PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will only hit 30fps on Xbox One X
Unfortunately it looks like it’s not going to happen for consumers – at least for a while. In an update issued on Twitter, Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene said that the Xbox build of Battlegrounds will run at 30fps whether you’ve got a bog standard console or a fancy Xbox One X.
Although no reason was given for the backtrack, it’s worth noting that the previous comment came as part of an interview in which Greene said that the standard Xbox One build was up to about 30fps or 40 fps. Although the view has been challenged, conventional wisdom holds that a higher frame rate grants an advantage to players stuck at a lower one, so shipping the game with one set of players running it at 60fps and another at 30fps would have caused an outcry.
The good news is that Greene’s wording in the linked tweet makes it sound like Bluehole hasn’t given up on hitting 60fps on both console builds, so it can switch it on for everyone on Xbox in a post-release patch.
“We’re constantly refining the game and exploring options to increase FPS, but this early in dev, we’re unable to confirm more,” Greene wrote.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds arrives on Xbox One on December 12. Microsoft’s pretty pleased with itself over this console scoop.
The enormous PC userbase for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds would probably like to hear that Bluehole is making similar efforts for the notoriously resource-intensive shooter, too. We can but hope.

It's a shame and the 30FPS is pretty poor in game, should've just kept it on PC or wait til a more capable console was around.

HijackedMeowersEthan bruh i thought the x1x was suppose to have insane power to be able to run it at 60fps? New gen not living up to the expectations??
Congrats, just posting for your comment count to increase seeing as you didn't read the post at all.
Are you an idiot? That guy was talking about it hitting 60fps a week ago and now its not. The next gen isnt living up to hype. And man dont raise your post count by being a douche.
Xbox One X isn't next gen it's still this gen. They just want an equal playing field for all xbox ones

Sundown There shouldn't be anyone remotely surprised about this.
I'm only surprised/suspicious because a day before he announced 30 across all, he said "definitely 60" on the X. I'd just like to hear why, whether it be public influence or he was notified by his devs that it actually wouldn't be able run 60
