In the following period, the number of online game players of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" bucked the trend and increased, and did not stagnate due to the objective factor of hardware.
Five days after the open beta, the number of simultaneous online players exceeded 200,000. Ten days after the open beta, it once again exceeded 300,000. And after "PUBG" launched the smooth mode in a targeted manner, the data has steadily increased.
Although it pales in comparison to those phenomenal games that have created millions of players online at the same time.
But as the first domestic game to take the first step into the battle royale genre, this public beta data has exceeded many people's expectations.
Even among the many games owned by the two major domestic game companies, this data is definitely ranked high. The only one that can stabilize "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is the most anticipated online game launched by Goose Factory last year.
The open beta of "Sword and Soul" is now open.
With Goose Factory spending all its publicity resources and building overwhelming momentum, the 2014 public beta of "Blade and Soul" set a record that shocked the industry with millions of players online at the same time on the first day, and attracted countless players to follow it.
And since "Blade and Soul", there has never been a game that has reached such a high level in the domestic PC game market. As the mobile game market gradually rises, PC games are gradually banned and become the mainstream of the game market...
Many people regard "Sword and Soul" as a masterpiece that brings an end to the "Golden Age of PC Gaming".
However, I didn’t expect that the PC game market, which was regarded as dead end by industry insiders, would actually have works that could make waves in it, and it was a type of game that had never been seen in the domestic market.
Battle royale game!
Although it has the backing of Zhuchang, the second largest game company in the country, even its eldest brother Tenda has given up hope on the PC gaming market. What kind of noise Zhuchang, the second-largest player in the industry, can make is just a desperate struggle.
Unexpectedly, the result was far beyond the expectations of the industry. Players paid the bill. Not only did they pay the bill, they also enjoyed it and immersed themselves in it. There was also a "human-to-human" phenomenon.
Topic discussions and terms related to "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" began to appear widely on major game websites and discussion forums, and countless players praised this game.
Groundbreaking FPS gameplay and extremely challenging battle royale competition. Only one person among a hundred people can stand out and become the chosen one of "Good luck, eat chicken tonight"!
This mode undoubtedly fully arouses the desire to win in the players' hearts. As long as they win the honor of winning the chicken game, they will immediately share the screenshots and spread them to show off to other players.
Under the psychological stimulation of this clever comparison, the player's unwillingness to admit defeat is stimulated. Is it difficult to win chicken? Let me give it a try!
Although some players' computers are not powerful enough to support the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Internet cafes can. If not, you can go to an Internet cafe to play. It's just right for you to play with your friends.
As for the hardware of some Internet cafes that are not good, then find an Internet cafe where you can play. If there are none, go to a friend's house where the computer at home can play, or you can find a way to upgrade your own equipment...
There are always more solutions than difficulties. If you can't play, just create conditions to play. No problem can stop players' enthusiasm for exploration.
What's more, a considerable number of domestic "h1z1" players have noticed the emergence of this domestic battle royale game. After trying it out, they found that this game is not inferior to "h1z1" at all.
And with the blessing of domestic sentiment, it is even better than that. At least it is original and does not require an accelerator!
Although among the players of "h1z1", many players have a special liking for the survival mode of "h1z1", but after playing the zombie mode for so many years, they are really tired of it after playing too much.
From CrossFire to CSOL, for the vast majority of FPS players, the biochemical mode is nothing new after playing it since childhood.
The player group's desensitization to zombie elements is reflected in all aspects, including movies based on this theme, let alone games.
The battle royale has returned to its original intention, regaining the competitive core of having endless fun fighting with others, with larger maps and richer competitive elements, and innovating on the traditional FPS game mode.
In particular, the ultra-long range strike mode is more in line with the battlefield positioning, not to mention there are many novel gameplay waiting for players to explore.
The appearance of such a brand-new domestic game in front of domestic players is like a drop of nectar flowing into the hearts that have been dry for a long time, making countless players feel excited and unable to control their inner excitement.
After all, it has been a long time since domestic games released a new game that refreshes players in terms of gameplay!
Especially after experiencing it personally, I can’t stop trying this novel game mode. It’s so fun!
The unique excitement of the battle royale game and the freshness that makes players enjoy it have become the straw that overwhelms their prejudices.
After all... in the final analysis, games have to be fun. Is there anything more important than fun?
Although it debuted early, battle royale, a gameplay that has long been recognized by players around the world, can still attract countless players at this point in time.
Even if some players really don’t have the objective conditions to play, there are still live streaming platforms for them to watch!
A group of leading anchors initially broadcast "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", but they just took over the company's promotion tasks and thought they were just completing the tasks.
However, unexpectedly, after several live broadcasts, both the popularity and the barrage of the live broadcast room have increased to varying degrees. The audience has no resistance to the freshness brought by the live broadcast of this new game.
Even after the anchor returned to the live broadcast of League of Legends, he still urged him from time to time to live broadcast "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and even went so far as to coerce and induce him, giving out a lot of gifts to persuade the anchor.
After all, among the live broadcast audience, there are many viewers who do not have the time and energy to play games, so they choose to watch others play to satisfy their own needs.
Compared with the student party who only have energy but no money, most of this audience has money to pay for their own preferences.
Being an anchor, after all, is to serve the audience. Since everyone strongly requested it, and the live broadcast effect is indeed better than the original, the anchor naturally agreed "half-heartedly".
In addition to some leading anchors, there are also some game anchors with unique vision, who have seen the potential of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in the live broadcast of this game.
Although League of Legends is the dominant player in game live streaming, there are many top anchors and competition is fierce. Instead of hanging from a tree, it is better to find another way.
A new game means new possibilities. Instead of being an unknown anchor in League of Legends, it is better to bet on this game and try to see if you can make a difference.
I would rather make chicken heads than phoenix tails.
And as some game anchors began to taste the benefits, more and more anchors tried to live broadcast the game.
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has gradually formed a prototype of the live broadcast ecosystem on the live broadcast platform from top to bottom. The growing popularity all shows that the audience of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is not a minority.
Zhou Dongsheng not only underestimated the enthusiasm of the players, but also underestimated the huge impact of the live streaming resources he invested on the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
After all, the chicken-eating craze that swept the world in the past life also started with the promotion of the live broadcast industry. With the help of countless anchors, this craze has intensified.
Although it was a mistake, the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" still has a tendency to "repeat the same mistakes" due to accidental collisions.
This also further boosted Zhou Dongsheng's confidence in doing well in the "PUBG" e-sports competition.
