New PUBG Xbox One Test Server Releases Miramar Desert Map For A Limited Time

Since its early access launch in December, the Xbox One version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has featured only a single map. The second map, the desert-themed Miramar, will finally make its debut on console this week, but only as part of a limited-time test.

Miramar will be available for play by anyone who owns PUBG on Xbox One, but it won't be accessible through the main client. Instead, if you've bought the game, you'll be able to download the Miramar test server client from the Xbox Store, where it's labeled as PUBG Test Server. Players are warned that this is an early test and that, as such, "some aspects may not function as expected."

Just as importantly, there are some caveats about how and when you can play. Test periods will be held during six- and 12-hour windows over the course of five days, and it will only be run on North American servers, with third-person perspective as the only option. "We might make adjustments to this depending on how the test goes," the developers warned in a post on the official forums.

The test server client should now be available for download. You can see the exact time that servers will be online below.
