If you’re an owner of the Xbox One version of PUBG, it’s quite likely that you’re probably wishing about now that you stayed with the PC version. While the Xbox One version is understandably quite a ways behind the PC version, I must say, being behind has never hurt to bad.
As an owner of PUBG on the Xbox One X, I myself was quite hopeful for at least a tad bit better experience when picking up the game on the console, mainly for it’s boasted “enhanced” benefits; but after learning that the game would be locked to 30FPS on both the original Xbox One as well as the Xbox One X, I started to ask myself what was the point?
Despite it’s shortcomings, when PUBG on Xbox works, it works quite well. I for one have been one of the lucky few to not experience many of the bugs that are reported to be in the game, aside from the occasional crashing. If you are one of those unlucky few, however, you’ll be happy to know that the first patch for the Xbox One version of the game has recently been released and is set to clear up some of the issues you may be having. You can checkout the list of changes, below:

If you’re looking for a more complete PUBG experience, it’s definitely worth noting that the PC version is now leaving early access, and has just received a brand new map. On the other hand, if the Xbox One version is what you’re interested in, it’s also worth noting that these improvement patches are likely to arrive quite frequently, so expect the game to get progressively even better on the platform, as the weeks go by.
PUBG is available on both Xbox One and PC for $29.99
