Soon everyone will have a chance to attain the prestigious chicken dinner when PUBG: Battlegrounds goes free-to-play this week.
Yes, what many consider the original battle royale game will soon join Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Fortnite as another free title in the genre. Funny how a trendsetter is ending up as another follower.
PUBG: Battlegrounds free-to-play update goes live Jan. 12 for both PC and consoles. However, the times vary a smidge depending on which platform you intend to play on:
PC on Jan. 11 at 11 P.M. PDT // Jan. 12 at 2 A.M. EDT
Xbox and PlayStation on Jan. 12 at 12 A.M. PDT // 3 A.M. EDT
The console times shouldn’t change whether you’re on PS4 or Xbox One. PUBG: Battlegrounds is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility.
