PUBG is having a free weekend on Steam right now –

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, PUBG Corporation’s genre defining battle royale experience, is free-to-play this weekend on Steam.

Battlegrounds, or PUBG, to its friends, inspired a wave of similarly styled last-man-standing games following its early access release in 2017, and while it’s long-since been overshadowed by the likes of Fortnite and Apex Legends, the game still enjoys a healthy audience, regularly welcoming well over 200,000 players a month on Steam according to SteamCharts.

Since its initial release, PUBG’s 100-player skirmishes have expanded to cover six maps – a tutorial area, original location Erangel, the desert expanse of Miramar, the North African Karakin, the rainforest-themed Sanhok, and the snow-covered Vikendi – with the latter having received a major makeover earlier this year as part of its ongoing Season 7.
