Hello players,
Today, we’d like to share an important update regarding the PUBG Console service.
According to our 2025 blueprint, we’ve been working diligently to move the PUBG Console over to modern gaming platforms.
Starting November 13, PUBG Console will be supported only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Making this change is crucial for bringing PUBG Console up-to-date with contemporary game consoles. To deliver our gamers a more secure gaming experience on console and make the journey ahead smoother with upcoming updates, we’ve opted to move over to modern game consoles. Post this changeover, console players can anticipate enhanced graphics and consistent frame rates. Furthermore, we aim to eradicate persistent crashes by optimizing memory usage for better performance.
As part of this transition, we will be ending support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Expressing it differently, we carry a significant burden as we prepare to share some news that may affect the gaming experience of our PlayStation 4 and Xbox One PUBG players, who have been loyal supporters for quite some time.
We continue to fondly recall the grand conflicts, pulse-pounding instances, and the strong bond that united us. We express our heartfelt gratitude for each of the past eight years you’ve shared with us.
This choice wasn’t taken lightly; it followed thorough and thoughtful deliberation, with a focus on ensuring the ongoing expansion and long-term success of PUBG Console. We appreciate your patience and encourage you to check out the details provided below, especially if you’re playing on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

The current generation console’s performance specifications for PUBG Console were meticulously established through rigorous technical analysis and internal testing sessions. This was done to offer the most reliable and efficiently optimized gaming experience possible. Specifically, memory and graphic settings have been thoughtfully adjusted with upcoming content additions in mind, aiming to guarantee a seamless transition in supporting these updates as they roll out.
In the case of PUBG Console, ensuring a level playing field was a crucial focus since cross-play between different platforms is available. Our aim, therefore, has been to consistently deliver a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) experience on all platforms. To accommodate variations in hardware efficiency, Xbox Series S offers customizable settings like Resolution Mode and Performance Mode for an optimized gaming experience.
Moving on to the latest gaming platforms is not just about ensuring a smoother experience, but also gearing up for bigger updates in the future. This shift signifies a significant leap towards the long-term development of PUBG Console, enabling us to adapt more quickly to the changing demands of the console marketplace.
We deeply appreciate your ongoing enthusiasm and backing for the console version of PUBG, and we pledge to offer an outstanding gaming experience moving forward.
We’ll see you on the Battlegrounds.
