At E3 2017, Microsoft partnered with Bluehole Studios to launch PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on the Xbox One family of devices. Not only did Microsoft hit an excellent homerun after picking up on Bluehole’s huge success of PUBG on the PC, but Microsoft also announced that the title would come with a host of features catered towards the Xbox One player base as well.
Some of the latest reports include the absence of aim-assist for Xbox One players along with the suspicion if Microsoft would allow PC and Xbox One players to chime into the game together. Even if they do, it seems like Microsoft would try to play it fair between the two platforms by balancing out the advantages mice and keyboards would bring to the table.

In Microsoft’s recent live stream regarding the launch of the One X, Microsoft’s Major Nelson has been a phenomenal influencer in promoting Microsoft’s Xbox One family of devices. Being among Microsoft’s top execs, Major Nelson has given some excellent news whether its official or leaked, about PUBG’s upcoming patches for the Xbox One X. Revealing that, not only would PUBG join Xbox’s Game Preview program, but it would also support HDR and is going to get a 4K patch post-launch which is some incredible news.
Not only was this unconfirmed at E3 2017, but the announcement of 4K support on the Xbox One just makes the deal a whole lot sweeter indeed. Here’s a snapback of the reveal Major Nelson did earlier today.
