A new rumor has suggested that PUBG or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds might be going free to play in the near future. The title is one of the most popular battle royale game in the PC gaming market and is apparently seeking to be accessible to everyone soon.

Leak:
PUBG wants to go free-to-play.

They’re going to track player responses in a F2P week that’s happening next month.

Keep in mind, PUBG originally wanted to go F2P in 2019; but didn’t get the player response they wanted att from 2019’s F2P test.

The news arrives from a tweet from PlayerIGN, who stated that the game will become free to play in the future. As per the dataminer, the decision to go free to play, however, will be largely based on the reception of its current playerbase. In other words, the studio behind PUBG will track the player’s response in a free to play week that is reportedly set to arrive sometime next month. So, the game could go free depending on whether there is an influx of new players and that the existing players react positively to the change.

Notably, PlayerIGN also added that PUBG had aimed on becoming free to play back in 2019. Although, the studio did not receive the player response that they had wanted back during the free to play test run in 2019, so this decision was scrapped. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates. Also, let us know in the comments section down below what you feel about the game possibly going free to play.
