PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a standalone battle royale game made by PUBG Corporation and Bluehole Studio. The base of the game was Brendan Greene’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds mod for ARMA III which was dubbed as one of the most popular mods at its peak. When talking about popularity, PUBG mobile has just recently broken a record for more than 400 million registered players and 10 million daily users. Crazy numbers for a mobile game, right? Meanwhile, Apex Legends just shipped its version of team deathmatch—its second non-battle royale mode. Warzone also tries out twists on battle royale, but is nonetheless in the middle of a slump after its new map turned out to be more of the same. Infinity Ward is apparently hard at work on a ground-up sequel to Warzone that promises a "massive evolution of battle royale" and a sandbox mode. That can mean a lot of things, but an evolution of BR useful content with the freedom of a sandbox already sounds a bit like Hunt and Tarkov.
