PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG)

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) revolutionized multiplayer gaming as the pioneer of the battle royale genre, selling over 75 million copies worldwide. This competitive shooter drops 100 players onto an island where they scavenge for weapons and fight to be the last survivor within a shrinking play zone. Its tense, realistic gameplay created heart-pounding moments that spawned countless imitators. Originally developed as a PC mod, PUBG's 2017 standalone release became a global phenomenon, popularizing esports streaming and mobile gaming adaptations. The game's "winner winner chicken dinner" catchphrase and unpredictable matches cemented its place as one of history's most influential and best-selling titles.
