Recently, the creators of PUBG: Black Budget announced that a decision had been made to cease further development of the extraction shooter.
The developers explained that after analyzing the current version and its future direction, they concluded that “the current course will not allow us to create a game that players can enjoy in the long term.”
The authors of PUBG: Black Budget expressed gratitude to those who participated in the closed alpha tests of the game and shared their feedback. According to representatives of PUBG Studios, the experience gained during the project will be used in future projects.
PUBG: Black Budget was announced at the end of 2025. It was assumed that players in this extraction shooter would search for artifacts on a mysterious island that is stuck in a time loop and is gradually being destroyed by the Anomaly.
Notably, PUBG: Black Budget managed to become one of the most desired games on Steam. The game was ranked 29th in terms of wishlists — between the medieval action-strategy game Chronicles: Medieval by Raw Power Games and the survival game Rooted by Headlight Studio.
