On what date did PUBG: Battlegrounds release for PlayStation 4?

The story behind the answer

PUBG: Battlegrounds released for PlayStation 4 on December 7, 2018.

The PS4 version was announced in November 2018, following PUBG’s earlier arrival on Windows and Xbox One. PUBG Corporation had been working on the port for some time, but development accelerated after the Xbox One edition was largely completed. The release brought the battle royale to Sony’s console audience with the same core last-player-standing format.

The PS4 launch also included platform-themed cosmetic items: Nathan Drake’s outfit from Uncharted and Ellie’s backpack from The Last of Us. These promotional extras helped distinguish the console release without changing the underlying gameplay.

A common mix-up is September 4, 2018, which was the date PUBG’s Xbox One version left its Game Preview period for its 1.0 release. April 28, 2020, refers to the game’s Stadia launch, not its PlayStation debut. Cross-platform play between PS4 and Xbox One arrived later, in October 2019.
