5 numbers that demonstrate the meteoric rise of the $400 million game that's dominating 2017
In six months, one game has already made nearly half a billion dollars - and the complete version isn't even out yet.
That game is the bizarrely named "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" ("PUBG"), a unique shooter game that pits 100 real players against each other on an abandoned island. As each match progresses, the game forces survivors into closer and closer quarters. Whoever survives - and there can only be one - is crowned the winner.

There is no story, and no mode other than the one described above. It may sound like a bare-bones game, but the way each match plays out is what makes it so impressive.
