PUBG on PS4 could finally be put online

A PS4 output of Battlefields of PlayerUnknown (PUBG) has been evaluated by the Korean Game Rating Board (as indicated by Eurogamer), indicating that the console's exclusive period on the Xbox One could soon come to an end. Mobile versions of the game on iOS and Android released earlier in 2018.

PUBG is widely credited with exploding the popularity of the royal battle genre. At its peak, more than 3 million people played it simultaneously in January 2018. Other popular games have since joined the genre, including: Battlefield V, Call of Dutyand of course, Fortnite.

After its release on PC in March 2017, PUBG The huge popularity meant that it was quickly overtaken by Microsoft, which released it in advance as an exclusive console in December of the same year. By July 2018, the game would have been sold to 8 million copies on the console.

The game initially launched into a buggy state that saw its frame rate sometimes plunge into unique numbers on the console. While these performance issues are still under development, the 1.0 version of the game in September saw parity of features with its PC equivalent with three cards and dynamic weather now available for its console version.

It's unclear what features and cards will be available with the initial version of the PS4 version of the game, which could receive a December version if Microsoft had a year of exclusivity. But fortunately, the developer's "Fix PUBG" campaign will lead to improvements in the quality of life of the version.

This is not the first time that a Korean Media Ratings Board announcement has been posted for a future game. Earlier this year, he announced the arrival of Fortnite on the Nintendo switch, before its official announcement at the E3 in June.
