The new PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds release on Xbox One should be reaching the UK right around now, meaning more players joining the game’s servers.
This should help boost the amount of players online, meaning shorter wait times for those still queueing for a chance at PUBG on Xbox One.
The initial download size has been confirmed at around 5.24GB, although this could change quickly.
Regular updates will be arriving for the game on console, which is still very much in the early access stage.
Microsoft have also released a new controller scheme guide for players just starting their PUBG experience.
“Veteran players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on PC are no doubt aware of the in-game inventory management and upgrades mixed with high-stakes gunplay that has made the game great," Microsoft explain.
“Translating these mechanics down to the Xbox One controller has been a challenge, but the team at PUBG Corp. — with support from the Xbox Advanced Technology Group and The Coalition, developers of the Gears of War franchise — believe they’ve found the right balance between giving players enough flexibility to survive in the hostile battleground and to effectively manage in-game equipment on the fly.
“The first key thing to remember is that to see these controls, change look sensitivity, or invert the look axis simply hold the Menu button while in a match to bring up the in-game menu.”
The rest of the Microsoft guide on how to achieve the best setup can be found below:
Basic: These will be your primary controls when navigating the world. Note that many of the buttons have a dual-purpose by either quickly pressing or holding down. For example, holding X will allow you to reload your weapon; tapping X will allow you to interact with objects. You’ll be interacting with a lot of objects in-game, quickly picking up items as fast as you can in the early going as you’re looking for weapons and equipment. Notice that the DPAD directions can be used as quick action keys to cycle between for your grenades and healing items.
For healing and boosts, tap the DPAD down button to cycle what you have and then hold briefly to start using that item without opening your inventory screen. Also, as is common in 3rd person action shooters, holding the Left Trigger will increase your accuracy while still in 3rd person view. Like the default on the PC, to aim down your weapon’s sights or scope for precision accuracy, tap the left trigger to enter the aiming mode and tap again to exit.
Aim: When in Aim mode, the controls shift to primarily cater to those who have found themselves a nice perch to look for opponents, with options to hold breath and the utilization of the DPAD to change modes of fire (e.g. single shot). Note how both the LT and RT will be working together for you to use grenades while in Aim mode.
