Concurrent users is a term used for the amount of people online at once. That’s over 17.6 million PC gamers rallied at the same time.

A huge push for success to game from the (no one is surprised) was that of the popular battle royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG).

With the holiday weekend still going strong, and many will be glued to their computers come Cyber Monday, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the company cap at 18 million. Only time will tell but what a fantastic holiday season so far for the PC platform!
