PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - Mehr als zwei Mio. Verkäufe; Charity-Turnier steht an

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) hat sich laut Publisher Bluehole Inc. mittlerweile mehr als zwei Millionen Mal verkauft. Das Battle-Royale-Multiplayer-Actionspiel startete am 26. März in die Early-Access-Phase bei Steam und knackte die Eine-Million-Marke am 10. April. Passend zu dem Meilenstein wurde ein Turnier (First Charity Invitational) angekündigt, für das momentan Geld via Crowdfunding gesammelt wird. Bluehole möchte den bis zum Turnierstart erzielten Geldbetrag (bis 100.000 Dollar) noch einmal obendrauf legen. Mit dem Geld soll das Charity-Projekt "Gamers Outreach Kart" unterstützt werden.

"One of the main reasons we were able to hit this sales milestone is that we have a dedicated community who has helped us refine PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", sagt Gang-Seok Kim, CEO of Bluehole Inc. "We felt this invitational was a great way to give back and are pleased to make this small contribution to the cause. We are glad to support Gamers Outreach in their mission to provide recreation to hospitalized children and help their families cope with long-term treatment."

"We're absolutely thrilled to work with PlayerUnknown and the entire Battlegrounds community on this incredible fundraiser. As fans ourselves, it's inspiring to see the outpouring of support from our fellow gamers. The funds raised during this event will make a tremendous difference for hospitalized children and their families for years to come", meint Zach Wigal, Founder of Gamers Outreach. "On behalf of our whole team, we'd like to extend our thanks to everyone involved with this effort. Whether you're a streamer, donor, or helping to spread the word - your support is truly appreciated! Thank you for being a part of such a special event, and to Bluehole Inc. for being so generous and organizing this community initiative!"
