it sounds like PUBG It has done well on its own since the free-to-play game, apparently attracting around 80,000 daily news subscribers.
More and more live service games are starting to be free to play, PUBG did so in January of this year, and fall guy Did the same thing in June. A good chunk of that will likely attract more players, especially since all the big, successful live-service games like Apex Legends and Destiny 2 are free-to-play. According to developer Krafton’s preliminary earnings report for the first half of 2022, PUBG free-to-play certainly helps.
The report states that PUBG “has seen a steady influx of more than 80,000 new users every day since it went free-to-play in January.” To give you an idea of how many new players there are, PUBG went free-to-play 214 days ago, meaning there have been over 17 million Players register to play this game.
That’s obviously a huge number of players, and it’s likely that most of them didn’t stick around like the average player. But it probably doesn’t matter if all of those users stayed, as the report also noted that “average revenue per user increased by more than 20% sequentially.”
PUBG Mobile Continues to perform well and currently ranks as the “No. 2 mobile game sales in the world”.
The report outlines another of its projects, which is based on the South Korean fantasy series The Bird That Drinks Tears. Little is known about the project at this time, but Krafton has started active development on the project and is currently recruiting for the project.
The Tear-Drinker adaptation won’t be limited to just one game, as various mediums are planned, as Krafton sees the series’ lore and world as full of potential.
