Analytics firm SuperData has published its 2017 year in review report, which highlights industry spending trends throughout various sectors like mobile, free-to-play, and premium games.

The success of PUBG on PC is no secret. The game broke all of Steam’s concurrent player records, and has so far sold around 30 million copies. But how does that translate into revenue? Well, according to the report, PUBG ended the year with a hefty $712 million in revenue.

In just eight months, the game earned $332 million more than Overwatch, its closest competitor, which itself earned $382 million. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive came in at close third, with $341 million.

12% of the entire PC platform revenue was claimed by PUBG. Surprisingly, this year also saw a non-multiplayer-focused game in the top ten. Divinity: Original Sin 2 came in at number nine, with a decent $85 million.

GTA Online continues to be a hit in the premium PC market, thanks to the continued success and relevance of GTA Online. On PC alone, Rockstar made out with $118 million. Destiny 2 also had a strong performance on PC, generating $218 million.

Samule Is this only for the PC? Crazy to see the XB1 numbers involved also.


Just for PC alone i believe mate.


Yea, this is about PC only. The stats for this game are insane. I had no idea when i bought it, it was gonna be such a big hit.


wait, this is PC only. 712 million in 8 months on one console is outrageous. I totally thought this was every console involved. Wonder what xbox stand alone is.


PC alone!? that number is out of this world! I want to know what Xbox is at as well!!


They must be over 1 billion in sales combined. Its crazy to see how popular this game is, although its popularity will be decreasing due to you know.... fortnite.


They wont make that much anymore. Fortnite has taken over and doesnt look like they are going anywhere.. It is crazy.


PUBG will always have it's playerbase, or at least until they really screw it over with pay-to-win or something. Which i cannot see happening. Fortnite too will also have it's own playerbase. SO I can't see the 2 conflicting too much.


I don't see any conflict between Fortnite & PUBGs. Both have there own playerbase. I love how you're able to build in Fortnite so I'll take Fortnite. Not to mention better stability.

I personal don't like PUBGs, but that doesn't change the fact they're probably earning well into the billions including console sales.
