One week after the PUBG release for Xbox, the first patch is here. This will address the performance issues that received a lot of negative criticism.
Xbox players have been able to play the shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on the console via the preview program for a few days now: this is in an early access version. The PC version has regular updates that are supposed to improve the battle royale shooter.
The first patch for the Xbox version of PUBG arrives today, December 19, and aims to fix performance issues. Many players have complained about this. Frequent stuttering and low frame rates were often reasons for criticism.
Xbox One Patch 19.12. for PUBG – Patch Notes
The update was released today between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM and requires a console restart to take effect.
Primarily, there are many bug fixes to improve PUBG. At launch, there were minor issues with nametags and crawling animations in the game. These should be resolved by the patch.
Additionally, the update clarifies player icons on the world map.
The keyboard function is disabled by the update. Players noticed in the first days that they could play PUBG on Xbox with a keyboard. This was apparently not intended by the developers and has been removed for now.
