PUBG Could Be Coming to PS4, but Don’t Expect It on the Console Soon

PlayerUnknown is aiming for world domination, clearly.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is already taking over Xbox One after its massively successful PC debut, but developer PUBG Corp has it eyes on much more than that. It’s looking to bring the game to as many platforms as is possible, and of course that includes PS4, eventually.

Speaking to Inven Global, CEO Chang Han Kim stated that the game will be on Xbox One as an exclusive title “for some time,” but explained that it being available on Xbox One first was indeed because of the system’s Game Preview access program. Sony will not allow games that are still heavily in development on the PlayStation Store, where Microsoft will.

“Early Access on Steam and Game Preview on Xbox One are like pre-release, so they don’t have a restriction on quality. However, [PlayStation] is very strict about this. There were cases where a game took six months more to launch even when it was already completed,” Kim explained.

So while right now the game is an Xbox One exclusive and is available on PC, it will absolutely be coming to PS4 at some point if PUBG Corp has anything to say about it, and any other platform that makes sense and is feasible for the title to land on. As far as when that may be, that’s anyone’s guess.
