'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' (ALL) PS4/Xbox One Cross Platform Play Now Live

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

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds 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.

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.

Kill or be killed in a fight to be the last man standing.

PUBG Corporation has released its latest update to live console servers! Update 4.3 introduces cross platform play to Xbox One and PS4 users. Players from both consoles are now able to join in the same matchmaking pool and face off on the Battlegrounds for the first time ever.

Update 4.3 also brings a new method of tracking progression in the form of Survival Mastery, which rewards players for their survival skills in each match. A detailed review of each combat encounter can also be viewed to see how they and their squadmates performed across the battle. Survival Mastery also introduces the PUBG ID, a new way to show your survival accomplishments when interacting with other players! Customize your name plate, emblems, and even your character’s pose to make your PUBG ID completely unique to you.

Also in Update 4.3 is a brand new crate weapon, the double-barrelled, pump-action, DBS shotgun. Holding 14 shells and able to fire off two shots per second, the DBS will be essential in late-game close quarters combat.

There are a variety of other changes and bug fixes in Console Update 4.3 as well, so be sure to check out the full patch notes here for more details.
