We can’t wait to reveal more closer to launch and in the months to follow.įor our existing player base, we’d like to thank our longtime fans with a special PUBG – Special Free to Play Transition Pack for anyone who has purchased the game, which includes seven cosmetic items and access to Battlegrounds Plus, which unlocks all of the game’s features while providing some account boosts. Battlegrounds free-to-play will also include several improvements we’ve been working on, with some of those focused on our new players. Players must land, loot, and survive across not only some of the largest maps in battle royale, but the largest variety of maps, which include forest, jungle, snow, desert, city, and countryside environments. So, what can new players expect when they drop in next year? Well, they can look forward to 100 survivors parachuting into a winner-takes-all showdown featuring best-in-class gunplay.
#Pubg cross platform upgrade
To show how much we appreciate the support, all players who have owned and played PUBG: Battlegrounds before the free-to-play service transition can receive the PUBG – Special Free to Play Transition Pack, which includes a free Battleground Plus upgrade and various rewards. With free-to-play, we can finally fulfill an important and long standing goal of ours. It’s part of the reason we decided to launch in early access, it’s why we grew into consoles and other platforms, and it’s why we’ve expanded the PUBG franchise into other ventures like esports and entertainment. Since launch, it’s always been our intention to bring the Battlegrounds to as large of an audience as possible. In many ways, going free-to-play was our natural next step.

Throughout our journey, which is approaching five years, we’ve seen more than 14 billion hours of play across our eight maps, which is the largest amount available in the battle royale genre.īattlegrounds free-to-play now gives us the opportunity to expand our community even more and bring all the thrills of PUBG and battle royale to everyone, while providing new friends, and let’s be honest, more targets for our existing player base. Following the unprecedented success, Battlegrounds found its way to PlayStation and other platforms, expanding our community. In a heartwarming and humbling turn of events, fans around the world embraced the organized chaos of our battle royale as they experienced the game’s tension, realistic gunplay, and nonstop, edge of your seat action. Back on March 24, 2017, PUBG: Battlegrounds was little more than the hope and heart of a small dev team as it debuted in early access.

It’s been a long road getting to this point.
