PUBG: Battlegrounds Console switches from PS4/Xbox One to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with Update 38.2, and those older consoles will be phased out from downloadable and playable status.

Smart Delivery will automatically provide current‑gen versions to eligible Xbox users, with the transition taking effect around November 13 when Update 38.2 rolls out.

The Console Service Update 38.2 is scheduled to begin on November 13, 2025, marking the formal transition to newer generation consoles.

Players can earn 500 G-coins by inviting a new or returning player to the game.

Long‑time players will automatically receive thank‑you gifts after maintenance on November 13, including a Parachute icon, a Desolate Military Base nameplate, and a Graffiti emblem.

Console‑exclusive events will continue after the update, with rewards including 500 G‑Coin, and full event details to be announced later.

Rewards eligibility requires accounts created on Xbox One, One S, One X, or PS4 before the November 13 maintenance, with existing data and purchases preserved through the transition.

Special bundles are planned for PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass members, alongside a future Battlegrounds Plus discount.

Available bundles include 2025 PlayStation Plus Exclusive Bundle #4 (PS Plus) and 2025 Xbox Game Pass Exclusive Survivor Pack #4 (Xbox Game Pass), claimable through January 8, 2026.

Accounts created before the launch will automatically receive PUBG Icons Parachute, Desolate Military Base nameplate, and PUBG Graffiti emblem in their inventories.

Update 38.2 maintenance is scheduled for November 13 from 01:00 to 12:00 UTC, with preloads starting November 12 at 02:00 UTC.

PS5 and PS4 versions are separate products, so PS5 players will need to reconfigure in‑game settings and trophy data on PS5 will reset, while Xbox achievements remain intact.
