The real beauty of this deceptively simple gameplay, is that players are constantly racing to avoid a blue wall of death that forces the survivors into smaller zones that increases the odds of them encountering and murdering each other. A hundred players (give or take), all running around on a single map and scavenging for armour and weapons. If you’re wondering what all the hubbub is about bud, it’s quite simple. You can thank positive word of mouth, viral videos and constant streaming for the surge in PUBG popularity as people chase the ever-elusive chicken dinner of that battle royale environment. Hell, the numbers show no sign of slowing down either as sales have actually increased with each successive month that has passed. PUBG has done gangbuster numbers so far, with over 5.29 million copies sold so far according to Steamspy.

I’m only a few hours into Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, and that Early Access title has already taught me a few important lessons.
