PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile, or PUBG Mobile for short, has influenced and exemplified all micropayment systems worldwide since its release in 2018. According to data compiled since its release, PUBG Mobile has generated more than $9 billion in revenue. This win surpasses even GTA V.PUBG Mobile won more than GTA V
PUBG Mobile has benefited greatly from being the first major PC-based battle royale to come to smartphones. Since its launch, App Store and Google Play users have downloaded PUBG Mobile 1.1 billion times and spent an average of $5.2 million per day, according to Sensor Tower. On the other hand, although PUBG Mobile has reached a saturation in the market and experienced a decrease in its growth rate, it continues to be among the most successful mobile games of all time. This is supported by more than $9 billion in income over his lifetime.
To put the success of PUBG Mobile, which is free-to-play (F2P), into perspective and to understand its magnitude, we need to compare it to another very popular game: GTA V. Since the launch of GTA V in 2013, the income of the entire GTA series has been provided by Take-Two Interactive. 7,68 billion dollars according to the figures.
In fact, there is another situation that we should highlight. PUBG Mobile data shared by Sensor Tower does not include such a large market as India and BattleGrounds Mobile India in this market. So the $9 billion earnings level may actually be much higher. Meanwhile, another popular mobile game, Genshin Impact, has earned a whopping $4.1 billion since its release in 2020, according to Sensor Tower.
