PUBG will be free to play on all platforms from January 12, 2022.Benefits for existing users
Korea PUBG Studios announced on December 10 that the battle royale game "PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS" will be playable for free after the update on January 12, 2022.
The game was released on Steam for PC in 2017, and is also available on consumer devices such as Xbox and PlayStation. Currently, it sells for 3,300 yen on Steam, and for consumer devices, it was necessary to subscribe to paid subscription plans such as "PlayStation Plus" and "Xbox Live."
PUBG, which will celebrate its 5th anniversary in 2022, cites "further expansion of the community" as the aim of making it free. By increasing the number of users due to the free of charge, faster matchmaking can be expected.
After making it free, we will prepare two types of accounts: "Basic", which allows you to access almost all functions, and "BATTLEGROUNDS Plus", which is a DLC that is sold out. BATTLEGROUNDS Plus will be able to use functions such as rank match and custom match, as well as additional benefits such as additional match reward survival mastery XP and items. The price is US $ 12.99. In the future, it will be possible to play on consumer devices without subscribing to a subscription plan.
With the free of charge, rewards and benefits for existing players are also available. In addition to the free grant of "BATTLEGROUNDS Plus" above, a pack "PUBG --SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE PACK" containing costume skins that can be used in the game will be distributed. In addition, PlayStation users will be "purchased" for 100 yen instead of distribution due to the policy on the platform side.
In addition to presenting in-game items by pre-registering, we are planning to hold a friend invitation event where you can win prizes.
