New PUBG update is now available to download on Xbox One. Microsoft in collaboration with Bluehole has rolled out the latest PUBG XBOX ONE update on the game’s private test server before the official live update next week.
This is the final test build update before the new changes and improvements are added on the live servers. Beside several critical performance fixes and stability enhancements, next week’s live update will enable the Miramar desert map for Xbox One players.

Known issue:
After long play sessions (three or more hours) on the standard Xbox One and the Xbox One S, the game sometimes crashes. This has been a problem for some time, and we hope to solve it soon. In the meantime, there’s a simple workaround you can use. Simply restart the app every couple of hours if you plan on playing a longer play session.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is available for Xbox One, Windows PC, Android and iOS mobile platforms.
