PUBG Original is Going Free-To-Play. The original PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (aka PUBG) is moving to a free-to-play model beginning January 12st, 2022, developer Krafton announced at The Game Awards Thursday.
PUBG has been a paid game since it launched on Steam in early access in 2017. It quickly became a huge hit, and it was such a sensation that it inspired Epic Games to make a free battle royale mode for its (at the time) new tower defense game called Fortnite.
Fortnite: Battle Royale has since gone on to become an entertainment juggernaut, likely in part because it’s free, and Activision Blizzard has also released its own massively popular free-to-play battle royale shooter, Call of Duty: Warzone.
PUBG Original is Going Free-To-Play
According to the verge, although PUBG will soon be free-to-play, there will still be some elements that are locked behind a fee after the switch.
Krafton plans to introduce an optional one-time $12.99 “account upgrade” called Battlegrounds Plus that gives you access to ranked and custom match modes, special in-game items, and more.
People have who already paid for PUBG will get the PUBG Special Commemorative Pack, which includes Battlegrounds Plus and additional in-game items.
PUBG Battlegrounds Remains Popular
Despite fierce competition, PUBG: Battlegrounds has remained popular, having sold 75 million copies since its release, Dave Curd creative director told The Verge in an interview.
And on mobile, PUBG is one of the biggest franchises around; the free-to-play PUBG Mobile has been downloaded more than 1 billion times, and Krafton recently released a second free-to-play mobile PUB game, PUBG: New State.
PUBG
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (also known as PUBG: Battlegrounds) is an online multiplayer battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of Bluehole. PUBG is one of the best-selling, highest-grossing, and most-played video games of all time.
PUBG is a good game. But like other games, if you keep on playing it for the whole day, you might get addicted to it. PUBG is different from other games.
The main reason why PUBG is so popular has to be the great escape it provides. People get an adrenaline rush and immense excitement as they try to survive until the end of the game, race against time, and try to get as many kills as they can.
One of the best things about PUBG is the accuracy of the weapons. This makes sense considering the games’ origins. Each weapon behaves uniquely, especially when the varieties of attachments are taken into account. Wind, recoil, distance, and weather can also affect a weapon.
