PUBG Arrives On Xbox Game Pass Tomorrow

PUBG Xbox Game Pass

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds became an overnight sensation, drawing millions of gamers into the battle royale. A port to Xbox One grew the game’s playerbase even further. Soon, those numbers should increase once again. PUBG is arriving on Xbox Game Pass on November 12, making the title free for new players.

Microsoft made the announcement November 10 at X018. Subscribers to Microsoft’s “Netflix for games” won’t have to pay $30 to give PUBG a spin. Instead, they can obtain the game for that perfect price of $0. The game boasts an impressive number of active players, including millions in China. By making a deal like this, Microsoft and Bluehole should see another influx of squads. The developers have injected some life with new maps and content, but nothing pushes a game forward like devoted fans.

Upping the ante even further, Microsoft just slashed the cost for Xbox Game Pass. The subscription fee now runs at $1. Yes, you can play their extensive catalog of games for one buck. That is a limited time offer, however, so if you aren’t already a subscriber, get on it quickly!

Previously, Xbox Game Pass primarily focused on single player titles, including Fallout 4. The inclusion of PUBG may help steer the game towards a more diverse library. It may also be that Microsoft simply could not ignore the title’s overwhelming popularity. Either way, Xbox One should see an influx of players very soon. Xbox Game Pass is also heading to PC, offering yet another competitor to Steam’s reign of dominance. There’s never been a better time to be a gamer on a budget.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is available for PC and Xbox One now. Rumors indicate that the smash-hit will soon arrive on the PlayStation 4 as well. We will keep you updated on a release date as soon as Sony makes it available.
