PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox Hits the 5 Million Player Mark

XBox:

This week we’re celebrating yet another milestone for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) on Xbox One: we have now passed 5M players. We’re very excited that the community continues to grow – reaching over 5 million players in less than 3 months is a major accomplishment and we’re happy so many of you are enjoying the game.

Congrats, game is addicting but at the same time nerve racking. Still no chicken dinner for me. May have to put down DBZ and Pillars and try and grab some Boston Market.

[Kribwalker]

It’s a lot of fun. Can’t wait for the next two levels to release as well

[gangsta_red]

Yea, looking forward to some extra levels myself.

We need to team up again and play. I promise I won't frantically shoot everyone in the back (while screaming into the mic) when someone comes busting through the door like last time. ;)

Congratulations Bluehole Studio and Xbox Team! This game only shows the strengh of console gaming!

[gangsta_red]

Agreed, not bad for a game that isn't even on Amazon's top 100. But at least it beat out CS:GO on the Xbox console

@g red
Salty much? O no a digital only game selling well digitally!

[Kribwalker]

@MJW
i think he’s pointing out claims of others with his statement. We’ve all read certain individuals downplaying this game to the bitter end claiming it would be like CS:Go or that it’s not in the Amazon top 100 so it’s already flopped. But i do agree, it’s done amazingly well for an unfinished early access game

I've only managed one chicken dinner, a whopping 1.53% win percentage.

I still love the intensity of each match... You can feel it.

[81BX]

2 solo and 4 on teams! It's unforgiving at times

[WilliamSheridan]

I've had a ton of top 10 and a lot of top 5, but only the one win, and a few 3rds

[MetroidFREAK21]

You'll get that win eventually... I'm at 19 in total so it is doable. Just have patience and you'll persevere :) Good luck out there and see you online ;)

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

Man I hear ya, I have over 700 matches played, only won 8, 4 duo's and 4 solo's. Game is hard, but something about it makes it so addicting

[Kribwalker]

it’s the intensity. Something that can’t be matched with fortnites cartoony graphics and play style. The sound effects are top notch. I play with my surround sound cranked up so i can hear everything, and when you’re running across an open field and you hear the crack of the sniper rifle firing at you, it gets your heart racing lol

[lxeasy]

5 million wow thats amazing. The game runs a lot better than how it did in December, keep the updates coming!

[alb1899]

It is one of the games that I have played more this generation.

[nowitzki2004]

Even on PC in the last couple months the updates took me from 60-70 fps to 120 fps.

[Angainor7]

Great!

[chiefJohn117]

Impressive

[welly300]

Im done with it, it was fun for a few days now its just so frustrating. Ill try again 6 month.

[nowitzki2004]

Its not frustrating when you know what to do and how to play

[welly300]

I know how to play. Yeah ive not got a solo chicken din but most games im in top 10.
Its when you cant find transport and u run for miles then get picked off.

[nowitzki2004]

Look for a vehicle much earlier. I used to have that problem but you need to spend less time looting and really watch the timers and how far you might have to go. You are definitely still new to the game if transport is still a problem.

[Tedakin]

Get the framerate over 25.... Fortnite runs at 60 for godsakes.

[Hungryalpaca]

Fortnites map is also 1/4 the size...

[mwjw696]

1/8th actually. Its smaller than military island.

[nowitzki2004]

Look at Fortnite and look at PUBG.. PUBG looks much harder to optimize. Fortnite looks like a PS3 game.

[hit17388]

Its a great game on pc. On Xbox its not yet. Its really bad still and updates just keep making it worse. There was one good patch and that was update 6.

[mwjw696]

Yea no update 11 about to drop and its getting pretty solid now.

[MetroidFREAK21]

After update 9 hit and vastly improved the performance (sadly still not perfect), I can't put the game down... I'm at 19 wins and I plan to get more :p Enjoying my purchase very much and I'll be playing this for a long while. Hope the game can hit 60 FPS eventually. If not, I hope a rock solid 30 with no dips comes within the next few updates.
