The Korean game `Player unknown’s Battleground`, which is being played at home and abroad, is receiving a love call in the US video contents market.

According to industry sources on March 15, Bubbly Corporation, which created Battlegrounds, recently received an offer from Netflix, the world`s largest online video streaming (OTT) company, to co-produce video content using the game. Not only Netflix but also several American film producers have proposed to Pugge Corporation to make Battle Ground a movie.

"Netflix has sent a proposal to create video content using battlegrounds," said Kwon Jung-hyun, Chief Marketing Officer, CMO. "Netflix officials and our representatives have contacted Netflix several times for discussion." "There is a proposal from various content companies to use battleground intellectual property (IP), and it is an initial review stage," he said. "Extending battleground to various content areas such as e-sports and movies We will have enough time as our direction, and we will look into where we can conduct in-depth research on the game world and where collaboration is possible. "

Battleground receives a love call in the American video content market because it is consistently popular in North America and Europe, and it is highly likely that it will be popular if it is made with movies.

Battle Ground, made by Bluegrass subsidiary Pubge, is a shooting game released in March as a paid test version on the US game platform `Steam`. Based on the 13-day PC online and console version cumulative sales volume of more than 38 million, cumulative sales are estimated at 1.2 trillion won. It was the first time for Steam Games last December that it exceeded 3 million concurrent users. In Korea, it has been ranked No. 1 in PC room market share for 17 consecutive weeks since last November when OBT started. It is a characteristic of this game that 100 people fall into an isolated island and use various weapons and vehicles to compete for survival until the last one survives.
