PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Dev gives Xbox One price details

4.5
PUBG developer Bluehole has no plans to increase the price on PC or Xbox One.

Battlegrounds creator Brendan Green told GamesIndustry.biz that there are no plans to go down the same path as ARK Survival Evolved and increase its price.

"We don't have a plan to increase at the moment," he said. "That could change, but from my understanding, and from what we've talked about internally, we want to keep the same price."

Green said that $30 is a good price, especially for a game with such long-term appeal.

"We're happy. $30 is a good price for what you're getting, and this is a game that could last for five or ten years. You're buying into something bigger than just a year-long game."

he slightly lower price point and word of mouth has seen PUBG become one of the most popular games on Steam.

But despite its popularity, Green still thinks it can reach more people, and perhaps even compete with the likes of League of Legends.

"Our sales curves are just going up," he continued. "They're not slowing down. I'm still waiting for that plateau, and it's just not happening yet.

"When you ask about growth on PC, I just look at League of Legends. 100 million active users a month, I think, something stupid like that?

"If we play our cards right, maybe we can get to that level of users."

GiantBipper Glad they didn't make it $60, but I would've bought it anyways lol


Pretty good price tbh didn't expect that - I and many others would've been happy to pay much more.

It's going to be massive on Xbox and get tons of sales regardless but I don't see how they are going to bind all the keys to a console controller, may cause problems in the game. Really hope this comes to PS4 sometime next year though since then I'd be able to play it with my mates

I think $30 is a very fair price for this game

MeowersPosted:

When PC games are usually cheaper and or free I'm glad they chose $30. Especially since Microsoft Studios is doing a lot to port it and improve the performance on Xbox. This is going to be great with parties of people.

Shit 30 is great I would of paid 60 for this badass game

I expected $60 but $30 is perfect, but to be honest even if it was $60 everyone will still buy it including me.

$30 isn't that bad of a price, I'm glad they didn't make it $60 like others would have
