PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds continues its dominance in gaming with this past week's launch on XBox One. Within 48 hours of of release on XB1, PUBG sold over a million copies via the Preview Program. However, while a huge number, the latest version of the game is plagued with issues (be sure to read our own Joseph Bradford's account).

    I feel kinda sorry for the PU... This game will either implode in spectacular fashion or any future game he makes will have such a crazy high expectations placed on it that it will never live up to it. Sometimes it is not good to burst out on to the scene.

    Not even sure the money does much to cushion that fact.

    This have been a good conversation

    Pretty good, considering it is still early access.

    Its been released, but it performs very badly on the xbox1, reports of the game struggling to even maintain 10 - 20 fps with the xbox1x  not really improving on that, which is to say that the game is pretty much unplayable. :o

    20+ million copies sold on PC + 1 million on Xbox in 48 hours. I don't think anyone expected this game to be so big.

    I have many hours in the game already on Xbox One X and while it def needs some work the game is quite playable at this time. I would easily recommend it to anyone that enjoys this type of game and who understand what early access and preview program games are.

    Early Access is the new "released" !

    With most of these games, nobody even notices when the actual launch arrives... that's if anyone's still playing it at that point...

    And you gotta realise this isn't even a MMORPG games its nothing but a "MAP" with "GUNS" and people running around killing each-other based off the hunger games, if only someone else who was a software developer came up with this idea to begin with they could have had over 20 million dollars in their pockets.

    Well.. that is the thing is it not. it is all about timing. 

    But to be fair... Battle Royal is much more fun

    they are a sorry excuse for lazy and greedy developers to cash in on something clearly not ready for release.

    Its a fun game on a PC especially when playing against players not running 3rd party cheats (like aimbot, lag switching, speedhack)



    On consoles... would not recommend



    I've seen people use aimbots and speedhacks, but I actually had to google up lag switches. From the looks of it this is why Battlefront 1 sucks so bad in online matches.

    I am really hoping this is a joke. On consoles its absolute trash. 10 fps, graphics constantly bugging out, everyone has 1k+ latency, people falling/walking through objects.....
    Just because they convinced this many people to buy it (in hopes that it was better than the pc version) doesnt mean its any good at all

    To this day I still don't see what people see in this game, its just a generic arena shooter with just more people. It looks as boring as watching crap ferment to me.

    Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:

    A. Proven right (if something bad happens)

    or

    B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)

    Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!
