Starting next month, PUBG: Battlegrounds will be available for free, ushering in a new era for the battle royale game. GRAFTON announced during The Game Awards 2021 that their battle royale game will be free-to-play starting January 12th on PC and consoles.

On the same day that PUBG: Battlegrounds goes free-to-play, Battlegrounds Plus, a premium account upgrade that gives players access to exclusive in-game features, will be released. Those who bought the game before it went free-to-play will get the PUBG – Special Commemorative Pack, which includes an automatic upgrade to Battlegrounds Plus as well as other goodies.
