How popularity is measured
These examples appear in activity charts; they are not a worldwide ranking within this genre. Steam measures concurrent players in its own store, while Newzoo reports monthly active users for tracked markets. See the period in the references. Sales and downloads are different metrics.

Understand the platforms
PC identifies the desktop operating systems listed in each row. Android and iOS identify mobile apps. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5, and Switch and Switch 2 are different generations. Where only PS4 or Xbox One is listed, that is the referenced edition; compatibility on a newer console does not make it a native version. Cloud streaming and Remote Play are not counted as native mobile versions.
PUBG’s console service moved to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in November 2025. Do not use older platform lists to assume it still runs on PS4 or Xbox One. Official notice
