With games like Warzone, Fortnite, and Apex Legends dominating the Battle Royale genre, some gamers may forget the game that started it all, PUBG. Now, with PUBG on consoles and its new free-to-play model, the game has a chance to regain its place. With cross-platform games, we wonder if PUBG: Battlegrounds is cross-platform?
PUBG: Battlegrounds is actually cross-platform when it comes to console gaming. This means that players on Xbox and PlayStation can team up and compete against each other. However, this game does not support cross-play as far as PC is concerned. PC players do not have the option to play with people on Xbox or Playstation.

The reason for this split between console and PC gamers could be for several reasons. One of the most obvious is that PC gamers have a huge advantage over console gamers due to the fact that they can use a mouse and keyboard. However, the reason for the split is more likely because full cross-platform play is a technological nightmare. Setting this up would take a lot of work from the dev team, and they're probably too busy working on PUBG 2 to tackle full cross-platform support.
So here it is, PUBG: Battlegrounds is cross-platform for Xbox and PlayStation consoles but not for PC. Despite the games declining in popularity, the game still holds Steam's record for most players, and with the new free-to-play model, the game might once again have a chance to shine.
