  • Microsoft to Publish PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was long ago confirmed to be coming to the Xbox One, specifically in their preview program. See, Microsoft allows "early access" games on the Xbox while Sony does not offer the same sort of program.

    That's nothing new. What is new today is word that Microsoft will serve as the publisher on the Xbox One platform. Also interesting (read as "aggravating") is the fact that PUBG will be an "Xbox One exclusive" for "late 2017." Oh boy, here we go again.

    So does this mean now that PUBG is not coming to other platforms at all? Does it mean that PUBG is only coming to the Xbox One in late 2017 but will hit other platforms presumably when it leaves "early access" for consoles in 2018? Who then will publish the game on the PlayStation 4? Is it a timed exclusive regardless of "early access" or not? Who the hell even knows anymore. Microsoft loves to shove this "exclusive" bullshit at every opportunity that the word has lost all meaning.

    At least one reliable source says that PUBG is not fully exclusive to the Xbox One. It has that Rise of the Tomb Raider levels of exclusive in that it will be on the PS4 later, probably after it leaves Early Access/Preview and is ready for final release. PUBG is not locked in to one platform and they (Bluehole) is free to self-publish on other platforms.
