This also marks the end of the exclusivity Microsoft was enjoying for PUBG for its Xbox console. Since the game never really took off on Xbox as well as it did on PC and mobile phones, it will be interesting to see if PS4 will get more users than the Xbox.

“We’re excited to expand our PUBG service and introduce new communities to our Battle Royale game” Changhan Kim, CEO of PUBG Corp was quoted by The Verge as saying.
