Which studio developed PUBG: Battlegrounds?

PUBG Studios developed PUBG: Battlegrounds.

The studio created the standalone battle-royale game under the leadership of Brendan Greene, better known online as PlayerUnknown. Development began at Bluehole’s Korean studio, originally known as Ginno Games and later Bluehole Ginno Games. After PUBG’s success, that development group was renamed PUBG Corporation and eventually became PUBG Studios.

PUBG: Battlegrounds grew out of Greene’s earlier battle-royale mods for games including ARMA 2 and ARMA 3. Its design was also inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale. The standalone game entered Steam Early Access in March 2017 and helped push battle royale from a niche format into a mainstream genre.

A common source of confusion is the difference between the original game and its mobile adaptation. PUBG: Battlegrounds is associated with PUBG Studios, while PUBG Mobile was co-developed with Tencent’s LightSpeed Studios. Riot Games, Respawn Entertainment, and Epic Games developed other major games, not the original PUBG title.
