There is new information about a port for PlayStation 4 for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The PS4 release is not confirmed yet, but Bluehole is in talks with Sony.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently the biggest PC game on Steam. The battle royale shooter has broken all records, even though it still carries the status of “Early Access.”
The game is already announced for Xbox One. It is considered the “hottest exclusive title” of this year and is scheduled to be released on Xbox by the end of 2017. Microsoft has announced that they will help the developer Bluehole to become even more successful.
But will PUBG also come to PS4?
It seems that it’s actually not so clear, as long thought. Earlier this year, in an interview with the Korean gaming site Inven it was announced that they were planning a version for PlayStation 4. Since then, however, nothing more has been heard on that. The developers have stubbornly refused any information regarding a PS4 port in recent months. Until now.
Bluehole in talks with Sony about the port of PUBG to PS4
In a conversation with the financial site Bloomberg, it was mentioned: “The Korean developer Bluehole is in talks with Sony about a PUBG version for PlayStation” – but only after PUBG is released for Xbox One.
More details discussed: Apparently, the Chinese giant Tencent has actually offered to buy shares in Bluehole and enter into a “publishing deal” for the Chinese market. Bluehole had denied a rumor that Tencent wanted to buy the development studio.
Now, Tencent is considered an interesting partner. The talks are promising.
From Vagabond to Millionaire
In addition, the life story of PlayerUnknown has been highlighted. Brendan Greene, born in Ireland, moved to Brazil for love. However, the love did not last long, and Greene found himself stranded without money near São Paulo. At that time, he earned just over €300 a month by designing websites and shooting wedding photos.
Since then, a lot has happened
His current partner in Korea, Chang Byung-gu, wants to give him shares in Bluehole to secure a long-term partnership. Chang refers to Greene as a “gypsy who became a millionaire overnight.“
