Microsoft offers Azure servers at a good price, for Bluehole to use in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and thus end the problems when two million players connect.

The success of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game has exploded in the faces of the developers, who have commented that they expected, hopefully, 100.000 players, at most, much less 2.2 million players. The next arrival of the game on Microsoft consoles is a stability problem for the servers, since even more players are added and that means loading more servers that Bluehole has for this game, so the company has searched for a solution that would guarantee the stability of the system and end all the problems.

Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, during the quarterly conference to present the accounts, commented something that nobody knew: “The gaming market pushes the boundaries of hardware and software innovation, with some of the most CPU-intensive applications and content and GPU, the cloud gives us a great opportunity. As an example, PUBG Corp., with the hit game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, not only partnered to make the Xbox One the exclusive console at launch, but it also runs on Azure. "

Microsoft's proposal to help with the problem is due to the fact that PUBG at the moment is an exclusive title for the Xbox One and there are no signs that it will soon arrive on the PlayStation 4. Microsoft makes the powerful Microsoft Azure servers available to Bluehole , which will not have the slightest problem to support two, three or five million simultaneous players on several platforms and the price that Bleuhole will charge, seems to have been negotiated and will be much lower than what they actually charge, so they will leave aside the Amazon Web Services servers, which they currently use and are already struggling to support more than two million players.

Azure, Microsoft's servers, are gaining popularity due to their great power and currently support multiplayer titles such as Titanfall, Hitman, Halo 5: Guardians or Forza Motorsport 7, but PUBG is a major challenge, since there is no market on the market. game that has so many simultaneous users connected. Microsoft is working on cloud services, with videogames in mind, as a means of expanding its business.
