Gamescom: PUBG Adding Cross-Play On PS4 And Xbox One
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corp. had some big news to share during this week's Inside Xbox livestream. Along with a trailer for the game's upcoming Season 4 update, which is set to kick off soon on Xbox One following its PC release last month, the studio revealed that it is working on implementing a highly requested feature: cross-play on consoles--and it's coming soon.
According to PUBG Corp., cross-platform play will be enabled on the game's public test server in late September, with a live rollout expected to follow in early October. Once the feature is implemented, players on Xbox One will be able to jump into matches in the popular battle royale game with those on PS4.
"Our first goal with cross platform play was for 100 players from both console communities to be able to play in the same match," PUBG Corp. community manager Cecillia Lee wrote in an Xbox Wire post. "Our second goal was to improve our matchmaking times, which we expect to be shorter for due to the wider matchmaking pool."
