PUBG: Battlegrounds will end support on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles after over eight years. The move is being made in order to focus on improving the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released in November, 2013. As the hardware becomes more dated, it’s getting left behind in favour of the latest consoles on the market. Many titles and developers have already moved on, with more games sure to follow in the near future.
Out with the old, in with the new
From November 13, 2025, the console version of PUBG will be supported only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
According to KRAFTON, “this shift is a necessary step toward aligning PUBG Console with current-gen consoles. To provide our players with a more stable gameplay environment on console and ensure a smoother, more seamless experience with future updates, we’ve decided to transition to current-gen consoles. Following this transition, console players will see improved visuals and more stable frame rates. In addition, we expect to reduce ongoing crash issues through memory-related optimizations.”
After a live server maintenance period on November 13, PUBG will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Your existing account data and purchased items will be carried over. You can log in on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S at any time after the transition and continue playing with your existing account.
Although old-generation consoles are being abandoned, those that are able to transition to current-gen will be able to enjoy a smoother PUBG experience.
