PUBG to End Support for Older Generation Consoles

The developers of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS have announced that support for older generation consoles — PlayStation 4 and Xbox One — will be discontinued in November this year.

Hello players,

Today, we'd like to share an important update regarding the PUBG Console service.

As mentioned in our 2025 roadmap, we've been preparing to transition PUBG Console to current-generation consoles.

Starting November 13, PUBG Console will be supported only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

This shift is a necessary step toward aligning PUBG Console with current-gen consoles. To provide our players with a more stable gameplay environment on console and ensure a smoother, more seamless experience with future updates, we've decided to transition to current-gen consoles. Following this transition, console players will see improved visuals and more stable frame rates. In addition, we expect to reduce ongoing crash issues through memory-related optimizations.

As part of this transition, we will be ending support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

It weighs heavily on us to deliver this news to our console players who have enjoyed PUBG on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for so many years.

We still vividly remember the epic battles, the heart-stopping moments, and the camaraderie that brought us together. We are deeply grateful for every moment you've spent with us over the past eight years.

This was not a decision made lightly. It comes after long and careful consideration, in pursuit of the continued growth and long-term future of PUBG Console. We kindly ask for your understanding and invite players using PlayStation 4 or Xbox One to review the details below.

The supported specifications for current-gen consoles were determined through extensive technical review and internal testing to ensure the most stable and optimized PUBG Console gameplay experience. In particular, memory and graphical specifications have been carefully configured with future content updates in mind, to ensure the system is well-prepared to support them smoothly.

As PUBG Console supports cross-play between platforms, fairness across all platforms was one of our top priorities. With this in mind, our goal is to provide a stable 60fps experience across all platforms. To account for differences in hardware performance, Xbox Series S will offer selectable options such as Resolution Mode and Performance Mode.

As mentioned earlier, this transition to current-gen consoles is not only aimed at providing a more stable environment, but also at preparing for larger updates in the future. It marks an important step forward for the long-term growth of PUBG Console, and will allow us to respond more swiftly to the evolving needs of the console ecosystem.

We sincerely thank you for your continued interest and support in PUBG Console, and we remain committed to providing you with the best possible gameplay experience going forward.
