Pubg wasn’t the first. The crown for that is for H1Z1 or Z1 battle royale as it’s known these days. It was a dayZ clone with a stand alone battle royale version.
Even H1Z1 wasn’t the first if you include mods for Arma, minecraft, DayZ and probably more.
Pubg standalone may not have been first, but in its mod form for arma i think it was the first. Someone less lazy can probably look up the specific dates
PUBG introduced a brand new genre, which is why it was so popular at the time. Lots of games have popped up to copy it since then.

Pretty sure the hunger games mod for minecraft was first.
Super Bomberman from the SNES already had the concept of a looting, survival multiplayer game in a shrinking map.
There’s nothing new under the sun.
If you keep pointing at technicalities you’re going to find that not much of anything is original or a new idea. I think PUBG gets the credit.
This is a very shortsighted stance on this. It’s not a technicality. H1Z1 was released almost 2 years earlier.
It was, and will always be the first stand alone battle royale game.
You also underestimate the popularity of H1Z1 back in the day. The creator of PUBG was even a consultant there, before developing PUBG.
