PUBG Corp sees $920 million in 2018 revenue
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
I'm surprised mobile revenue is so low considering the total number of mobile players is higher than combined Fortnite players.
Edit: oh wait I read that bit about why mobile revenue was low. So Tencent is who makes most of the mobile money then? In which case I'd be interested in seeing the numbers there.

Epic is a private company they don't release their financial results to the public.
Isnt Pubg mobile way bigger than pubg PC ? Am assuming Tencent takes a lot of the money or something ?
Surprised they get so much out of the consoles with how absolutely trash it is on the current systems.
Seems like Tencent's cut is above 90%. Valve should adjust their cut.

If Valve wants to take over development, support, publishing and advertising then sure.

We should take all of our existing franchises and make them GaaS. That will make us a lot of money and our shareholders will be happy.
Could have made a lot more money if the console versions weren't piles of garbage completely outclassed on a technical level by every other BR release.
Still PUBG FPP on PC is by far the best BR experience despite all its problems. I'm looking forward to Asian TPP weirdos funding my game for years to come!

Wouldnt this include DLC and Costume sales ? Would be impossible to determine actual unit sales from that number.
Probably why there is no controller customization on the XBO. Not even a dent in the grand scheme of things.
PUBG Mobile is 100% developed in-house by Tencent.
It's because the PUBG market skews heavily towards PC-centric markets (read: Asia and CIS). Interestingly, Fortnite is the other way around.
Pretty good for a game most people here consider "dead" because of poor Twitch streaming numbers. LOL.
It is actually pretty polished right now. At least I havent run into issues in a while.

I'm due for some catch-up, so that much more to look forward to.
It's not as big as Fortnite, so it's dead.
That's how people think
and imagine they got the short end of the stick in comparison to Fortnite lol.
I'll be honest,but while single player games are still successful financially,I don't even know if any single player release has ever made so much money in its lifetime,let alone in a single year !
Can you blame corporations for smelling money in online multiplayer games with tons of optional ingame purchases when they see stuff like that ?
I mean just a friend of mine has spent over 500€ in Fortnite over the course of 1 year LOL. I'ts like people are waiting to be milked and deep down they like it
They are probably only getting the licensing fee for Pubg Mobile. Because Tencent does the Development,marketting,publishing...etc So am guessing they get a big cut.
Basically yeah. There's a few factors going into this number being so low.
- PUBG Mobile is 100% a Tencent product. As you surmised, any revenue PUBG Corp rakes in is purely from revenue share. It's basically "free money".
- PUBG Mobile's audience skews heavily towards tier 2 countries that tend to have lower LTVs and ARPDAUs.
- PUBG Mobile does not have a monetization license in China, the source of their biggest chunk of active users, due to the government's freeze on monetization licenses.
