Rumours have been circulating recently about PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds making the jump to PS4. While it always seemed like a pretty safe bet, the mounting evidence has suggested it's coming very soon indeed, and this latest image could mean an announcement is imminent.
The above screenshot, taken by Reddit user JDubled, shows an advertisement for PUBG on the Featured tab of the US PlayStation Store, clear as day. Apparently, clicking on the ad attempts to take you to a page where you can pre-order the game, but it's currently unavailable. More than one person has reported seeing this image on the PS Store.
Yet more evidence can be found through here, where someone has uploaded a GIF of the advert in question. It doesn't immediately appear, but the user tabs down to What's Hot and back up again to Featured, and the PUBG image shows itself. Some are speculating that it'll be one of December's PS Plus games, which is certainly possible. We'll have to sit tight until Sony inevitably reveals PUBG for PS4 via the PlayStation Blog.
Does this practically confirm PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for PS4? Will you be checking out this battle royale title, or are you nonplussed by its arrival? Prepare for battle in the comments below.

With Red Dead Online coming, who needs this?
Wonder if this was a bit of a strategic move to remind people it's coming to PS4 since its on Xbox's game pass this week.
@Th3solution I honestly don’t think RDR Online will be anywhere near as popular as GTA Online, it’s got a huge map but not a lot in it compared to GTA V’s and the only mode of transport is horses and stagecoaches. Apart from new online missions, what can they keep adding with updates? New breed of horses, weapons and clothes, what else?
As for PUBG it’s still not perfect but it has come along way with constant updates since it launched on Xbox, it plays and looks a lot better now and at least it’s no longer in game preview unlike most other battle royale games out there.
Worst kept secret in games.
Presume there is some weird rule that Sony cant advertise or announce it till the exclusivity is over. Would give it a go if free on plus doubt I would bother otherwise.
@get2sammyb i thought that was the PS5?
PUBG for ps4 is the worst kept secret after fortnite for the switch.
@MaccaMUFC Yeah, you’re probably right, but I was referring to the fact that I predict a Battle Royale mode to be present in Red Dead Online. Couple that with the other free BR games H1Z1 and Fortnite, then BlOps 4 BR mode and Battlefield BR coming, and pretty soon you have market saturation. I could be wrong, but I just think PUBG is not going to sell particularly well, especially if it’s over $30.
@Th3solution a battle royale mode in RDR2, you say? I'd like to see how they're gonna handle that. What, are they gonna have Arthur Morgan jumping out of a stage coach suspended by a hot air balloon and plummeting to the ground hanging onto a parachute made of a saloon madam's bloomers? 🤣
@MaccaMUFC it doesn't have to be.
Pubg is pretty much confirmed. But how will it do up against battle royal games that are free? Such a tall order.
@get2sammyb no way. AC Odyssey got obliterated by leaks. And Spyro.
@get2sammyb
Like Adam said, its not really a secret. They just arent allowed to officially announce it.
I would try it if it was free, since I already have it on pc and it's coming late to the party on PS4.
@Turismo4GT Lol , I don’t know. At least that would be interesting though. I would think more like a randomized assortment of trains, stage coaches, and horses bringing players into the area. Throw in bears, alligators, and wolverines for good measure if you’re trying to camp out in the wilderness. Maybe a forest fire closing in instead of the storm thing to push players closer.
....or parachuting in on XXL bloomers. That works too 😂
If it's available for preorder it's not a candidate for Plus in December
@PhenomenalOne It wouldn't surprise me if they give it away as a PS+ game. They just added it to the Xbox Game Pass yesterday.
Guarantee it'll be a shadow drop at the game awards.
At this point, PUBG desperately needs to become free to play if they want any hope of regaining relevance after Fortnite took over.
It's official.
Could not care any less if i tried. 😁 😜
