I mean, it's not even version 1.0 yet on PC. I can't click the link, but I'd imagine they should be labeling it a temp review for the early access Xbox port.

I'd give it time for the devs to optimize. I watched some gameplay and it runs... not great. When I first played on PC, I had to bump the settings way down to get it to run 60-70. Now with the update, I expect it to run 100 FPS+ consistently. If they can make similar improvements with the Xbox version it will be fine.

But it seems Fortnite BR is the way to go if you want a console Battle Royale fix.

It’s s bit unfair to give it a score as it’s still in early access, but yeah it’s not the best performer at all. That definitely needs some work, as I don’t think anyone would be interested in PUBGee in 30fps.

If you're advertising and distributing a product for sale, it's ready for review on whether people should buy it or not. Don't give me that early access bullshit.

[GreatScawt]

Truth. That's why I was saying they should label it a temp review... like what Polygon does with their provisional ratings.

Here’s what the combined activities of 10,000 players looks like.

Finally got to play PUBG on my new PC...it still doesn't run great, but my new PC is still relatively low spec.

Had fun thought, got all the way to #8 rank on my first attempt in the desert map (forgot their names), pure luck. Found guns and ammo but no armor or helmets at all...died when trying to run over someone in my VW bus....it nearly worked too!

Had a few other fun matches...but I think I need to upgrade my PC a bit more before I can play it seriously.

Nice! I find it so much more enjoyable with KB+M.

Threw some quick highlights together. Finally getting a chance to play a little more now.

Of course Shadowplay crapped out right before my Miramar match last night, so I had to go back and record using the PUBG Replay system. Which is a bit jank.

I'm only using KB+ M on PC

In one match I hung out in a large empty trashcan/dumpster for 15 minutes......I guess I'm a camper.
