A New Take on the Extraction Shooter Genre
PUBG: Black Budget redefines the extraction shooter genre with a focus on exploration and discovery rather than pure survival and combat. Set on Coli, a mysterious island trapped in a time loop and consumed by a supernatural phenomenon known as the Anomaly, players will face various PvPvE threats while seeking top-secret technology and unraveling the truth behind the black-budget initiative, SAPIENS.
Closed Alpha Schedule and Access
The Closed Alpha Test will take place exclusively on PC (Steam) and will consist of two public test sessions from December 12-14 and December 19-21, totaling six days across two weeks. Players can sign up for access via the game’s Steam store page.
Those who participate in the test will be able to freely stream, capture, and share gameplay content throughout the testing period. Players can also earn access keys through Twitch Drops during the event. This open format is designed to encourage community feedback and engagement, helping PUBG Studios refine gameplay systems and performance ahead of future testing phases.
