'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' Pre-Order Gets You Closed Beta Access

by Rainier on March 6, 2017 @ 11:27 a.m. PST

PUBG: Battlegrounds expands the core Battle Royale experience into a highly competitive player vs. player (PvP) game in a vivid open world.

Welcome to the ultimate battle for life and death

In development for PC using Unreal Engine 4, the standalone game will expand the core Battle Royale experience enjoyed by millions of players into a highly competitive player vs. player (PvP) game in a dynamic open world. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will put up to 64 players on a remote island for a winner-takes-all showdown where strategic gameplay is as important as shooting skills. Players will enter a last-man-standing battle where they try to locate weapons, vehicles and supplies in a graphically and tactically rich battleground that eventually forces players into a shrinking safe area as they engage in a tense and spectacular fight to the death.

As part of the collaborative development process, PlayerUnknown has relocated to Bluehole’s Korean HQ from his native Ireland to serve as the creative director on the project at Bluehole while maintaining close contact with the grassroots community that has supported his projects.

When the match starts, players have no items or weapons. To progress, they can try to commandeer a vehicle to discover a high-value location, search for weapons or employ other diversified tactics with a goal of being the last man standing. All weapons can be upgraded with attachments such as sights and suppressors and both road and off-road vehicles will be available to players.

Two pre-order options are available, Standard or Deluxe, and include:

  • Standard Edition ($29.99): One full game copy of PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS and instant access to CBT (1 Beta Key)
  • Deluxe Edition ($39.99): One full game copy of PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS, instant access to the CBT (2 Beta Keys), plus exclusive limited edition PLAYERUNKNOWN skins.

The CBT continues this weekend starting Friday, March 10, and ends on March 19, 2017 with servers up from Friday to Sunday each week. All pre-order purchases allow unlimited access to the Closed Beta servers. For a detailed CBT schedule, please visit here
