In a new interview at Bloomberg Technology, Brendon Green, creator of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Bluehole Chairman Chang Byung-gyu have offered a couple of pretty interesting little nuggets of information including the fact that Bluehole is in talks with Sony about bringing PUBG to PlayStation 4. Up to now, the only console that had managed such a feat was Microsoft for XBox One. The inclusion of PS4 could make the juggernaut title an even bigger juggernaut.

In addition, the interview reveals that Bluehole has been looking for a partner to bring PUBG to China with Tencent leading the way as a local partner for publishing the game. Tencent has also "offered to buy an equity stake. Chang says the talks are promising. 'Tencent can be a very important partner for us," he says, declining to share the details."

This is quite interesting given the fact that the company denied that it was in talks with Tencent about purchasing an equity stake.
