PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS has become one of the most popular games in the world, and its progress has even been reflected in Korean PC Bangs.





PUBG has overtaken League of Legends and Overwatch and is the far and away No. 1 game in Korean PC Bangs, according to ​the most recent update from Daily Game on Monday. PUBG had a play rate of 37.70 percent, with League of Legends second at 23.52 percent and Overwatch a distant third at 9.19 percent.

I haven't been keeping up with PC bang playrates but holy fuck nuggets!

League of Legends has long dominated PC Bang play rates, and only during a brief period during 2016 did it lose out to Overwatch, which briefly became the No. 1 game in play rates. League of Legends took the reigns back from Overwatch last year and remained No. 1 until a recent surge from PUBG.





In October, PUBG and League of Legends ​combined for more than 50 percent of the play rates, and Overwatch hit a then-low of 18.74 percent. This week's mark was half that.





League of Legends' percentage is still strong at 23.52 percent, as this week's numbers are more about PUBG's surge than anything going on with the other games.





PC Bang percentages have long been a measure of interest and health among games in South Korea, and it appears there is a new No. 1.
