But in the action-packed world of PUBG – where luck and unpredictability rule – anybody can play, and anybody can win. The game is notoriously difficult to master, but that hasn’t stopped millions of determined players trying their shot every day, even when the odds are stacked against them.

This suite of six films chronicles Reggie as he haplessly and loveably explores the game’s various environments and scenarios, mixing epic PUBG action with signature humour.

Impact
Resonating with both experienced gamers and newcomers alike, the films garnered over 2 million organic views online within the first week – subverting expectations within the genre and giving hope and inspiration to any new players ready to take their shot on the island.
