PUBG Update 6.2 Adds PS4 And Xbox One Cross-Play

A few days ago, PUBG released patch 6.2 for PC, introducing a new team deathmatch mode to the game. The update is expected to arrive on the PS4 and Xbox One very soon, and is currently available to try out on the Public Test Server.

Apart from all the goodies that the patch is bringing to the game, it will also enable players to make cross-platform parties. This means that both PS4 and Xbox One players can team up together before starting a match.

Even though cross-play has been available in the game for some time, this new cross-play feature is quite different and it will make it much easier for players across the two console platforms to team up together without any barriers. Earlier, PUBG matches usually included players from either of the two consoles, but one could only party up with a friend who is playing on the same platform. With patch 6.2, this restriction will be lifted.

Speaking of the new team deathmatch mode, it's an event that will see two teams of eight duke it out, with gunfights taking place across seven different maps pulled from PUBG's four BR maps. It is said that each of these seven maps is expected to offer a unique TDM experience, featuring long-range shootouts, CQB, and much more.

While the normal BR mode involves players dropping in on the map and scavenging for better loot, the TDM mode allows players to spawn with one of eight different loadouts. These include weapons like DMRs, SMGs, and Shotguns. You will also be able to change your loadouts between games and when you respawn in the battle, the changes will be reflected.
