PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds launches December 12 on Xbox One

One of PC gaming’s biggest hits is finally making the leap to consoles when PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (read my early access review) goes live on Xbox One on December 12 for $30. The unfinished battle royal shooter will launch as part of the Xbox Games Preview program, which is similar to the Early Access portal that PUBG is available through on Steam. This console release will then exist separately from the PC version.

PUBG on Xbox One will have its own development roadmap and won’t reach its 1.0 version when its Steam counterpart does so in late December. It will get Xbox One X enhancements, and PUBG Corp., the Bluehole subsidiary that develops the shooter, plans to add in some upcoming PC features into the Xbox version before its December 12 launch.
