The company said PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS monthly active users are growing by double digits on PC and console, and that a 2027 content update will mark the series' 10th anniversary.
KRAFTON's nine-month figures set records even as third-quarter operating profit fell 35.5 percent year on year. The PUBG series carried the quarter: cumulative revenue for the franchise rose 11 percent from January through September, and monthly active users on PC and console are growing by double digits.
The company tied that momentum to user-generated content, which arrived in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS in December 2025 and expanded with PUBG: Playgrounds in August 2026. A 2027 update for the series' 10th anniversary is planned as its largest content update, with details withheld.
