PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is stealing players and hours of gameplay from Counter Strike: Global Offensive on Steam and not only from this title, but also from other popular Shooter on the platform.

Everything indicates that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is by no means a casual and vain success. The game has positioned itself as one of the best currently on Steam and one of the most played. Not only that, this is the best-selling game since its arrival on the video game platform. PUBG, the open field shooter is becoming a benchmark and its popularity is so great that it is stealing players from Counter Strike: Global Offensive, a game that seemed unbeatable and that despite criticism, was there from the beginning.

The data is very clear, since at least 55% of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds players would arrive from Counter Strike: Global Offensive and that they would also have many hours of play in the popular Valve Shooter. CSGO has seen playing time reduced, dropping up to 50% of the time played to what was the most played Shooter game and causing a 30% increase in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game, indicating a clear move towards the Bluehole title. .

This data was revealed by Steam Spy. But Counter-Strike isn't the only game losing ground to PUBG; other prominent Steam titles like H1Z1, Payday 2, and Left 4 Dead 2 are also losing players and playtime. According to the tech website VG247 , the nationalities of the players who have abandoned these games for PUBG are the United States, China, and Germany. The data demonstrates the power of this game, which is rapidly gaining popularity and promises to be a long-lasting success, provided Bluehole continues to do its job.
