#PUBG: Battleground

KRAFTON, the studio that developed PlayerUnknown's battlegrounds, has changed the game's title to PUBG: Battlegrounds—therefore being PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds. The studio behind PlayerUnknown's Battleground has changed the game's name on Steam sometime in July. "Rebranding PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to PUBG: Battlegrounds is the first step in us realizing this vision. Additional titles in the franchise will carry the PUBG name, as you see with our upcoming game, PUBG: New State." The takeaway from this is that the studio is developing a universe that will accommodate other titles under PUBG as a step towards their "vision". However, other speculations suggest that they are moving away from the Playerunknown's Battlegrounds because it includes the "PlayerUnknown's" name, which entails that he is responsible for creating the original game. The official name is now PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds, which is redundant. PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS will become a free-to-play game starting January 12, 2022. All players who have owned and played PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS before the free-to-play service transition will automatically receive the PUBG – SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE PACK, which includes a free BATTLEGROUNDS Plus upgrade and additional in-game rewards.
