PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is not coming to the PlayStation 4 until a later date, as Microsoft has locked up timed exclusive rights to the title while it works its way through Early Access. But that’s left an open goal for Epic Games’ recently revealed Fortnite Battle Royale – and it’s going to do everything within its power to take advantage.
Essentially, the developer’s announced that the mode will be releasing for free as a standalone download on the PS4 from 26th September. This means that you won’t need to own the main version of Fortnite – where the mode is currently being tested – in order to play it. To repeat: everyone will be able to download the 100-player shooter for free.
It’s savvy, aggressive stuff from Epic Games – and as far as we’re aware, the mode itself is pretty good, too. There’s no doubt that it’s going to capture the attention of gamers looking for a PUBG-esque experience on console – its biggest challenge will be ensuring that those same folks stick around.

@b1ackjack_ps Well, let's not get crazy.
To be fair this is a great tactic from the company. Aggressive yes, but I think it will go down well.
Count me in.
Poor mans pubg
It will be more fun to play once they add teams to it rather than playing solo. Developers just do not seem that interested in bringing battle royale style games to PS4. So this will fill the gap until PUBG comes and dominates the PS4.
Sweet cant wait to try it out
It's not a terrible mode, needs some improvements to inventory management and such, but whatever you do don't pick up an auto assault rifle. The spray is bad, like, stormtrooper bad.
