PUBG has lost half of its player base on Steam since January
https://www.vg247.com/2018/06/22/pubg-steam-player-decline-50-percent/
In January, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds peaked with over 3.2 million
concurrent players on Steam.
Since then, PUBG’s player numbers continued to decline month after and
month, and that 3.2 million concurrent peak is now down by around 50% to 1.7
million.
The average number of players has seen a similar drop. This is no secret, and
it’s clearly visible on tracking sites like Steam Charts, and Githyp.
It’s also not surprising, the vast majority of games decline in popularity
over time. For PUBG, however, it’s a little disappointing to see. PUBG has
consistently exploded in popularity with every month, and it managed to break
records in ways we never thought possible.
That said, 1.7 million players is nothing to scoff at. Plenty of games would
be happy to have even 10% of that, and it’s unlikely to affect queue times
in the near future.
This drop is also likely why, for the first time ever, PUBG has gone on sale,
as PUBG Corp. boasted 50 million sales on PC, and Xbox One.
It’ll be interesting to see if the sale gives these numbers a boost.

简单来说，今年一月时PUBG在steam上还有320万玩家，现在只剩170万了。
当然，瘦死的骆驼比马大，170万也是很大的玩家群了。
