In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island where they scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill other players while avoiding getting killed themselves.
The game is played from either a third-person or first-person perspective. It is the first game in the PUBG Universe series.
The game, which was inspired by the Japanese film Battle Royale (2000), is based on previous mods created by Brendan 'PlayerUnknown' Greene for other games, and expanded into a standalone game under Greene's creative direction. PUBG: Battlegrounds (previously known as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds) is a battle royale game developed by PUBG Studios and published by Krafton.
