Whether you just picked up PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One, returning after a long hiatus, or you’re simply curious about what goes on in the game everyone is talking about – we’re here to help you get that chicken dinner.
What is PUBG?
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a last-man-standing deathmatch where 100 players jump out of a plane with nothing but their clothes and proceed to scavenge the wasteland for weapons, vehicles, armour, and other boosts and healing items. The goal is to be the last player – or squad – standing.
When you’re not dodging bullets, you’ll be running from the blue wall. The playable area is a circle that shrinks over time, pushing players further and further into the centre.
It’s a simple enough setup, but because of how massive the map is and how unfriendly the game can be to new players, it may seem daunting. You’ll need to mange your inventory like you would in an RPG, while maintaining good situational awareness and solid aim in firefights. It’s a lot to take in, but there are a few things you should keep in mind at all times.
When does PUBG launch on Xbox One?
The Xbox One version of PUBG has a staggered release, meaning it will go live at a different time depending on your region. There’s a long list of countries and time zones, so to keep track of all of them, you can check out this handy page to find out exactly when PUBG will release on Xbox One in your region.
If you can’t wait, you can play right now if you’re willing to do this trick, but it’s probably best to wait – we’re just hours away.
What is the control setup on Xbox One
There’s a lot that goes into a typical PUBG match. From spotting, taking cover and shooting, healing and reviving teammates to a host of inventory management in picking up/dropping weapons or ammo, using attachments and so on. For these reasons, the control scheme is a little bit more complicated than your typical shooter.
To help make things easy, the developer has split the different button mappings into six main categories. They are Basic, Aim, Vehicle, Swim, Map, and Inventory. It’s important to know that many keys have dual-functions, one when pressing the button and another when holding it.
Here’s how the control setup is going to work on Xbox One by default. At the time of writing, there is no way to remap these bindings.
Is PUBG Xbox One X-enhanced?
PUBG does not support 4K resolutions, at least not yet. However, the game will support HDR. On top of that, it will run at a higher resolution and use higher graphics settings on Xbox One X compared to a regular Xbox One.
Details about the exact resolution on both systems will become clearer as we test and compare.
PUBG on PS4?
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been available on PC since March in Steam Early Access. Now, the game has arrived on Xbox One through Xbox Game Preview – the Early Access equivalent on the console. Microsoft is a publishing partner for the Xbox One version, which is where the answer to this question gets murky.
The game’s developer, PUBG Corp, never ruled out a PS4 version outright, but always said that it wants to focus on one version at a time. Microsoft has been promoting the game as a console exclusive, which could indicate that it may never come to PS4.
However, exclusivity periods end sooner or later, and like we’ve seen with games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Dead Rising 4, the games more often than not end up on PS4 sometime later. The likely scenario is that once the Xbox One version graduates out of Game Preview, PUBG Corp will look at bringing it to other platforms.
Until then, Xbox One is the only console to play PUBG on.
Now that we covered the basics, let’s go over how to actually get better at the game. In the guides below, we’ll go over some early tips for beginners, crucial details you need in order to survive the circle, and some advanced tips we learned after hundreds of hours of playing the game.
