PUBG Revenue Numbers Show How Much Bigger PUBG Mobile Is Than Console/PC

Krafton, the parent company of PUBG developer Bluehole, has released its earnings report for 2021, and it confirms the massive amount of money that PUBG made during the year. The report also shines a light on just how much larger PUBG Mobile is compared to PUBG for PC and console based on revenue.

2021 was Krafton’s biggest year ever in terms of revenue, with more than $1.57 billion. That’s up 13% year-over-year. Total profit was $434.8 million. Krafton is based in South Korea, but the company reported that 94% of its revenue came from overseas markets.

PUBG made $333.6 million in revenue for 2021, including $96.1 million during the fourth quarter. The game transitioned to a free-to-play model in January 2022, so any results from that changeover won’t be reported until later. But in 2021, Krafton said it launched a “variety of in-game paid products” for PUBG that helped increased average revenue per user by more than 300% compared to 2020.
