Microsoft Celebrates 4 Million PUBG Players With Free Loot Crates

4.4
Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has reached another milestone on the Xbox One: 4 million active players. To commemorate this, Microsoft is handing out 30,000 Battle Points to each player.

These Battle Points will be distributed to everyone who purchased the game before January 31.

These points can be put towards loot crates, whose prices increase exponentially throughout the week everytime you buy one, or towards cosmetic changes for the player’s avatar (which cost 3,000 battle points).

If you’re looking to spend your new Battle Points wisely, consider that there are six to purchase each week with the last crate costing 7,000. Players who want to get all six crates this week will spend 21,700 of their thank-you gift. Alternatively, you could save up your points and only buy 3 per week and you would be able to afford 18 crates. Of course, the longer you wait and the fewer you buy the more cost-effective you will be, but at the end of the day, we all just want one of those sweet sweet coats.

This may also serve as a thank you to players for putting up with the game preview’s unattractive performance. While the console has undergone several patches that are aimed at balancing the console separately, framerate and rendering seem to still be an issue. Nevertheless, the console’s version of PUBG has attracted an entirely different crowd who may have not been able to break into PC gaming to play the game there, where it entered 1.0 not too long ago.

Mikey Nice to see they are finally releasing free stuff for the players, i do need to start playing more of PUBG.


PUBG is a little overrated in my eyes. Ill give it another try in a couple days lol


Yeah it's eiyher a hot or miss with PUBGs.

Either hate it or love it, imo it's shit.


It's only shit if you play it to win, if you play it on a casual front and for banter with friends, it's one of the best game around right now. The fun factor is amazing.

Specialize Free loot boxes, will have to play again it's been a while and I bought it day one.


Even though I dont play this game much. I still had some intentions to get the free loot crates. Glad they did this and hopefully we see more celebrations for games by Microsoft.


I was never able to get my free drops, I don't even feel like I've lost out.

couldn't agree with shep anymore, don't see any hype whatsoever. Despite free loot, it's not as good in my eye

Dragon It is always good to see them rewarding their players and showing that they appreciate them playing their game. I would definitely appreciate this. Go PUBG! Fortnite take notes.


I'm a PUBG over Fortnite player, but Fortnite is free. They don't need to give free stuff.
