How Much Money Does PUBG Make? The Official Numbers

Krafton, the company behind PUBG, reported annual revenue of KRW 3.3266 trillion in its FY2025 results, announced on February 9, 2026. That was the first time Krafton annual revenue went above 3 trillion won, and it was a record high for the company. Operating profit for the same year was KRW 1.0544 trillion. Those two numbers are the honest answer to the question of how much money PUBG makes, because Krafton reports its results as a company, not as a single game. When people ask how much PUBG makes, they usually mean the whole PUBG business, and the Krafton annual revenue figure is the closest official number to that. PUBG is the franchise and Krafton is the company that owns it, so the revenue figure belongs to Krafton and the games inside it. Keep that distinction in mind whenever you see a headline number, because a figure labelled as PUBG revenue is almost always the Krafton total, and the two are not the same thing even though PUBG is the biggest driver inside it.

Krafton breaks its revenue down by segment, and the split for FY2025 tells you where the money actually comes from. Mobile brought in KRW 1.7407 trillion, PC brought in KRW 1.1846 trillion, console brought in KRW 42.8 billion, and other businesses brought in KRW 358.5 billion. Mobile is the largest segment, which makes sense because PUBG Mobile reaches far more players than the PC version, and BGMI, the India version of the game, sits inside that same mobile number. The money in these segments comes from in-game purchases: UC spent on crates and draws, Royale Passes and other seasonal passes, collaboration items, outfits, weapon skins, and vehicle skins. Players do not pay to download PUBG Mobile, so almost all of the revenue comes from optional purchases inside a free game. On PC, PUBG: Battlegrounds recorded its highest annual revenue, which shows the older PC game is still growing rather than fading.

The PC and mobile sides of PUBG tell two different stories, and both matter. On PC, PUBG: Battlegrounds recorded its highest annual revenue, which means the original game had its best year ever in FY2025. On mobile, Krafton reported that paying users grew for PUBG Mobile, and that paying users for BGMI grew strongly. Paying users are the players who actually spend inside the game, so growth there means more players are choosing to buy passes, UC, and skins, not just downloading and playing for free. What Krafton does not do is publish a PUBG Mobile only revenue figure separate from the mobile segment, and that gap is the source of most of the confusion online. The mobile segment of KRW 1.7407 trillion covers PUBG Mobile and BGMI together with any other mobile business Krafton runs, so nobody outside the company can say exactly how much of that segment belongs to PUBG Mobile alone. Any single number you see online that claims to be PUBG Mobile revenue on its own is an estimate built by a third party, not an official figure, and it should be treated that way.

Search results are full of per day figures for PUBG earnings, and almost all of them are misleading. Krafton reports revenue quarterly and annually, never daily, so there is no official daily number to quote. A daily figure can only come from dividing an annual total by the number of days in a year, which produces a flat average that hides how the business really works. Revenue in a live game is seasonal: a big update, a new Royale Pass season, a popular collaboration, or a major esports event can push spending up sharply for a few weeks, while quiet weeks between seasons bring it back down. A flat daily average pretends every day is the same, and no day in a live game is the same as the next. The second problem is that the annual total being divided is often wrong, because many sites divide an old estimate, a different year, or a figure that mixes Krafton with another company entirely. The result looks precise because it has a daily number attached to it, but precision is not the same as accuracy. If you want a real sense of scale, use the annual segment figures from the official results and accept that daily revenue moves up and down with the game calendar.

You do not need a finance background to check PUBG earnings for yourself, and doing it once will protect you from bad numbers forever. Start by finding the official source: Krafton investor relations releases, where the FY2025 results were announced on February 9, 2026. Step one is to read the headline revenue and operating profit figures, and to note the difference between them, because revenue is the money coming in while operating profit is what remains after the cost of running the business. Step two is to find the segment table, which breaks revenue into mobile, PC, console, and other businesses, so you can see which part of the company is doing the work. Step three is to compare the year with the year before it, because a single year on its own tells you very little about whether the business is growing or shrinking. Step four is to read the short commentary that comes with the numbers, where Krafton explains what drove the result, such as PC recording its highest annual revenue or paying users growing on mobile. Step five is to check what is not broken out: if a figure you want, like PUBG Mobile only revenue, is not in the table, then it is not published, and any number claiming to be it comes from somewhere else. Follow those five steps and you will never again need to trust a random daily figure from a content farm.

Most of the wrong numbers about PUBG earnings come from a small set of repeatable mistakes, and once you know them you can spot them in seconds. The first mistake is quoting the Krafton total as PUBG Mobile revenue, which ignores the PC, console, and other business segments entirely. The second mistake is treating a third-party estimate as an official figure, which happens whenever a site presents a guessed number with no source attached. The third mistake is confusing revenue with profit, because revenue of KRW 3.3266 trillion sounds huge until you remember that running a global game business costs a large share of it, which is why operating profit of KRW 1.0544 trillion is the number that shows what the business actually keeps. The fourth mistake is converting won into another currency with a stale or rounded exchange rate and then quoting the converted number as if it were exact, when the original won figure is the only precise one. The fifth mistake is quoting an old year as if it were current, because PUBG earnings have changed a lot over the years and a figure from three years ago says nothing about today. Avoid those five mistakes and the numbers you quote will be the official ones, in won, from the year they belong to.
