PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has taken the PC gaming world by storm this year. While the game is a multiplayer juggernaut that is devoid of a campaign mode, gamers have used it as a tool to tell some amazing stories. PUBG remains one of the most watched games on Twitch streams and has been a kingmaker of sorts. Summit1g, Dr. DisRespect and a number of other streamers have gained followers, wealth, and attention because of the stories they have told with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. PUBG's emergent gameplay has landed it the title of Shacknews Best Story (Non-Narrative) Game of 2017.

Gamers have seen all sorts of awesome videos on social media about amazing things that happen in PUBG. Stories about winning chicken dinner, evading death, funny accidents, and other ridiculous situations have landed PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds the title of Shacknews Best Story (Non-Narrative) Game of 2017.
