Krafton has announced that later this year, it will wind down support for PUBG: Battlegrounds on PS4 and Xbox One, meaning that if you want to play the console versions of the game, you'll have to pick up a next-gen machine.
This news comes via an official post on the PUBG website, in which Krafton confirms that support for the last-gen versions of its popular battle royale shooter will come to an end on November 13th.
Krafton describes this decision as "a necessary step towards aligning PUBG Console with current-gen consoles", and it should also help to "provide...players with a more stable gameplay environment on console", as well as ensuring "a smoother, more seamless experience with future updates".
According to Krafton, once this transition is complete, console players will see "improved visuals and more stable frame rates", and not only that, but ongoing crash issues should be resolved "through memory-related optimizations".
Since PUBG is a live-service game, it probably won't shock you to learn that it won't be playable in single-player, either. Once support ends for the PS4 and Xbox One versions, that's it; they won't be playable or downloadable anymore....
