PUBG: Battlegrounds has clocked up 80,000 new players daily since going free-to-play earlier this year.
Confirming the new figures in its latest financial report, developer/publisher Krafton confirmed that net profit for the company was up 37 per cent when compared with the same quarter last year, even though both operating profit and revenue were down by 6.9 per cent and 7.8 per cent respectively.
94 per cent of the battle royale’s revenue is generated outside of South Korea, where the game is made.
