PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsis available now on PC and Xbox One, but if you only have a PlayStation 4, you’re left out of the fun. If a recent South Koreangame rating postingis any indication, however,that’s about to change.
The Game Rating and Administrative Committee in South Korea has posted a listing forPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundson PlayStation 4, with the PUBG Corporation listed as the applicant. It’s undoubtedly the same game described in the rating posting, which mentions being “the last survivor on [an] isolated island.”
ThoughPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundshas been available on Xbox One since late last year, it was technically still part of the Xbox Preview program until a few weeks ago. The full game brought with it new weapons, microtransactions for cosmetic items, and the smaller Sanhok map. Many of these features are also available on the free-to-playPUBG Mobile, while is available on iOS and Androidas well as PC, for some reason. The mobile version doesn’t support cross-play with its big siblings, as it’s technically a separate game. If youneed tips to win, we’ve created a handy guide.
Losing console exclusivity for the game would be a pretty big blow to Xbox, as the system’s lineup of games pales in comparison to the PlayStation 4. Still, the game is certainly selling well on Xbox One so far, withmore than 8 million playersalready. Compared toFortnite, it’s nothing, but it’s hard to compete with a game that has become a worldwide sensation.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundscould certainly use the extra exposure on a new platform.Fortniteis dominating right now, and unlike the former game, it’s available on PlayStation 4.Call of Duty: Black Ops 4‘s “Blackout” mode will also be available on both consoles, and it offers a very polished version of thePUBG-type battle royale experience.
Still,PUBGis a little different. It’s a slower, more methodical game that forces you to always be aware of your environment and your enemies’ footsteps, and winning a match can often come down to avoiding conflict rather than engaging in it. IfPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsdoes end up coming to PlayStation 4, we will almost certainly hear about it directly from Sony soon.
