Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, the multiplayer battle royale game that has been a phenomenal success on Windows PC, is coming exclusively to Xbox One “later this year” via Xbox One Game Preview, developer Bluehole announced today during Microsoft’s E3 2017 press briefing.
Brendan Greene — the man behind the Playerunknown handle — came out on stage to announce the Xbox One port. He added that the final version of the game will include an update with “enhancements” for the Xbox One X, the final name of the device codenamed Project Scorpio. The enhancements include support for 4K resolution; you can see a 4K trailer for the Xbox One version above.
Greene noted that the PC version of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds currently has more than 3 million registered players. The game is currently available in the Steam Early Access program, where it debuted in late March.
