PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is ‘on track’ to leave Early Access in late December

The battle royal military shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds isn’t finished yet, but developer Bluehole Studio says it is on pace to complete it by “late December.” This would take the last-player-standing multiplayer hit to its full 1.0 release state — although Early Access hasn’t prevented it from reaching the most-streamed game on Twitch last quarter.

Bluehole still hasn’t specified what a 1.0 release will entail, but the company has promised features like vaulting over obstacles and improvements to stability and performance for a long time now. Since March, the studio has sold PUBG through the Steam Early Access portal for games in development. Despite its development status, however, PUBG has attracted a huge audience of more than 13 million players around the world.
