    This game was mostly ruined by it being quite unfinished, unpolished, janky to play and textures randomly popping in. This was a great idea and I know it worked on PC but it did not port well to xbox at first. The gameplay loop was still fun although it did feel rather slow and repetitive at times.

The map was very fun and the loot system was great. Gunplay felt alright but again unpolished. There did not feel much point to play this game especially when Fortnite seemed like a much more finished game at the time. Despite this, still had fun with the game as there were some very tense moments.… 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.

    (Series X) PUBG, le meilleur BR, y a pas de discussion^^ J'ai le jeu depuis sa sortie sur Xbox en Game Preview, et le jeu s'est bonifié avec le temps. Fluide, 60fps constant, manque plus qu'un patch nextgen. Pas assez de joueurs FPP en Europe...

    Walk around a huge map with nothing in it only to end up camping. At least it's fun with friends to a certain extent.

    Not really upto scratch with the likes of the competition with the games from the same genre , where it lacks in graphics it makes up for playability though , still better than Fortnite though . For the price it's a steal in my opinion.

    Some console games decide to go for graphics over performance. Looking at you, RDR2. Other games go for bad graphics for a higher framerate. Some games manage to achieve both. PUBG, however, is the worst of both worlds! Not only is it really ugly but it struggles to maintain 30fps, which is already too low of a framerate goal for a multiplayer shooter. It's also plagued with crashes andSome console games decide to go for graphics over performance. Looking at you, RDR2. Other games go for bad graphics for a higher framerate.

    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

    this is a great battle royale game it runs very well with some stunning graphics and immersive gameplay but every game has it's flaws the control scheme is kind of annoying and takes a while to get used to and it can take a while of waiting to load into a game but other than that this game in my opinion is worth the $20 I paid for it

    This was the game that sparked the battleground genre that would take over for the next 4+ years. The thrill of slowly advancing and the tense movements that came with it has not been done before or repeated in my experience.

    This review is before AND after Vikindi so excuse me if I like the game more than i should
    I played the game before the vikindi update and it wasn't horrid, but it wasn't good. Graphics was the embodiment of a dumpster fire, and the frames gave my friends a headache, but I like the pace in contrast to fortnite. However it always felt like fights would just resolve to whoever had 30FPS at that instant instead of 8FPS.

    After Vikindi I liked the game substantially more, fights were smooth and I noticed I was killing more players in shorter amounts of time. Frames were much more steady, though it did get a little shaky at times, The game looked much better but the only 2 maps I liked were Vikindi and the Original. However, when landing, building pop in was an issue, It was already bad before hand, but this time it could take a minute or more fore building to load. It seriously interrupted the flow of gameplay and can get you killed.

    Overall, the atmosphere is foreboding and intense, I found that teamkill lead to same rather funny and enjoyable moments in a rather oppressive game. The community is solid, though I wish prox. chat was present on XBOX.

    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.

    PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has managed to create experiences you can't find anywhere else (or at least, you couldn't). It needs to improve some aspects and polish some things to become a legend, but the foundations are already very, very good. and native 4k + HDR10 is AMAZING

    Let me say this, it's a good battle royal game in it's core and more of a realistic approach, but what gets in it's way is horrible optimization for a next gen console. Even if you play this game on the Xbox One X it still looks god awful. It's so slow paced and choppy that you can barley get kills.

    I've been playing this on XBOX since December of 2017 and have made it through all of the bugs and downside, with all of that said it's still addicting as hell and one of the most fun games I've played. Over 2000 matches and still can't get enough! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

    PROS -Battle Royale for those that can't handle the adolescent feel of Fortnite. -In 4k this game is    I've been playing this on XBOX since December of 2017 and have made it through all of the bugs and downside, with all of that said it's still addicting as hell and one of the most fun games I've played. Over 2000 matches and still can't get enough! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

    PROS
    -Battle Royale for those that can't handle the adolescent feel of Fortnite.
    -In 4k this game is killer, even better on the XBOX ONE X. Don't know what these reviews are talking about with poor graphics. Maybe back in March but not with the official release
    -Social Environment- this is one of the best parts of the game. Playing squad, meeting new peeps and making new friends, and unlike Black Ops III, your squad stays together after each round.
    -Personalization-I've enjoyed the new outfits and gear you can put on your avatar.

    CONS
    -If you were playing this prior to the 1.0 version then you know of all the headaches of getting lagged out and the game giving you the black screen or the "upside down". Thankfully this has been improved since the full release.
    -First Person- I still like CoD's first person better which is why I usually play in third person and I believe most players like the third person as well
    -there's still the occassional bug and some basic issues that hopefully will get fixed soon. Hopefully they continue to hire more developers to get this game at the level of some other major releases.
    -PUBG elbow- it's a real thing, trust me, if you play this game as much as I have you will get a form of tennis elbow- I highly recommend using the Auto Run feature and Auto Swim feature as much as possible.

    Enjoy the game and BEWARE, this is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! See ya on the other side!    … Expand

    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.
