Krafton PUBG: Battlegrounds pushes beyond battle royale toward platform

Krafton’s flagship game PUBG: Battlegrounds is expanding beyond battle royale as it seeks to become a content platform. The company posted record first-quarter quarterly revenue supported by upgraded collaborations and new mode experiments. PUBG IP franchise revenue rose 24 percent from a year earlier, topping 1 trillion won for the first time on a quarterly basis. A new PvE mode, XenoPoint, helped raise peak daily concurrent users without cannibalising existing battle royale traffic.
