PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Season 20

VS

Anthem

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is a veteran battle royale shooter that originally sparked the genre's global popularity. While its initial release was in 2017, the game continues to receive regular seasonal updates (as indicated by Season 20) and maintains a large international user base, particularly in Asia. The daily active player count has declined from its peak but remains strong due to its free-to-play model, cross-platform support, and ongoing updates by major publishers. However, its numbers are lower compared to its peak years, reflecting natural battle royale lifecycle trends.

Anthem, released in 2019 by BioWare and published by EA, was initially marketed as a multiplayer online action RPG. The game suffered major player decline due to negative reception, lack of endgame content, and discontinued development in 2021. It is widely considered to have a very small, residual player base, likely well under 1,000 daily active players globally.
