PUBG PC Is Going Free TO Play In January, But with some exceptions
PUBG, one of the first and most popular battle royale games, will go free-to-play next year. On January 12, 2022, Krafton announced at The Game Awards that PUBG will transition to a free-to-play model. The update affects both the PC and console versions of the game.
Since its release in 2017, PUBG has been a paid game, with a current price of $30. However, that will change next year when PUBG adopts a free-to-play business model, putting it on par with other popular battle royale games like Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone. Some of PUBG's features, such as Ranked Mode, will require players to either own the game or pay for Battlegrounds Plus (more on that below).
Everyone who pre-registers for the free version of PUBG before January 11 will receive a "special care package" that includes cosmetics and other bonuses.
The mobile edition of PUBG has always been free, but this is a significant change for the PC and console editions, which are currently $30. To date, the game has sold more than 75 million copies.
When PUBG goes free, Krafton also announced that a new, optional offering called Battleground Plus will be available. Players will receive the following for a one-time payment of $13:
Anyone who purchases PUBG before it becomes free will receive the Special Commemorative Pack, which includes Battleground Plus and various cosmetics.
