PUBG: Battlegrounds

PUBG: Battlegrounds, originally titled PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), is a 2017 battle royale game published by Krafton, and developed by Krafton's PUBG Studios. Inspired by the Japanese film Battle Royale (2000), the game is based on mods created by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, and was developed under his creative direction. Played from either a third-person or first-person perspective, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island where they are tasked to scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill other players while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game's map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into an ever-tightening space to force encounters.
