Despite popularizing the Battle Royale genre, the shooter game has seen its player count dip by over 50% since the beginning of the year.

Hackers frequently appear in matches, messing with actual players in order to advertise their work.

Towards the end of the clip, Grzesiek appeared to address the issue.

A big one is that PUBG 's key competitor, Fortnite , is a free-to-play game. Therefore, if more casual gamers are trying to get into the Battle Royale scene with friends, it's a much easier to start playing Fortnite than it is to play PUBG ** , and it helps that Fortnite is practically on every major platform out there. Players have also lost trust in Bluehole over loot box concerns, as they sell keys to unlock the loot boxes for real money (which can then be sold on the Steam market afterwards). Add to the fact that quality improvements have been slow in development, whereas Fortnite gets special events and sizable overhauls practically every w<br>
