PUBG: Battlegrounds will switch to a free-to-play model in January, as per Krafton. The Krafton made the announcement at The Game Awards 2021 on 9th December 2021, revealing that the game would also offer access to additional match modes and special in-game rewards for users who pay for a one-time, non-recurring upgrade.
Krafton has also announce a pre-registration offer for gamers, with an “invite a friend” event and “my PUBG play style” quiz which will all offer rewards once the upcoming free-to-play game is launch.
PUBG, which is currently a paid game, will be free-to-play for all users starting 12th January 2022.
The game is currently price set at Rs. 999 on Steam in India.
The game will be free to download and play, but Krafton will restrict some items and game modes to paying gamers.
Players who choose to purchase Battlegrounds Plus, a $12.99 (approx. Rs. 980) “upgrade” to the free version, will gain access to special in-game rewards, plus rank and custom match modes.
Krafton will give users who have already purchase the game access to a PUBG Special Commemorative Pack, which includes in-game rewards in addition to Battlegrounds Plus.
The free-to-play version of the game will be available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One.
As the 12th January 2022 date approaches, Krafton has announce three promotional events which gamers can participate in, to win in-game rewards.
The first event requires users to link their Krafton ID to their gaming platform before 12th January 2022 to receive a Highside Slick Backpack, Highside Slick Top, and two Preset Slot Coupons valid for seven days.
Gamers can invite three friends before 12th January 2022 to win a Highside Slick Helmet, Iron G-Coin Box, and a Bonus Reward.
The last event, called “My PUBG Play Style” is a quiz that grants gamers a PUBG: Battlegrounds spray, and 10 Contraband Coupons.
