PUBG will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S from day one

The game that really helped kick start the battle royale genre is coming to next-gen consoles. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be available on the PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series Xx and Xbox Series S from day one, according to PUBG Corp.

The game, which first hit Steam in early access in March 2017, will be available to download on the new consoles next month. But while players will be able to snake their way through wheat fields and hop, jump, and skip their way around Paramo's melting terrain, it won't come with too many graphical improvements.

That's because the Xbox Series X game will leverage the Xbox One X game build, and the Xbox Series S game will leverage the Xbox One S build. This means that the game will run at 60 FPS on the Series X and 30 FPS on the Series S. The PS5 game will also use the PS4 Pro build, which apparently runs up to 60 FPS.

We're also starting this season with a new weapon balance pass to tone down the Beryl and SLR a bit and are implementing a new way for you make purchases in the game. G-Coin is PUBG's new currency and is meant to give you and us more options around purchases. You'll receive bonus G-Coin for buying bigger bundles and can now also receive it as a reward.

Speaking of rewards, Survivor Pass: Highlands has the gear you need to take on Paramo in style! This pass will be shorter than previous ones, but now features G-Coin in some rewards, letting you save up a bit towards your next pass or whatever else you want! Pick up Survivor Pass: Highlands today and get leveling!

For full details on Update 9.1, you can check out our patch notes. For now, grab your squad and drop into the highlands!

PUBG now has an official lore site

October 15, 2020 The PUBG lore site has now launched.

In July last year, ahead of the battle royale game's Season 4, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds got its first batch of official lore. A cinematic trailer explored the "the first lone survivor of Erangel" - the multiplayer game's setting - and, since then, we've seen other nuggets of PUBG's backstory appear. Now, an official website dedicated to PUBG lore has launched.

Developer PUBG Corp. recently tweeted another 'lore drop' about its new map Paramo (which has just hit the PUBG test server), teasing that there was "more at lore.pubg.com". At the time, the website wasn't fully launched - it just had a background image alongside an option to "get notified" by email of more information when available and was "launching soon" according to a Google search of the site. But now, there's plenty more to check out.

"You want to know more about the Battlegrounds, right?", the site's 'welcome' page reads. "Who runs them? Why? What is a 'chicken dinner'? Well, you've come to the right place.

PUBG Season 9 has a new map with an active volcano

It's never good to stay in one location for long periods of time in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but if you do in Season 9 - you'll certainly feel it. That's because the game is getting a new battleground to fight over and it's set around a super active volcano.

Paramo is PUBG's first dynamic map making each and every trip there unique. According to the patch notes, locations will change between matches, forcing players to think on their feet and plan their strategy only when the helicopter doors are opened.

Unlike the rest of PUBG's maps though, Paramo is a seasonal match exclusive for Season 9 only. This means it'll be played in a separate TPP Squads playlist without bots or ranks for the duration of Season 9 only. Games on the 3x3km map won't count towards your stats, but they will count towards Season 9 missions.
