PUBG: Battlegrounds (formerly PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) is one of the original and most influential battle royale games, developed by PUBG Studios and published by Krafton. The game sparked the global battle royale boom with its realistic survival mechanics, tactical gunplay and high-stakes combat.
 

In each match, up to 100 players drop onto large, open-world maps such as Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Taego and Deston. Players must search for weapons, armor, healing items, throwables and attachments while navigating shrinking safe zones that force intense encounters.
 

PUBG is known for its realistic ballistics, recoil systems, bullet drop and weapon variety, including rifles, DMRs, SRs, SMGs, shotguns and melee weapons. Vehicles such as cars, bikes, boats and aircraft play a tactical role, enabling rotation across vast terrains.
 

The game features multiple modes including Solo, Duo, Squad, Ranked, Arcade and Team Deathmatch. The tension between stealth, aggression and survival creates unpredictable and adrenaline-filled matches.
 

Visually, PUBG offers massive, detailed landscapes with dynamic weather, destructible elements and diverse biomes. The game’s audio design is critical—footsteps, gunshots and environmental sounds influence combat strategy.
 

PUBG went free-to-play in 2022, expanding its global player base. With constant updates, seasonal content, new maps, anti-cheat systems and esports competitions, PUBG: Battlegrounds continues to be one of the leading battle royale experiences worldwide.
