PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be leaving Microsoft’s Xbox Game Preview programme and launching on Xbox One in its version 1.0 guise, on September 4th.
According to developer PUBG Corp, Battlegrounds’ 1.0 release will include a host of performance improvements and bug fixes, as well as an assortment of content additions. It will, for instance, introduce the game’s third map – the faster-paced, tropical-themed Sanhok, which brings new weapons, vehicles, and dynamic weather – to Xbox One, alongside the deathmatch-style War Mode.
War Mode offers a new twist on PUBG’s usual Battle Rroyale shenanigans, and sees players duking it out in a static zone. Crucially, death isn’t the end in War Mode; instead, fallen players re-spawn and parachute back in with their weapons to continue the slaughter. Victory occurs once a set number of points has been accrued, with points awarded for kills and reviving team mates.
