I thought this already settled and pubg was going to the PS4 already.

Who knows anymore. Microsoft is doing everything they can to secure that one... again.

Timed or even permanent.

If it happens then oh well. MS would be better off not canceling their exclusives instead of trying to moneyhat games like that.

Nah, Sony will just shove a PUBG mode into Uncharted 4.

Or Knack 2...
Gotta sell that game somehow.



I hope not. This needs to stay xbox console exclusive,

Exclusive game is anti consumer !!!!



Bluehole starting to sweat just a little bit. I'm sure the big Fortnite debut pushed this ahead. They were probably trying to get a bigger leverage out of MS before, but now that they may not be the only game in town for BR gaming, plans have likely changed.

Good to have them officially say it, so many sad little fanboys were walking around acting like it would never hit playstation across multiple forums.

Pray tell, what sad little fanboys are these?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

So basically Epic releases a BR add-on for their game. price it free, throw it on the PS4 -and suddenly PUBG is interested in the ps4?

Makes sense, thanks Epic. There is no way that PUBG would just "give" their rivals free access to a 60 million (and higher) userbase with no competition.

That said - far more interested in epics. Way more colorful, along with building/destroying/traps makes it far more interesting to me. Throw in smaller maps, faster games, and better optimization with no price tag - and they have a hit on their hands.

Basically yes.

It seems PUBG want to get ahead of the copycats so they can score a good amount of sales on the playstation side too.

Yes, I think seeing fortnites success, pushed things forwards.

Hopefully MS doesnt have a year exclusive deal with them.... if they do, it could end up costing PUBG sales from playstation side.



There will be sooooo many copycats in a little while.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Always interesting to see the "pressure" of ps4 in effect. Because now on anyone that wants to make a BR will have to include PS4. Or they are immediately giving a huge part of the pie to their competition.

What deos that say about the current sales the PC version has made alone?. Does that mean the PS4 base is 3 times bigger than PC+Xbox combined?.

XB locks down PUBG for a period of time > Fortnite creates similar game mode > PS4 and XB1 players get a taste of Fortnite cross play > Cross play halted > PS decides if its worth allowing it to tempt players and keep them off PUBG on XB1.

That's what it looks like to me anyway. Either that or a threat to PUBG. Join us or this means war. I don't completely buy this "it was an accident" PR.

> PUBG folds faster than Superman on laundry day.

Didn't see that one coming...
