A PlayStation cameo in PUBG's Gamescom trailer reignites rumours of an impending PS4 release

Did you spot it? And should we be expecting a PlayStation related announcement soon?

*Grabs popcorn*

For.what? I would think this game would be coming to ps4 and switch. It's on PC, xbox, mobile... why stop their? I figured xbox had it 1st (console wise) because of the early access. This allows xbox to have the game early and devs fix it time. A win for everyone

[ProjectVulcan]

It was always going to end up on PS4, but it's hardly fixed despite being on Xbox One for 9 months. It still runs like crap, there isn't much point playing it on anything other than PC.

I don't like Fortnite but at least it is a solid console title that runs and play well enough on any of these systems.

[Silly Mammo]

But will it have cross play?!? /s

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

This game is SUPER heavy on CPU and barely hits 30fps on an OG X1! So my question is how is the PS4 going to handle this CPU extensive game when the clock speed per core is 1.6ghz vs the OG X1's 1.75ghz? I hope the PS4 camp gets a stable game but after playing over 2,000 matches in PUBG on X1 while transitioning to X over this past year, it has been a rough road on the framerate side...

[81BX]

There... I meant there.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

Why? We all know it's coming.

[lxeasy]

I was under the impression PUBG was a timed exclusive

[ziggurcat]

it is, and always has been a timed exclusive. there was nothing indicating that it was a full-on console exclusive. there was a rumoured attempt on MS's part to extend the timed exclusivity deal, but nothing was ever confirmed.

[Elda]

As a PS4 Pro owner personally I could care less if it lands on the platform or not,no interest in battle royale games...ijs.

[conanlifts]

I found it a bit overrated. Played it for about 10 hours then moved on. Once it gets a full release I will try again, but it certainly wasn't a defining moment in games for me.

[sinspirit]

It's a great concept, but now that we've all "been there, done that" we need something with more intuitive gameplay, and we need a gritty BR game with realistic physics. PUBG is dropping the ball in gameplay and taking advantage of its game engine.

[alb1899]

I said that before play battlegrounds and I'm eating my words right now because battlegrounds is the game that I have enjoyed more this gen and it is very stable and they are releasing on September the finish game.
I really hope PS4 only owners can have this experience and I hope that crossplay is available.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

No, they are not sarcasm, and they are not the same thing, with "couldn't" being that only correct one. Regardless, why bother clicking and posting if you apparently don't care? I'll never understand why people do this.

[Elda]

That's clearly your opinion,but it's both sarcasm in my book including as long as one isn't being disrespectful to an individual folks can make whatever comment they want may one likes it or not.That's why there's a comment option & an option to agree or disagree.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It's not my opinion. You're just wrong. It's not sarcasm. That's not what sarcasm even is. There is no humor or irony in the phrase at all, passive or otherwise. It's just straightforward English. And saying you're allowed to leave comments just avoids the question of *why* comment on something that you say you "could care less" about.

[Elda]

Again that's your opinion.I & others will continue to say Could or Couldn't care less knowing it's pure sarcasm for not giving a damn.You will never change my stance on that...ever.

[psynetik]

Too little, too late? Fortnite has completely stolen their thunder, so I don't even know why they're bothering.

[DarkVoyager]

They done it to themselves by siding with Microsoft and not releasing the game on PS4 with their massive 80+ million user base.

[Kiwi66]

Then why not have the devs release their game on all consoles that way no user base will miss out

[RememberThe357]

Isn't the bigger issue the actual game itself?

[DarkVoyager]

“Isn't the bigger issue the actual game itself?“

It’s both.

Siding with Microsoft kept the game from growing at the pace Fortnite did. If they’d had accsess to Sony’s massive PS4 userbase the game would have grown much more popular.

Second problem is the game itself just isn’t as good as Fortnite. It runs at half the framerate, has more bugs, and looks worse.

[porkChop]

I've played both extensively on PC and I personally think PUBG is a better BR game. Let me try to explain why.

PUBG has a lot of faults and things that piss me off. It's not well optimized. It has bugs and glitches. The vehicles are kind of finicky. But it still plays and feels better than Fortnite. Especially with the newest map. It feels like a proper shooter, and there's a level of tension that you just don't get in Fortnite.

Fortnite has the building and stuff, and that's cool and all. But the amount of times I have to bail on my aim in order to build... it just doesn't feel right in a shooter. On top of that, the gun combat and aim still feels "off" in Fortnite. It just doesn't feel like a proper shooter.

Fortnite isn't a bad game. It's good at most of what it tries to do, and it offers a different kind of experience. I actually really love how Epic rapidly builds on and expands the game. And I wish more games would get that level of support.

But PUBG just plays and feels better as a shooter, and the tension can sometimes ramp up much more than other games. And those are the most important parts of these games.

[Fluke_Skywalker]

I agree that if you play Fortnite as a shooter it's lacking, but it's not designed to be played that way. And when played the way it was designed to be played its pretty damn good. And very frustrating all at the same time.
But yeah they are very different means to the same end. But being free to play has insured that Fortnite has risen very quickly above all others and will likely stay there until everyone loses interest in the whole idea of BR.

[conanlifts]

I was talking about the gun aim in fortnight the other day. There is something wrong with the shooting, but I cant quite put my finger on it. PUBG I will retry when it has fully released in a few weeks. As it stands it was okay, but nothing amazing for me. But yes I agree the aiming and hit detection was more realistic, or at least more similar to other shooters.

[81BX]

Calm down Ricky Bobby

[Razzer]

He seems calm enough. You ok?

[81BX]

It's a movie reference. Talladega nights The ballad of Ricky Bobby. At one point in the movie he says... if you ain't 1st, you're last. Meaning if you're not 1st why bother? Sure pubg isnt 1st in the field but to say I dont even know why they're bothering??? They dont have to be the best to bother

[Mekami86]

Fortnite the game that's all about who can build better? Lol Some of us prefer a realistic shooter fortnite trash

[UCForce]

Nah, i’m not interested.

[StormLegend]

Would love a port but please let it run a solid 30fps at least.

[showtimefolks]

I can play the better BR game for free so no thanks. How could you be do lazy with updating your game and fixing it in a timely manner

FN is a better more polished game which is fun to play

[Movefasta1993]

the building aspect ruined fortnite for me, id happily welcome a stable controller friendly pubg because I heard the controls suck on pads

[Gamist2dot0]

But PS4 already has H1Z1 and Fortnite both are free to play for BR.

[THC CELL]

Climb back up. Ms arse or get bought by em

[wheatley]

I'm guessing PS4 will see it 6 months after version 1 hits XB1

[KillZallthebeast]

Best selling console might get a multiplat game?

[ziggurcat]

it was never an Xbox console exclusive. they made it very clear from the beginning that its exclusivity was only during the early access period.

"console launch exclusive" = timed exclusive.

[KillZallthebeast]

I was being facetious. The first 3 likes either got it or just liked liking? The joke was of course the ps4 got a game ported to it. Honestly n4g is full of people with 0 abilitly to take sarcasim.

[ziggurcat]

reignites rumours? it was always known to be a timed exclusive... the exclusivity of this game was only during the early access period.

[bamillington]

good game.. should come to switch eventually fingers crossed

[Movefasta1993]

it cant even run on the x at 30fps...

[senorfartcushion]

Is there any way to mute/block games from being seen on N4G like Twitter?

I don't want to see any more Spider man articles and for the life of me I don't know any other sites to traverse.

[Dragonscale]

What does this have to do with Spiderman? Anyhow I suppose I'd be butthurt too if a game I really wanted was exclusive to the platform I really hated and was guaranteed to sell gangbusters lol..

[senorfartcushion]

Literally copying and pasting this message:

I know but I've just pre-ordered it and would like to know.

I had an important bit of God of War spoiled for me before the game was even released over here. Comment sections are the easiest places to get answers as mods take slightly longer.

(My thumbnail is my Xbox One and Ps4 controllers together, take the fanboy crap away please, I'm talking about N4G.)

[Razzer]

This isn't a Spider-man article.

[senorfartcushion]

I know but I've just pre-ordered it and would like to know.

[Razzer]

There is no way to block games. You can select tags for game, platform, publisher, etc., but there is no option for filtering out any of them.

Just do your best to avoid them.

[senorfartcushion]

Thanks. That's all I needed.

[Kingoftherodeo]

ps4 already has a free br game ill be tough to get them to try something new. especially when it isn't as easy and you don't have cover to build on your own.

[ILostMyMind]

For what? This game lost its moment.

[EricLane]

I have been looking forward to playing with non-PC friends but by the time this gets released on PS4, I'll have too much to play. Unless it comes out July 2019.

[capjacksparrow]

I thought Fortnite took all the wind out of this game's sails, no? I personally don't care about either game.

[rainslacker]

PUBG is still pretty popular. But Fortnite certainly took all the hype away from PUBG. Epic really rolled Fortnite BR out in a professional manner which the PUBG with their indie dev style marketing just couldn't compete with.

Might be because they were more worried that Epic would hinder their ability to compete with their own development of the game engine, instead of realizing that Epic is a major dev that knows how to play the marketing game, and get people playing their games.

[xX1NORM1Xx]

didn't we already know that is was gonna be on ps4 i swear they call it a console launch exclusive meaning its timed.

[ocelot07]

Don't know why anyone is surprised by this? Bluehole have said for a long time they are working with Sony to bring PUBG to PlayStation. A few people on here in the past kept bringing up the Xbox One version box art pointing out it says Exclusive on the box so it's not coming to PlayStation.

Yes it does indeed say. Xbox One Console Exclusive. But right underneath it says early access edition. Which is correct as the early access was a a "Console Exclusive". The new box art for the full launch says Xbox One Console Launch Exclusive which again is true. But it will be available on PS4 in a few months most likely.

[jznrpg]

Xbox likes to confuse their customers into thinking that some games won’t be anywhere else when they clearly know they will be. Console launch exclusive confuses Xbox fans for some reason but we know it will launch on Xbox first and release other systems. Timed exclusive isn’t as confusing so MS doesn’t use it

[rainslacker]

Sony does it too to be honest. However, they are consistent with their phrasing of the nature of the exclusiveness, and it's usually clear for those that at least pay attention. That kind of stuff is more for the marketing to the casuals though.

[Internal]

Lol you can keep your choppy, janky game. There are literally dozens of heavy hitters coming from September onward.

[Thundercat77]

PUBG will not be able to compete against Fort nite on PS4. Too late. With all the time and money PS4 owners has invested already in Fornite, they will not throw that away.

Very bad business desicion not to release PUBG on PS4 since the start.

[rainslacker]

H1Z1 seems to be picking up a lot of steam as well. And they're both F2P and not being knocked for poor performance.

[SLiSH83]

PUBG and Fortnite are two different games in the BR, genre or “game mode” for some of you.

Fortnite will always have the bigger fan base just because of its F2P vs $20 to get PUBG and PUBG isn’t on “everything yet.

PUBG will be onto its 1.0 release early September it’s I think 4 months behind the PC build.

Anyway from where it was on Xbox to where they have it now is pretty good and is going I. The right direction

[Knightofelemia]

I own an Xbox and I have never been interested in the game if it comes to PS4 pretty sure I will stay not interested in the game. But I have a feeling if PUBG does hit PS4 I am going to guess more articles about Playstation cross platform articles will show up on here if PUBG does come to PS4.

[Sayai jin]

Umm ok.

[PhoenixUp]

I’m surprised Bluehole hasn’t announced the PS4 version yet as PUBG continues to lose relavance towards Fortnite
