Many people who are fans of PlayerUknown’s Battleground will be upset with the latest news, but it doesn’t mean it is bad news. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds recently got an update on its Steam Community page from ‘PlayerUknown’ himself. Brendan Greene, announced that the game’s full release has been pushed back to the end of 2017.
The news of this delay will likely disappoint many of their dedicated fans, but Greene made a point to assure players that the original time frame “could hinder us from delivering a fully featured game and/or lead to disappointment within the community.” The delay will allow them to polish and fix some of the bugs.
“We will continue to push weekly and monthly updates until full launch as we want to ensure that the game we release is the best version possible. This is why we’re giving a launch window rather than an exact date. We hope this makes sense, and appreciate your understanding.”
News on the Xbox One version of the game was strangely left out of this update, although a delay for the console version would not be surprising.
We’ll have to wait and see what Microsoft says about this as well and how it could effect the console version.
