You can play PUBG on Xbox One now if you’re willing to do this trick

4.5
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds servers have only officially gone live in certain parts of the world, but the majority go live later today or tomorrow morning.

While you certainly can download PUBG if you pre-ordered through the store, you won’t be able to launch it ahead of time. However, there’s a way to bypass this restriction and play right now.

To do this, you’ll need to have bought a key from somewhere else other than the official store through your Xbox. Some websites like cdkeys, which typically sell PC game keys, also offer PUBG Xbox One codes, which, upon activation, let you join servers instantly.

You’ll just need to have your Xbox One set as your Home (primary) Xbox. It seems these keys operate on a different schedule than the one the rest of the launch follows. Be warned, however, that servers could go down any moment without warning for maintenance, since the game is technically not out yet.

It’s a bit like getting early a retail copy of Call of Duty every year, only there’s no physical version needed here.

Roop Just bought mine from CDKeys, happy af they were back in stock.


Is it still working cuz I keep getting an error on cdkeys :(


Yes, it should be working .


Ok it finally let me purchase lol.. how long did it take until you received your code hehe ?
You should get it instantly.


Well I haven't and it's been "Completed" for nearly 19 hours now... I don't want to dispute and buy elsewhere... I'm really giving the benefit of the doubt for CDKeys but they're not responsive and I am not satisfied at all with the service... Quick enough to take my money but not quick at all on customer service.. smh

Chat I bought it on xbox store, they ship you a code out to your house, kinda stupid. Just bought another on SDKeys.


Agreed, I bought it from the store and they are sending me a code by mail when they could just send it to my email?? Kinda stupid if you ask me.


I think your both mistaken their most likely shipping you a physical copy


I contacted support, they said because it's in preview, that they're sending out copies of the game, ( although it's a code ) that's what I was told, either way I will either sell or give to my brother.


It shows in the description on MS Store, it's a game box with download code inside. I purchased mine off cdkeys and I played it few hours ago, managed to play 2 games before going to work.
