PUBG’s Mobile Version is (Still) More Optimized Than the Xbox Port

3.5
It’s been a bumpy ride for PlayUnknown’s Batllegrounds fans. After spending quite some time in early access, the game’s PC version requires a bleeding edge gaming rig to play, while the Xbox One port still has its fair share of bugs. In a world dominated by Fortnite, fans of the original, more realistic battle royale can’t seem to catch a break. Unless, of course, they’re playing on mobile.

Developed by Tencent, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile seemingly has all of its ducks in a row. Earlier this week Tencent launched a beefy content update for the mobile game that added a War Mode, Achievements, Clans, and a new sniper rifle.


And that’s just the most current edition. Betas for future PUBG Mobile updates include even more advanced features. In a Reddit thread posted just a few days ago, Reddit user kkultimate shared screenshots that showed off PUBG Mobile‘s upcoming Night Mode.

Having played over two hundred hours of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox, it’s simultaneously frustrating and fascinating to see the extent that Tencent is running circles around Bluehole in terms of development time. While my Xbox friends still have trouble parachuting without glitching into a building, mobile players have access to features like War Mode and Night Mode; features that are far down the pipeline to people that paid for the Xbox version.

What makes this so puzzling is the extent that Microsoft has pushed PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds onto Xbox gamers. Not only has Microsoft released a PUBG Xbox One bundle, they’ve also run several high publicized advertising campaigns, most recently, giving away a school bus based on the game.

Having pivoted to PC, most of my PUBG gripes have been settled. However, for the sake of those still relying on the Xbox edition for their battle royale fix, I only hope Bluehole can follow the example set by Tencent.

Famous I wish they would focus on Xbox than mobile. Xbox clearly has more users.


I wouldn't necessarily say they have more users since almost everybody has a smartphone. However, the more passionate players or fans of the game would definitely rather be on Xbox instead of mobile.

please dont make me laugh xbox only sold 30million at max and live sees about 10million well 360 still sees like 20million thats for multiplayer games, so no xbox clearly doesnt have more users if they arent focusing on it, plus the xbox one is unoptimized for the game like pc and phone versions are still better then the god awful controls the console version still has

It's because they built the mobile version from the ground up and just did a shitty port onto the Xbox from pc. It runs way better on og xboxes now with Last update but Xbox one x users are suffering now. I guess that's what I get for buying a new console just for one game.
