PUBG went live on the Xbox One platform on Tuesday. It's actually pretty surprisingly easy to control once you get into it for a match or two. Some things aren't intuitive, like clicking in the left or right stick while aiming to lean, and inventory management/looting is a slow and painful experience; as is adding attachments to weapons.
So far I've sucked and done pretty well. My first few squad games were terribad. Then a friend and I did duos and got top 5 (with 0 kills
). Then I did some solos with varying degrees of success, some I died early, and my best game so far was 6th with 3 kills (with one of them being a lucky pistol shot to someone's face).
So, the good:
Here's my stream from tonight, which includes the terribad and the good.
So far I've sucked and done pretty well. My first few squad games were terribad. Then a friend and I did duos and got top 5 (with 0 kills

- Frame Rate is generally stable while in the game.
- Graphics are generally the same as PC high settings on the Xbox One X (I don't know about the base or S)
- Gunplay feels good, so far, even if I have potato aim at times.
- There is a fast bandage use if they are in your inventory by pressing down on the d-pad.
- Sounds are good, it's easy to know which direction they are coming from.
- The new vault mechanic is already in the game.
- The file size for the Xbox One X enhanced version is under 6GB.
- It's VERY easy to know where teammates are in duos and squads.
- Frame rate takes a dump in the lobby and in the plane/parachuting in.
- There's no way to view controller settings and/or customization of controls (yet)
- Aiming down sites speed is actually really fast, which can cause issues depending on your analog sticks.
- Some textures are very bad, especially rock textures, which clashes with the rest of the game's look.
- No way to not find randoms in squad games if you only have 3 people.
- Currently it is set to tep the left trigger to ADS and hold to 3rd person aim, I'd rather it be the other way around.
- Currently only third person view is available to play, so more competitive first person only players won't like that.
- Some controls are wonky, X interacts/picks up, but you hold X to reload. There is a free look by holding RB but unintuitively you keep pushing up to move forward while free looking.
Here's my stream from tonight, which includes the terribad and the good.
