PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds landed on tge Xbox One late last year as an Xbox Game Preview program title, now the popular game has officially launched on Microsoft’s console. PUBG’s big 1.0 update is now available, bringing the title out of early access and introducing a slew of new content to it, including a third map, new weapons, and more.
The the biggest addition is Sanhok, the tropical-themed map introduced in the PC version of PUBG earlier this year. Unlike the game’s first two stages, Erangel and Miramar, Sanhok measures only 4km x 4km (as opposed to 8×8), making it much smaller than PUBG’s previous maps. As a result, matches contested on Sanhok are much quicker and more intense than normal.
Arriving alongside Sanhok are a handful of items. First is a pair of new guns: the QBZ and the QBU, the latter of which can only be found on Sanhok. PUBG Corp. has also added a new map-exclusive vehicle to Sanhok: the Rony, a pickup truck that can hold up to four players.
PUBG Corp.along with third map has introduced two new playlists: Battle Royale and Mini Royale. The former will randomly drop players onto either Erangel or Miramar, while the latter will only feature Sanhok for the time being. You can select both playlists to be randomly matched up on one of the three maps.
Also coming to the game are War Mode and custom matches, but these will arrive a little later
