1. PUBG’s Origin

The story of Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene was truly a classic rag-to-riches tale. Brendan Greene has been modding a lot of games, in which the most successful title is “DayZ” (H1Z1), a 100-player survival video game developed and published by Bohemia Interactive. The mod was based on a military shooter named “ARMA 2”.

When this mod, ultimately, became widely popular enough to draw attention of a big investor, Bluehole – a video game company in South Korean, Greene had a chance of creating his own game. Yep, PUBG was initiated from that mod.
