New PUBG Xbox One Update Adds Extra Control Options, Reassigns Pistol Button

The latest Xbox One Playerunknown's Battlegrounds patch addresses the control and crash issues for the console version of the popular Battle Royale game.

90 Comments

Following this week's PC update to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, the developer has now addressed a number of specific issues in the Xbox One version of the game. On the game's official forums, a community coordinator noted that the team is pushing the fix to address "an in-game issue that was undermining the core experience for some players." And while addressing that more serious bug, today's patch also fixes some smaller issues.

But bugs haven't slowed down the growth of PUBG's userbase; despite some prevalent issues, the game has surpassed 3 million players on Xbox One. The game is still included in Xbox One's Game Preview program, with no specific word on when it will go into its full retail release on console.
