Sony announced on November 15 that the multi-player battle royale game, "PlayerUnknown's Battleground" or "PUBG" is coming to PlayStation 4 in December with three maps: Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok. The game was originally available on PC, Mobile, and Xbox One.
According to the developer, the PS4 version will have "all major features, ranked system, event mode, achievements and much more." But a few days before the release date, players can now pre-order the game's exclusive skins and cosmetics, as per Dexerto, and a leak suggested that the game will be packed with a new snow-themed map just in time for the holidays.
There are different versions of "PUBG" available for pre-order at the moment:

Developer PUBG Corporation also said that the game is "enhanced for PS4 Pro systems, including support for HDR lighting on compatible TV sets." Microsoft also previously announced that the game is among the 15 games coming to Xbox Game Pass this month.
Long before the developer announced that "PUBG" is coming to PlayStation 4, the version has been one of the hottest topics on the internet for quite some time although the developer had expressed its desire to bring the game to PS4, and to every platform. The South Korean rating boards also listed a PlayStation port in September 2018.
Generally, "PUBG" is a commercial success, selling over one million copies during its first two days of release in the face of its beta period at that time. The developers were even surprised that the game became a success in its first month.
It was first launched in March 2017 for Microsoft's Windows as part of Steam's early access beta program. Since the launch, the developer continued to add a plethora of updates of the game such as weapons, modes, and new maps.
"PUBG" hits PlayStation 4 on December 7.
