PUBG Monthly Average PC Players Down 82% From Peak

PUBG's monthly average PC player count is a fraction of its peak average player count, according to public records from Steamcharts.

Over the past 30 days, PUBG has averaged 287,622 players and peaked at 637,870 players. That's a far cry from the game's peak average player count, which reached an astronomical 1,584,887 in January 2018. Its peak player count that month was 3,236,027.

Since that peak, PUBG has lost players fairly consistently month over month. The biggest single drop came in May 2018, when the game's average player count dropped by more than 200,000.

Though player retention has improved somewhat, PUBG continues to lose players each month as it competes with other battle royales and the inevitable advance of time.

Considering PUBG's peak was fairly unprecedented, it's not unreasonable for the game to have fallen from that number of players. Still, an 82% decrease in player base never feels good.
