PUBG announced that he would give up support for the aging PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, starting in November, after eight years of service.
The Battle Royale Game veteran said earlier that she would switch its console version to support only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S this year. Now we know when.
In a statement for the player base, the game programmers said that this decision “important” after so many years, but was now a “indispensable step” to better support the PS5 and Xbox Series Xbox compilations and make sure that they were not stopped.
“This change is an indispensable step towards equalizing the PUBG console to consoles of the current generation”, a team of game programmers wrote Today. “To provide our players with a more stable game environment on the console and provide a smoother, smoother impression with future updates, we decided to go to consoles of the current generations.
“After this passage, the console players will see improved visualizations and more stable numbers of frames per second. In addition, we expect to reduce constant failure problems by memory optimization. As part of this transition, we will end the service of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One”.
PUBG will be available for download and played on PS4 and Xbox One until November 13, 2025, after which it will not be available. However, the details of the account and purchased items will be preserved if players log in to PS5 or Xbox Series X/S in the future.
After this time, supported specifications of the Xbox Series series will offer 1080p/1440p at 60 frames per second or 30 FPS, while PlayStation 5 specifications will be 1440p and 60 FPS. The Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro specifications will be 2160p and 60 frames per second. Despite the improvements of newer consoles offers, it is clear that there is a bit of nostalgia for older Sony and Microsoft machines.
“They are weighing us to provide these messages to our consoles who have been liked by PUBG on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for so many years,” continued the programmers. “We still remember vividly epic battles, moments that intensified the heart and camaraderie that connected us. We are deeply grateful for every moment you spent with us in the last eight years.
“It was not a decision made slightly. It arises after a long and careful consideration, in the pursuit of further growth and long -term future of the PUBG console.”
