PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Season 20

VS

DayZ

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.

DayZ is a well-known open-world survival game by Bohemia Interactive, released in late 2018. It remains popular within the survival genre and typically holds a strong concurrent player base, especially on PC with additional activity on consoles. Its age means it's past its peak, but it maintains a loyal community and steady content updates, resulting in an estimated 45,000 daily active players across platforms.
