PUBG: Battlegrounds will leave PS4 and Xbox One behind later this year<p>
PUBG: Battlegrounds is finally ready to ditch last-gen consoles. On Wednesday, the developer <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:1;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="
https://pubg.com/en/news/9005">said[/url] that the game will transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 13.</p>
<p>Although the battle royale has been playable on current-gen consoles all along, it was running as a PS4 or Xbox One game. That helped it cast a wide net (and probably make more money), but it also came with technical limitations. The company said the move to current-gen will "provide our players with a more stable gameplay environment on console and ensure a smoother, more seamless experience with future updates."</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>PS5 players can expect the new version to play in 1440p at 60fps. Both the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X will reach 2160p at 60fps. However, the two high-end systems will support Dynamic 4K resolution. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S will run at 1080p at 60fps or 1440p at 30fps. (Your choice.)</p>
<p>Here's how
PUBG: Battlegrounds currently looks on PS5.</p>

<p>And this is how it will look after November 13. It's a subtle difference at first glance, but you can see more detail, including pronounced shadows.</p>

<p>When the cutoff arrives, the game will no longer be downloadable or playable on PS4 and Xbox One. PlayStation users will need to download a separate PS5 version of the game on November 13. If you already have it installed on your Xbox Series X/S, the current-gen update will install automatically via <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="

<p>PUBG left its last-gen users a sentimental message that sounds a bit like a corporate layoff letter. "We still vividly remember the epic battles, the heart-stopping moments, and the camaraderie that brought us together," the company wrote. "We are deeply grateful for every moment you've spent with us over the past eight years."</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
