On console, it should be the opposite
PUBG is probably great on PC, just strange to try them both on Xbox... and realize which one you paid for

Because Fortnite has the backing of Epic games and PUBG is literally some dude in his basement.

As far as I know Fortnite's Battle Royale mode is free. But the actual base game isn't.

But yet Battle Royale seems to be Epic's primary focus. I'm not sure how that's working out for them.

Fortnite is going to be F2P when it releases but the "beta" is pay2play to milk customers as much as possible

Battle Royale was obviously a quick reaction to the H1Z1/PUBG craze but no one was gonna pay them $40 or w/e the PvE mode cost to play a half-assed BR mode so they made it free

I believe they plan on making the other mode free to play as well and going heavy into cosmetic skins and gameplay altering loot boxes.

Ah that makes sense. F2P worked out well for Warframe and charging for the beta sounds smart.
