December 12th will mark the launch of the game via the Xbox Preview Program. It will be available to purchase both digitally and at retail for $29.99 USD. This will coincide with the launch of version 1.0 on Steam. Development will continue for both platforms, with slight differences in updates due to the nature of said platforms.
Now that PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is coming to Xbox One really soon, I’m definitely excited and eager to start playing with all my friends. Hopefully the console version rollout is smooth and launch-issue free.
If you’d like to know more about the game, here’s the official synopsis:
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8×8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4’s capabilities.
