Mark your calendars. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has officially announced its PlayStation 4 launch date and it’s December 7, 2018.
That’s right, Xbox’s year of console exclusivity has come to an end, and PUBG will hit the ground on PlayStation 4 with three maps — Erangel, MIramar, and Sanhok. There will be another snow-themed map — AKA Vikendi — set for release later this winter season, but no specific date have been announced as of yet and it can only be accessed by those holding the Survival Pass.

The Survivor’s edition — which will include Survival Pass: Vikendi, a 2,300 G-Coin Pack, and 20,000 Battle Points — comes at US$60, while the Champion’s Digital Edition — which has 3,700 G-Coins on top of the Survivor’s Edition — will set you back US$90.
