Is PUBG Cross Platform in 2026?

Partly. PUBG matches PS5 with Xbox Series X|S, and Steam with Epic on PC, but PC and console stay separate.

Krafton retired last-gen consoles after the November 2025 maintenance, so console play now runs on current-gen hardware. That differs from Warzone, which still bridges PS4 and PS5 in one pool.

TL;DR – PUBG Crossplay Status

  • Crossplay: Partial
  • Consoles: PS5 with Xbox
  • Mobile: Separate, no crossplay
  • Cross-save: Not supported
  • Cross-generation: PS4 and Xbox One ended November 13, 2025; current-gen only now

FAQs

Is PUBG cross platform between PC and console?

No. PC and console run separate matchmaking pools, so a PC player cannot squad with a PS5 or Xbox player on PUBG.

Can PS5 and Xbox players play PUBG together?

Yes. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S share one console pool, with crossplay on by default. Open Settings, then Gameplay, and confirm Cross-Platform Play is enabled to invite friends across consoles.

Does PUBG support cross-save?

No. Progress, cosmetics, and purchases stay locked to the platform where you earned them. Moving from PC to console means starting over, the same limit found in Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

Is PUBG Mobile cross platform with PC?

No. PUBG Mobile is a separate game on its own servers. iOS and Android players match only with each other, much like how UNO keeps each platform apart.

Will PUBG Ever Be Cross Platform?

Krafton has not announced PC-to-console crossplay. The current setup keeps PC, console, and mobile in separate pools. Watch official channels for any change.
