Here’s when PUBG: Battlegrounds free-to-play update goes live

Chicken Dinners incoming.

Soon everyone will have a chance to attain the prestigious chicken dinner when PUBG: Battlegrounds  goes free-to-play this week.

Yes, what many consider the original battle royale game will soon join Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Fortnite as another free title in the genre. Funny how a trendsetter is ending up as another follower.

PUBG: Battlegrounds  free-to-play update goes live Jan. 12 for both PC and consoles. However, the times vary a smidge depending on which platform you intend to play on:

PC on Jan. 11 at 11 P.M. PDT // Jan. 12 at 2 A.M. EDT

Xbox and PlayStation on Jan. 12 at 12 A.M. PDT // 3 A.M. EDT

The console times shouldn’t change whether you’re on PS4 or Xbox One. PUBG: Battlegrounds is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility.

If you’re one of the millions that bought PUBG: Battlegrounds  years ago, you’ll automatically gain access to Battleground Plus — a premium service upgrade that grants the following:

  • Ranked Mode
  • Survival Mastery XP + 100 percent boost
  • 1300 G-coins
  • Career Medal Tab
  • Captain’s Camo Gloves
  • Captain’s Camo Mask
  • Captain’s Camo Hat

Anyone can pick up Battleground Plus for $13, even if they didn’t own PUBG: Battlegrounds  beforehand.

2021 Global Championship for ‘PUBG: Battlegrounds’ starts November 19

This November, 32 teams will compete for over $2 Million.

PlayerUnknown might’ve taken his leave from PUBG: Battlegrounds, but that hasn’t stopped the battle royale phenomenon from proceeding with its 2021 Global Championships. On Monday, PUBG Esports announced that its massive tournament would begin on Nov. 19. 

Like many other prominent esports events this year, the 2021 PUBG Global Global Championships will utilize both LAN and online elements for its tournament structure to ensure the safety of all participants, with teams being invited to Paradise City in Incheon, Korea to participate. The five-week-long event will run from Nov. 19 through Dec. 19, with 32 teams from all over the world competing for a staggering $2 Million.

“The year 2021 was another tough one due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” reads a statement from the PUBG Esports Team. “But we’ve done our best to continue PUBG Esports globally by hosting PGI.S and 2 PUBG Continental Series events.”

Safe to say that everyone even slightly interested in PUBG: Battlegrounds will tune in this November.
