PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is having a free-to-play weekend soon

Microsoft has announced a free trial for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds this month as part of its Xbox Live Gold Free Play Days.

From April 19 to 22, Xbox Live Gold subscribers will be able download and play the full Xbox Game Preview version of PUBG completely free. This means they’ll have access to all the game modes including solo, duo and squads. If, after your short trial, you decide you’d like to purchase the game for good any battle points you earn during the trial will be carried over.

When the game becomes free at at 12:01 AM PT/ 8 AM BST on April 19, finding it to download is as simple as going to the Gold Member area on the Xbox Live dashboard. As well as a free weekend, Microsoft has also announced brand new DLC for PUBG called PUBG5 pack (though this is definitely not free).

The DLC comes with new cosmetic items including a new hat, jeans, shirt and boots which won’t affect gameplay at all. If you decide to purchase this DLC while you’re playing the free weekend, it’ll also be carried over if you choose to buy the final game.
