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.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is being developed with full transparency to players and is planned to be in Early Access for less than six months. The development team will use this time to implement and finalize the modding tools, and deliver a complete Battle Royale experience.

What’s more, the team will be providing the community with regular updates on development plans throughout Early Access. During this six month period, a heavy emphasis will be placed on client performance and optimization.

With servers now live in North America, Europe and Asia, players can purchase PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Steam for $29.99. Kill or be killed in a fight to be the last man standing.
