PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tops $11M in 3 days on Steam Early Access
The game went live on Early Access on March 24, and ha since earned more than $11 million, with more than 67,000 active players.
64 players are dropped onto an 8 x 8 km island and have to scavenge for weapons and resources in a last-man-standing free-for-all.
Brendan Greene, aka PlayerUnknown, created the Battle Royale mod for Arma 2 which eventually became H1Z1, so if you’ve given that a whirl, you’ll know what you’re in for. Greene teamed up with Bluehole for the project, and if you think it might be your cup of tea, you can find it on Steam for £26.99, where it has mostly positive reviews.
Have you given this a try yet? Let us know what you thought of the game or if you’ll be picking it up now that it’s in Early Access.

Hollywood_UndeadPete_Schweddy Bought it the first day it launched... Very cool and I'm sure it will be fun. However, at the current state it's pretty much not done enough to be worth the purchase. Running a i5 Skylake system with 16gb of ram and a GTX 1070 (with 2150 OC) struggled to hit 60fps while having massive lag spikes. I refunded with steam about an hour into play time.
Hence "EARLY ACCESS"
READ IT.
Thats why its 30 and not 60 because of dumb people who dont know how early access works. thats why they say "DONT BUY IF YOURE NOT READY TO FIND ISSUES"
Like holy cow people cant read.
They should take off the refund system for early access games and put another pop up with "Are you sure you want to buy this and help the devs by following up with updates and future game content"
Why the salt? Just saying H1z1 is far more playable with it also being early access... Not sure why you're ranting.. I think it's important for people to know that above average hardware struggles to play the game before they spend $30 on the game... Also the game at launch will still be $30. Refund system is fine because it keeps people from losing money if the game doesn't work on their computer or if they decide they don't want it. Before you comment it's a good idea to make sure you think it through fully. Definitely not cool slamming someone for giving feedback on a gaming forum.
