Bluehole Inc has agreed to produce PUBG for Microsoft first by the end of the year and is likely to give the company a longer period as the solo console, according to sources.

The creator of the hit videogame PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is in talks with Microsoft Corp about extending their agreement to publish the game exclusively on Xbox, according to people familiar with the matter. 

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. Games are typically offered exclusively for about three months to encourage people to buy a particular console, so Xbox may have the game to itself until the middle of next year or longer.
