    game is an unfinished pile of hot garbage. have been sitting on this since release, revisiting occasionally to see if its fixed. Seems like they're more concerned with profit gimmicks rather than making their game work. Fortnite is a free alternative, but im not a fan. if you're gonna spend money on a battle royal black ops 4 is at least the same experience but playable. its a sad day whengame is an unfinished pile of hot garbage. have been sitting on this since release, revisiting occasionally to see if its fixed.

    If you like this game on xbox, God help you. This runs like **** looks like **** and feels like **** Good mechanics are something this game has never heard of. If you honestly think this is good, you need to play more video games. This feels like it was made in 2006

    Player Unknown. What are you doing with your life? You put out an unfinished game onto the market. It honestly seems like Player Unknown couldn't be bothered to develop this game any more so he just put it out there for everyone to be disappointed.

    I heard praise and high appeal for this game, then bought it but was disappointed by the glitchy, buggy, unplayable mess that is PUBG.

    Bluehole are lazy. They cant be bothered to update this game but just wait for the profit to slide into their bank accounts. Every game is littered with cheaters. People with hacks ruin the experience. I can't count how many times I reported someone because of spewing out incredibly homophobic comments to me and Bluehole DIDN'T LISTEN. They have no other use for their lives so should ban someone.

    The proximity voice chat in PUBG sucks. People can hear team tactics and most of the time just someone having an argument with their mum because their mum either wants them to go outside or play a good game.

    Not to mention the TOXIC community. I am pretty sure 50% of the matches that I have played of PUBG someone has called me the N word or the C word without consequence. WTF?!?!?!??!

    This is an unfinished pile of burning trash. Everything about it reeks of early access. The only way I would ever recommend playing it is with friends.

    This game is a broken **** of a game that left a bad taste in my mouth. Never in my life have i wanted $30 back so badly. Every match i have played in this game ends in either getting killed as soon as i land, getting killed by the "Network Lag Detected" screen popping up every 5 minuets, or staying alive most of the round not seeing anyone and collecting loot only to be shot in the back.This game is a broken **** of a game that left a bad taste in my mouth.

If you ever want to feels like being killed over and over from the game's numerous problems or from a player you cant see, just pick up an overpriced copy of this poor excuse of a slapped together game. Bluehole, I hope you feel happy with disappointing and neglecting your game and community just to get more cash. Expand

    The worst performance I've ever seen in a console. Low frame rate, late-rendered objects, bad graphics... I can't recommend this game to anyone anymore.

    Far away from polished and playable. Game is lacking fun, has bugs, extremely bad graphics for a 2018 port. Overall it don't really deserve to exist.

    Horrible graphics, the textures don't load much
    So much lag
    Mechanics are executed terribly
    I'm glad this is a gamepass product and I didn't have to spend a penny on this garbage. Get the mobile game, it is much better. It's one of the only mobile games that don't false advertise and are actually good to play.

    I feel if I were to get good at the game, I would enjoy it more. This game is just way too hard because of the frame drops.

    Highly addictive game. Developers just can't seem to get it right. I have been playing it since it's release, sadly... I would rate it higher given that i do enjoy the game or did but for as many issues as it has I simply can't play this game anymore. It's a complete waste of time. Not even competitive. Blue Balls takes that away. They dictate every aspect from the moment you jump out ofHighly addictive game. Developers just can't seem to get it right.

    it is a pretty cool game if it works but the problem is that it usually is a F*CKING BROKEN MESS if you want to play PUBG properly play on PC it works better or at least it works but the battle royale mechanics are pretty cool so chack out the PC version

    Still struggles with technical problems, but the gameplay is tight, tense and tactical. [Dec 2018, p.80]

    All the small issues and problems aside, I personally spent more than 200 hours playing through PUBG, including 650 rounds, and do not feel bored at all. At first glance, PUBG may seem like a dangerous entry to the video games industry, and Battle Royale may not be acceptable as a standalone genre, but maybe 5 years from now, when Battle Royale will be the main focus of every multiplayer title, we will admire PUBG and understand the importance of ultimate freedom.

    A huge improvement on the Game Preview version PUBG confirms itself as the best Battle Royale game around, with very satisfying gameplay dynamics especially in team. It still needs a lot of optimization and polishing, but it definitely deserves a try.
