PUBG Console in 2026: Current-Gen Only

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were cut off in November 2025. Here is what the current-gen build gives you, and what the 2026 roadmap has changed since.

PUBG console is a current-generation-only game now. Support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ended on 13 November 2025, and the game runs on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. Accounts and purchased items carried straight over — there was never a manual transfer step.

Graphics modes

Update 42.2 in July 2026 gave every supported box two presets:

  • Frame Rate Priority — smoother motion, faster response.
  • Resolution Priority — a sharper image at a lower frame target.

Resolution Priority is the default, so the higher frame rate is something you switch on yourself. The targets are 120fps and 60fps, at resolutions that scale with the hardware — 1080p or 1440p on Series S, up to 2160p on Series X and PS5 Pro.

Crossplay

Console plays with console. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S share a matchmaking pool and the toggle sits in settings. PC has its own pool and PUBG Mobile is a separate game, so you cannot squad across that line.

What the roadmap promised

The 2026 console dev letter listed faster out-game menu loading, shipped in July, plus console-specific hit detection tuning and a rethink of the default controller layout. A new in-game Basic Training also landed.
