PUBG Corp. has announced that Update 4.3 is now live on the test servers of the console versions of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The most notable change implemented with the update is cross-play support, allowing people on both Xbox One and PS4 to play together.

　　It's worth noting that all the traditional bells and whistles that come with cross-play aren't live just yet. Though Xbox One and PS4 players can now battle it out on the same server, there currently is no feature to support friends on the two different consoles to play with one another. If you're on PS4, for example, you can only party up with your friends on PS4. However, PUBG Corp does say in the patch notes for Update 4.3 that the cross-party feature is scheduled to be developed, with further details about a release window scheduled to be shared at a later date.

　　Now Playing: PUBG Announces Crossplay | Gamescom 2019

　　To test out cross-play, you'll need to download your console's respective test server. On Xbox One, search for and download "PUBG - Public Test Server" from the Microsoft Store. For PS4, "PUBG - Public Test Server" should be located in the Purchased section of your games library. Once in, you can toggle cross-play on and off in your in-game settings under gameplay. When on, markers will let you know whether a player is on Xbox One or PS4.

　　Update 4.3 implements a few changes in the game as well. The DBS is a new pump-action bullpup shotgun that will drop in care packages, offering a powerful new option for close encounters. More season rewards have also been added, as has Survival Mastery--a new progression system that rewards you for looting, using items in combat, and reviving teammates. Update 4.3 also adds player IDs, allowing you to create a custom emblem for yourself that players see when they look at your profile. There are quite a few minor gameplay and quality-of-life changes implemented in the update as well, which are listed below.
