PUBG is almost already a classic, as the title of Krafton has marked in recent years, becoming one of the flagship of the battle-royale genre. Like many of its ilk, the game will go free-to-play on all platforms on January 12.
If DayZ and H1Z1 are older, PUBG is clearly the game that blew up the battle-royale genre before Fortnite became the phenomenon we know. But unlike Epic Games with Fortnite, Activision-Blizzard with Call of Duty: Warzone or Electronic Arts with Apex Legends, Krafton never wanted to switch to the free-to-play model because the success of the game was already there, even paying off. This is about to change so, five years after its launch.
