Gamesradarpoints to PlayerIGN, a reliable source of PUBG secrets (they called the recent update’s plane crashesthree weeks ago) that succinctlystates: “PUBG wants to go free-to-play. They’re going to track player responses in a F2P week that’s happening next month.”

The shadowy leaker also suggested that a previous free week was a similar test for a potential F2P do-over, but that the fan response to it wasn’t what was expected. There was a ‘Lite’ version of the game that was F2P, but it wascanned earlier this year. Maybe they were making room?
For now, they’re still pumping out updates. Version 13.1 wentlive today, and included PlayerIGN’s predicted plane crashes, where the flight that delivers players to the battlefield could develop engine trouble. You can choose to leap out, or ride it all the way to the ground, taking 50% damage at the start of the round. It’s exclusive to the most recent map that was added, Taego.
I recently retried PUBG and discovered a game that feels lost in its past as an Arma mod. It felt oddly floaty and leaden at the same time, and I returned toWarzone, which felt way more responsive and enjoyable. It’s still hugely popular, but it feels like it could use a shake-up.
