Back in 2017, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds took the gaming community by storm. The game offered a battle royale experience on the computer platform for a price of Rs. 1,499(~$20). But, now, the creative director of Krafton has confirmed that PUBG will be soon free-to-play.

According to Dave Curd, the creative director, PlayerUnknow’s Battleground a.k.a PUBG will be free-to-play for the PC platform. The game is touted to be free-to-play from January 12 2022. It is already up for pre-registrations and the game copy will have most of the elements free. But, some elements including ranked matchmaking will be paid.

The ranked matchmaking and other elements can be unlocked by paying a one-time fee of $12.99(~Rs. 982). This fee will essentially be an account upgrade for the game. It will unlock features like custom match modes, special in-game items, and others.

According to reports, earlier, PUBG was one of the most popular games ever with over 75 million copies sold. However, it seemed to be losing grip from the audience and to get it back, PUBG may have decided to make it free-to-play.
