PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS sales have now reached 10 million, the game’s creative director, Brendan ‘PLAYERUNKNOWN’ Greene, has announced.

　　Taking to Twitter, Greene thanked everyone for their support. “10 MILLION SOLD! Never did I think we would reach such a number!”, he tweeted. “Thank you all for your continuing support of the @PUBATTLEGROUNDS team <3.”

　　PUBG’s Early-Access went on sale 6 months ago and managed to hit 8 million sales by August 21. Based on the current sales figures, this means that the game sold another 2 million copies in just two weeks.

　　As covered earlier, PUBG also set a new mark for peak concurrent users with over 970,000, highlighted by the strong reception at the PUBG Invitational at Gamescom 2017. Developer Bluehole shared some interesting data from the four-day PUBG Invitational tournament event:

　　92 players from 19 different countries globally competed in four different PUBG game modes (solo, duo, duo-fpp, squad)
