayerUnknown plays in all of it.

PUBG simply stands for “PlayerUnknown BattleGrounds”. Despite the fact that the abbreviation has “PlayerUnknown” in its name, Brendan Greene, the original person behind the PUBG Battlegrounds, is no longer working with the PUBG Corporation, which continues to develop the brand.

Brendan was initially working on DayZ mod (which itself is a modification of Arma 2) that was named DayZ Battle Royale. Eventually Krafton, a South Korean game publisher, reached out to him offering creation of his own Battle Royale title, and hence in 2017 PUBG Battlegrounds was born. In 2019 Greene stepped down as the lead designer, taking the role of a creative consultant and he is currently working on a new project.

PUBG Battlegrounds is still the biggest, not owned by Valve, title on Steam. Despite its consistency, PUBG Corporation comes up with more products set in this universe. Not long ago we have learnt that PUBG Black Budget, which is military extraction shooter, will be opening its doors for Closed Alpha Tests. Additionally, there is another production at works entitled PUBG Blindspot which also focuses on military action, though this time in the format of 5v5 teamfights viewed from top-down perspective.

As we can see, the PUBG brand grows, and we can expect more in the future. It is worth noting, though, that Krafton, owner of the rights to the PUBG name, is a company that’s declared to be “AI first” making some dubious decisions, which can be a deciding factor for some of fans. Regardless of what your view on this matter is, without a doubt there is a lot to wait for if you like the PUBG Universe.
