Chinese PUBG players average twice as many hours in-game as Americans
Those numbers come from Steam Spy master Sergey Galyonkin, who hosted a GDC panel about Steam numbers this week which has been helpfully detailed by PC Gamer. Chinese players average 16 hours a week, versus US players’ 7 hours.
Roughly 78% of Steam users in China own PUBG, and on average US players own six times more games than their Chinese counterparts, meaning that players in the Asian country are far more focused on a singular game. Reddit and Twitter keep telling me that PUBG is dead and everyone is playing Fortnite, and they’ve all been speaking English, so that may also be part of the reason.
PUBG’s growth has plateaued a bit in 2018, but it’s still the most popular game on Steam by a typical margin of five-to-one. A quick glance at the Steam Charts will confirm that peak playtimes tend to be at 9:00AM Eastern - or roughly 9:00PM in Beijing, perfect prime time for gaming.
Never mind region-locking China, we’re apparently just playing on their servers anyway.

Ehh, pubg is better. Or the idea of it at least. I play fortnite more right now, but once pub gets those frames 30+ there's no doubt it'll be better. I guess that's my opinion tho and not fact.
Both are good game it just comes down to preferences.
