PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds first update is now live

4.6
The early access version of battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has received its first update.

The update introduces new Oceanic and South American servers, improves stability, adds a view distance setting to the graphics options, and adjusts the movement speed of the circle in endgame zones. Read the full patch notes below.

Developer Bluehole also shared its update plans for the game throughout its early access phase, which include three different phases: daily updates to improve server performance, weekly updates that will be used to push bug fixes & client performance and stability fixes, and monthly updates that will add new content and push balance passes.

The developer also shared its plans to improve client performance by reducing the load on the CPU to improve framerates in high density areas. These changes are expected to go live on April 14th, according to the developer.

Nice to see they don't go down for hours, or even days on end like daybreak.

Still having stability issues to be fair. But some minor things as stated below me with vehicles need to be fixed.

I'm pleased with the patch overall. Server issues seem to be a bit worse for me but that's being worked on on a daily basis so that's good.

Only problems I've seen are older bugs such as upon exiting a vehicle, your guns can be holstered which can be big especially in a gun battle.

Glad to see there's already an update a week after it's release on steam.. Excited for the future updates!
