In the wise words of Bluehole Inc, "Sup Chicken Addicts!" If you haven't had a chance to check out the battle royale game that took the pre-existing genre to new heights, now's your chance! Xbox has just announced that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is getting a free-to-play weekend event and the best part? It starts now!
From now until April 22nd, Xbox Gold members can take part in the hunt for that illusive winner, winner chicken dinner for free! This gives players a perfect chance to try out the battle royale title at no risk to see if it's your style. With Fortnite's battle royale mode currently free, it's a solid chance for Xbox players to decide whether or not the more realistic approach to this genre is worth shelling out some cash for.
Now through April 22, #PUBG is FREE to play with Xbox Live Gold. Who will you squad up with? https://t.co/5UUkOw5mPa pic.twitter.com/zlavKGndgP
