A release date for PUBG for the PlayStation 4 is revealed to be in December, according to a report by ResetEra. If confirmed, PUBG will be coming exactly one year after it hit stores for the Xbox One last year in December.
Daniel Ahmad, a video game analyst corroborated to the rumor on the forum ResetEra, and found references to the game in their console’s database. In addition, they also dug up 2 promotional images for it, which according to them are hosted on Sony’s servers. Along with these images, the user also found content IDs for both the North American and the European stores.
The arrival of PUBG on the PS4 is no surprise since it was expected from a long time that it would be coming. The delay could only mean that the one year Xbox One exclusive deal s nearing its end which allows the game an entrance in the PlayStation world.
