With the rise of popularity, the appetite for video games has also grown exponentially, and with the recent influx of high-quality free-to-play games only hastened the process of video game adoption.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds aka PUBG – the game that popularised the Battle Royale genre is one of the most popular games in Bangladesh. A simple PUBG guide to explain the game would be to become the last person standing at any cost.
