Playerunknown’s Battleground Creator: Single Player Would Be Great

3.6
Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has become a huge phenomenon on the Steam Early Access front, getting 1.3 million concurrent players at one point and selling well over 10 million copies. That said, some people can’t help but think something’s missing from the game – something with single players in mind.

But Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene, the driving force behind the game, is well aware of this. During a recent Reddit AMA for the game, he noted his interest in such a mode – and thinks it would be a pretty ideal fit with the right resources.

“I would love to add a single player campaign to the game,” he said. “I think the island we have could be a great location for an interesting story, but unfortunately we just don’t have the time or the resources for this at the moment!”

For those wondering, “But don’t you guys have a lot of money?”, that’s not really the issue here. The team is hard at work on getting the full release ready for PC, since it is currently in Early Access. On top of that, there’s also the Xbox One version to consider, since Microsoft is pouring big bucks into the game trying to get it finished in time for a holiday release, since it would no doubt be a big release for the company and its forthcoming Xbox One X hardware.

So does that mean Bluehole could revisit the possibility of single player in 2018? While nothing’s confirmed, there’s a decent chance of that, especially once the game’s development is finished for both the PC and Xbox One fronts. Greene didn’t confirm anything, but the fact he’s expressing any kind of interest is good news – and could strengthen Battlegrounds’ popularity even further, outside of what it’s already done on the multiplayer front. We’ll just have to wait and see, but 10+ million players certainly can’t be wrong.

For the time being, the game’s multiplayer side has a lot to offer, and we don’t necessarily just mean the “chicken dinner” that’s up for grabs. There’s more than that, of course.

Xbox A single player campaign would be great to see for this game. I have always been a campaign guy of games before I even try out the multiplayer I usually get a few hours in by myself


Yeah it's the same with me but unfortunately I don't see this getting a SP.


You never know now Microsoft are helping out a little they could team up to do something it could be a pretty cool idea tbh.

Hmm.. seems like a pretty big project they could in the future but personally i think they should keep working on the game as it is now.

They have so many fixes and plans for
MP I don't think they'd simply have time for a SP despite how awesome it could be.

A SP would be great, but let them focus on finishing the game before they start adding stuff that would take people away from the MP.

That would be pretty cool to see how they would do it

Yeahhhh I'd rather them not. They should just focus everyone on multiplayer, I'd never play campaign on a game like this

I saw this on his AMA on Reddit. I don't know how they would make a single player mode since the game is only multiplayer and the whole game game concept evolves around it being a multiplayer game.
