India Today  

PUBG MOBILE is easily one of the best games for mobile currently and with all the content updates coming one after the other, it seems it will stay that way.

The recent data from Steam, the platform via which PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds is available for PCs, shows that the popular battle royale game has been losing the number of active players by a vast margin. In fact, compared to the days when PUBG was peaking at 1,584,886 on an average for active players back in January 2018, the current numbers on Steam for PUBG stand at 288,848.
