More On: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Mark your calendars, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will hit the PS4 December 7th. This is about a year after it released for Xbox and long since Fortnite took the battle royale idea PUBG popularized and surpassed it's predecessor in player numbers. I've never really been much for BR games but always liked the look and feel of PUBG much more than the cartoony Fortnite myself.
 
Pre-orders are available now and there are a few bundles available, starting with just the base game for $30 and moving up to add in-game currency and a "Survivor Pass" that will add additional rewards to be won while playing. All players will get the PS4 exclusive Uncharted and The Last of US themed in-game items when they purchase the game. Full press release after the Read More link and the announcement trailer below.
