According to publisher Krafton, PUBG: Battlegrounds has switched to a free-to-play model and is now available to all gamers for free on PC and consoles. To go along with the new Battlegrounds Plus premium account upgrade, Krafton, the publisher of the popular mobile battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India, has introduced a one-time, non-recurring Battlegrounds Plus premium account upgrade. The premium upgrade includes extra G-Coin, a 100% increase in Survival Mastery XP, special in-game items, and custom match functionality with access to the Ranked game mode.
