The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) video game is now available to play for free for Xbox Game Pass subscribers on Microsoft’s Xbox One consoles.

PUBG has been available to play on the Xbox One as a traditional digital and physical game purchase since late-2017 but making it also available on Xbox Game Pass could encourage even more fans to give it a go on console, in particular the Xbox One.

In a rather strategic move, Sony chose today to announce the PlayStation 4 release date for PUBG, December 7th, with a special announcement teaser video. In addition to the launch date, the video also revealed that the PS4 version of PUBG would boast exclusive items based on Uncharted’s Nathan Drake desert outfit and The Last of Us’ Ellie’s backpack.

It should be interesting to see which platform gamers choose to play PUBG on but with many having already put in almost a year worth of playtime and grinding on Xbox One, it may prove difficult for Sony to convince them to throw away all of that progress and start again on PS4.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
