PUBG is now available on Google Stadia. Features cross-platform play and "Click to Play" which allows players to start playing by clicking a link.

Today’s Stadia Connect brought a lot of announcements with it, but nothing compared to this bomb. PUBG, the first battle royale title to make it big, is now dropping on Stadia. That means if you have Stadia Pro right now, you can use your chrome browser, phone, tablet, pretty much any device with a screen, and start playing right now. If you’re a free Stadia user, you’ll have to pay $30 for the base game or $40 to bundle the game and its current season pass.

While PUBG is already available on consoles and on mobile devices, this is the first time you’ll be able to play the battle royale title on other devices with cross-platform play. That’s right, you can play PUBG in a Google Chrome browser with a mouse and keyboard against people playing on consoles.

If you’ve played PUBG on a few platforms before, you can already see how this might be a problem. It’s common for PC gamers to talk about how much better mouse and keyboard are for shooter games, that these controls allow for faster movement and reactions compared to a controller with joysticks. In my experience, that’s doubly true for PUBG, and now players on Stadia using a mouse and keyboard will likely have a huge advantage over their console counterparts.
