PUBG: Battlegrounds Officially Upgrades to PS5 & Xbox Series X/S
PUBG: Battlegrounds Officially Upgrades to PS5 & Xbox Series X/S — Last-Gen Support Ends November 13
Gamers, it’s time to level up. PUBG: Battlegrounds is officially leaving PS4 and Xbox One behind as it makes a full transition to current-gen consoles this fall. Starting November 13, 2025, PUBG will run natively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising smoother performance, better graphics, and a more stable battle royale experience.
Why PUBG Is Saying Goodbye to Last-Gen Consoles
For years, PUBG has been technically running as a PS4 or Xbox One version on newer consoles. This allowed more players to join in, but it came with limitations in graphics, frame rates, and update potential. Now, the developers say this upgrade will “provide players with a more stable gameplay environment on console and ensure a smoother, more seamless experience with future updates.”
Performance Upgrades — What Players Can Expect
With this next-gen PUBG update, expect significant improvements in resolution and frame rates:
-
PS5: 1440p at 60fps
-
PS5 Pro & Xbox Series X: 2160p at 60fps with Dynamic 4K resolution
-
Xbox Series S: Choice of 1080p at 60fps or 1440p at 30fps
These changes mean crisper visuals, improved shadows, and more detailed battlegrounds — giving you that extra edge when hunting down the final circle.
What Happens on November 13
-
PS4 & Xbox One: PUBG will no longer be downloadable or playable.
-
PS5 players: Must download the new PS5 version from the PlayStation Store.
-
Xbox Series X/S players: Update will install automatically via Smart Delivery.
-
Your data is safe: All account progress and purchased items will carry over automatically.
PUBG’s Farewell to Last-Gen Warriors
In a heartfelt statement, PUBG thanked its loyal last-gen players:
“We still vividly remember the epic battles, the heart-stopping moments, and the camaraderie that brought us together. We are deeply grateful for every moment you’ve spent with us over the past eight years.”
Final Takeaway
This PUBG console upgrade marks a new era for one of the most popular battle royale games in the world. With faster frame rates, higher resolutions, and better optimization, November 13 is shaping up to be a must-play milestone for console PUBG fans.
