Hello players,

Effective after January 1st, 2024, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS will no longer support launching via all PC platforms (Steam, Epic Games Store, Kakao) on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 systems.

With Microsoft's discontinuation of support for older Windows versions, our resources (including anti-cheat) have been increasingly consumed to maintain security on these operating systems. However, this effort has required a significant portion of our internal assets - therefore, to optimize our anti-cheat resources and concentrate on delivering enhanced services on modern operating systems, we have made the decision to also cease our support for Windows 7 to 8.1.

What does this mean for you?

If you're currently playing PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS using either Windows 7, 8, or 8.1, please be aware that after January 1st, 2024, the game will not be operational on these platforms. We recommend upgrading to a more modern operating system as soon as possible, such as Windows 10 or later.

• For information on identifying your current Windows version, refer to this guide.
• If you're looking to upgrade your Windows operating system, find detailed guide here.

We appreciate your understanding as we make these changes.

We hope to see you continuing your survival journey on updated platforms.
