PUBG fans have been given some great price news ahead of the Xbox One release date.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has a December 12 release date and £24.99 price tag on the Xbox One store.

But UK retailer ShopTo has already slashed the price of the game ahead of launch.

UK customers can pick up a download code for the Xbox One version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for just £19.95 from ShopTo.

This includes free UK delivery to ensure you receive your copy of Battlegrounds on time.

The news comes as such as character skins, shoes, hats, parachutes and gloves.

It’s worth noting that the Xbox One version is still a work in progress.

Brendan Greene – aka PlayerUnknown – told fans that the PC and Xbox One development roadmaps are at different stages.

The Xbox One version will be slightly behind the PC edition and will be shaped based on feedback from fans.

“We’re approaching development on Xbox One with the same community-driven focus that we’ve taken with the game on PC,” Greene said. 

“As a result, the ultimate battle royale experience that fans play on Xbox One will be slightly different than what players know today on PC.

Interestingly, the game is also said to be in development for mobile platforms in China.

Developed by Tencent, the mobile version is said to contain all of the core game’s features and will play in the same way.

Battlegrounds takes place on a remote island where 100 players compete to be the sole survivor.

Players must gather supplies, armour and weapons in order to defeat other players. And in a unique twist, the battleground actually gets smaller as games go on.
