After CSGO?
After PUBG, Counter Strike (regardless of which version) has never made it to that many concurrent players.
People still play pubg??
Not really, but that record number was set at the height of its release. I was told the number is really high because it took off in China, but it has me wondering why other games haven't done the same. Does Steam no longer include or receive player counts from China? Are other games just not as big of hits there? I am specifically curious if Palworld has a large number of players in China.
Typically if they support China they have a separate version of the game to comply with regulations. For example, look up Chinese csgo.
