PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds coming to PlayStation 4 has seemed like an inevitable scenario for a long time, and now there's evidence to suggest that it'll arrive on Sony's system next month. Apparently, the game's already on PlayStation 4 servers, at least to some extent, and in-the-know analyst Daniel Ahmad, also known as ZhugeEX, has gone on record saying that he believes it really is releasing in December.
Couple all this new information with the Korean rating leak for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that happened a couple of months back, and the PS4 version is looking more and more like a lock. As far as we're concerned, it's now just a question of when it'll be officially announced.

Makes sense. Next month would be a year since the Xbox One release so the exclusivity would probably be up.
Will anyone care though?
With Blackout out now and Fortnite.I can't.help but feel this is a bit too late.
Game Awards announcement?
@Boxmonkey not at all . Seen my boy play this on his One X and it ran like garbage . Insane because the X truly is powerful and it didn't help run the game better in one slightest bit .
Yeah I would agree that they missed their window on this. I still think it'll sell okay, but it could and probably should have been so much more.
I really liked PUBG, put 300+ hours on the PC version, but I feel this is a little bit too late. Ship has set sail.
Insane suggestion but... What if they put it on PS Plus? I don't think they would, but it might be something they should explore?
This game kind of will not be as well received as it would if it was released on PS4 last year. Fortnite is too strong and apparently Blackout is top Battle Royale banter.
I feel bad for them, they've reinvented the model and are not the ones leading that market. It's even more sad that they have to use their competitor's engine.
@oatmealwarrior92 wow, even now with all the patches it's gotten, it still runs like crap? Doesn't exactly bode well for the PS4 version, does it? Unless they can pull a rabbit out of the hat with the PS4's API's.
I'll give them an hour or two to hook me; we'll see.
@get2sammyb That would be the smart thing to do.
@get2sammyb PS Plus giveaway would be the only way there would be even a slim chance that I play this. And even then, I have my doubts if I’d even want to spend my time downloading the thing. Fortnite is a punch line amongst me and my friends, but PUBG may be even worse. Chances are Red Dead Online will have a Battle Royale mode and then Black Ops 4, so ... yeah. The ship has not only sailed, it has arrived at its destination, docked, and unloaded at this point.
@Callmegil - Why feel bad for them? This game has made billions for PUBGCorp and they can't even be bothered to optimize it for any platform so far. They give zero craps about their customer/player base or the quality of their product and care only about the $$$$.
Not remotely interested. I expect many will lap it up.
Gaming... its not the same... ill be surprised if its anything but exclusively rough, dark and competative by the time im old and grey.
Soften up, people, this is just keeping everyone salty and nasty.
Maybe it's going to be announced at xo experience?
Played this on Xbox one months ago. One of the worst looking games on current generation consoles. Played like garbage too. It won't survive with Fortnite, COD Blackout and H1Z1.
@MattyHammo worst looking, well I am a proud owner of Conan exiles, it can't be worse than that.
@Boxmonkey I doubt it. Everyone I know that wanted to play this either so it in pc now or have got so deep in h1z1 or blackout on ps4 ft they won't likely budge
@get2sammyb putting it on plus is probably the only way this game will gain traction on the PS4, they missed their window of opportunity and allowed Fortnite to take over, now they have to contend with the superior Blackout and of course Red Dead Online will be out as well. Frankly the game should be f2p anyway so this would make a lot of sense and give them a much bgger user base and probably make more money in the long run
If they had released it a year ago would it have made more money than the MS pay off. Who knows, more than likely. Welp
Man, the editors really need to start proofreading their articles because this is a catastrophe.
Wow, that's like stating MySpace is having a rebrand and coming to a PC near you soon. It missed it's chance.
Such vitriol against a ** cough ** beta ** cough ** that just 12 short months ago was the best thing ever on the world's most powerful console 🤣
Oh wow this is still a thing.
Seems like they really shot themselves in the foot with this one and the Xbox wink wink exclusivity.
And also come to PS4 and run like crap
Given the idea of ps+ is to entice ppl to buy dlc, if they support it right a ps+ release of the base game may have a chance to entice ppl to play. But as stated, they have a lot of competition to contend with now that they didn't before. If they expect ppl to buy the game AND dlc I think only the fanboys and the mildly curious will bite. This game proves the adage "timing is everything". While the early bird gets the worm, often it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.
With bo4 here theres literally no point in this releasing. Sorry but WAY too late to your own party
It would definatley need to be free to play for anyone to play this now surely
idk a friend of mine bought it for me on PC. It's alright. I'm not a massive fan, but it's fun to play with friends every now and then. Although, I can't imagine it running any better than the train wreck on Xbox.
I've tried Fortnite, but didn't like it too much because it's goofy and I don't like the building stuff. Overall, I find the BR genre kind of boring after a few rounds, but I am sort of interested in BO4's Blackout mode.
