South Korea's Bluehole Inc. has agreed to produce the game for Microsoft first by the end of the year and is likely to give the company a longer period as the solo console, said the people, asking not to be identified because the matter is private.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is slated to hit the Xbox One later this year, and is now available in early access on Steam at $29.99 Dollars. "Right now, the team is exclusively focused on bringing the best game possible to Xbox One and PC".

The battle royale game isn't even out yet on the Xbox One, but it appears that Microsoft is already looking to capitalize on the expected success of PUBG when it transitions to consoles.

Today, a new article popped up on Bloomberg and it's an interesting one that adds a twist to the tale - Microsoft has started a talk with Bluehole to extend the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox exclusivity deal. "Our development team has been continuously upgrading the service architecture to address the increasing concurrent player numbers and tackle any emerging issues". "Despite our daily efforts, there were some unexpected issues during peak times and we were unable to resolve some of the issues as fast as we would have wanted to". Microsoft did previously get a timed exclusive on Rise of the Tomb Raider, which came to PC and PS4 nearly a full year after the Xbox release.

While there is no confirmed date, Bluehole has said they are in talks with all major console manufactures about bringing PUBG to their respective platforms.

In fact, it's doing so well that Bluehole has announced the game is launching its own subsidiary company, PUBG CORP.

PUBG just recently surpassed 1.6 million concurrent players, extending its record for the most players playing a game on Steam at one given time.
