PUBG PS4 India price
Right now the India PS Store doesn't have a PUBG PS4 price yet. However if we go by past $30 conversions for India on the PS Store, it should work out to Rs. 2,081 much like other $30 games such as  Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales. The Survivor Digital Edition should be Rs. 3,499, while the Champion's Digital Edition price should be Rs. 3,999, in line with $50 and $60 game prices on India PSN.

It's unclear if PUBG PS4 on disc is making it to India either seeing that developer PUBG Corp doesn't have a local presence. Sony could handle distribution duties. Gadgets 360 has got in touch with Sony India for comment and will update this story if we hear from the company.

Last week, members of video gaming forum ResetEra unearthed a post from October in a separate PlayStation forum called PSNProfiles, wherein a user claimed that PUBG was in their PS4's game database.

“Don't know when it's coming out, but it's already on Sony servers, hosting the game image and Content-ID for the PSN store,” the PSNProfiles member added, with two individual content IDs for North America and the US. Both currently display a 404 error.

In the same ResetEra thread, video games analyst Daniel Ahmad said that PUBG would be out next month on PS4, with other users suggesting it points to a one-year exclusivity deal for Microsoft and Bluehole, the South Korean parent company of PUBG Corp.
