PUBG: Battlegrounds will end support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 13, 2025. From that day, the game will be available only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. All your progress and purchases will carry over seamlessly.
Why It Matters
But why now? Well, last-gen consoles are nearing their end. With PS5 and Xbox Series X|S up and running, PUBG’s shift reflects the wider industry trend — recent hits like The First Descendant and Hunt: Showdown already dropped last-gen support this year.
PUBG’s eight‑year run on those previous-gen consoles includes its launch in 2017 (Xbox One) and late 2018 (PS4), so this isn’t coming out of left field.
What Players on PS4 / Xbox One Should Know
- From November 14, 2025, you simply can’t download or play PUBG on your older console.
- To keep playing:
- Get a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S
- Sign in using your existing account
- Continue as if nothing changed (minus the old console)
Krafton emphasised it wasn’t a light decision — they’re thankful for the community’s eight-year support.
