PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds launches as a full release on Xbox One
If you purchased an older version, you should have an update waiting.
PUBG Corp. and Microsoft today launched the "Full Product Release" for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the ridiculously popular action/shooter that people can't seem to stop playing. The game was available on Xbox Game Preview starting in December of last year, but now it's ready to compete with the heavy hitters.
"This is a big moment for the PUBG Xbox community, now over nine million players strong, who have been every bit an important part of the development process since we first launched in Xbox Game Preview in December 2017," said ChangHan(CH) Kim, CEO of PUBG Corportation, in a press release. "With the support of fans and the team at Microsoft, it's been an incredible journey and we're just getting started."
There are several updates, including the Xbox One debut of the Sanhok Map (now available), and the Event Pass: Sanhok. The latter unlocks "awesome" rewards for leveing up and completing missions. Players receive the map as part of the full product release 1.0 update, but the event pass must be purchased in the Microsoft Store or in the in-game store.
According to the press release, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One will continue to be updated and optimized, with "an exciting roadmap of new features and content" on the way in the coming months. Later this year, you should look forward to a snow map.
Do you own the game yet? If you don't, you now have some neat options. You can purchase the title digitally for $29.99 USD, or snag a retail disc version from participating retailers at the same rate. And of course, those players who purchased the game on the Xbox Game Preview service get access to the update immediately. They're winners like that.
