'PUBG's War Mode Is Coming to Xbox One Soon

3.7
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ War Mode is less than a week away with the weekend game mode releasing for console players on Sept. 21.

Starting on Friday, the War Mode will be enabled for its debut weekend on the Xbox One as part of the Event Mode selections. It won’t be available every week after it’s first released, but Xbox One owners will be able to try it out for the first time next week.

“We are happy to announce that War Mode will be available on September 21!” PUBG Corp.’s announcement about the upcoming console update said. “As previously stated, War Mode will only be available on select weekends in Event Mode.”


Those who have played PUBG on either the PC version or on mobile devices, both of which got War Mode before the Xbox One, you’ll know that this game mode puts a more traditional shooter spin on the battle royale game. Instead of only having one life and having to start over in a new match once eliminated, War Mode mimics a deathmatch game mode where players respawn periodically and fight for the most points to be victorious when the game mode ends.

“War Mode will entail a new event with different settings,” the announcement continued. “It is essentially a deathmatch-style game mode where players hunt each other in a static zone. If you are killed, you will respawn in planes that intermittently fly by. Teams get points for knockdowns, kills, and for reviving teammates, and the team that reaches the points goal, or has the highest points when the match timer ends, wins the battle.”


Once the Custom Match feature is implemented for console players in October, War Mode will become available for everyone at anytime that they want to play the mode, the announcement continued. More details on the event are to be shared soon before it’s enabled on Sept. 21.

In preparation for War Mode, PUBG Corp. will be releasing a hotfix on Sept. 18 that’ll add necessary changes to implement the game mode. While the update will prep the game for the new mode, it’ll also downgrade the quality of PUBG for some players. PUBG Corp. said that the update that’s coming soon will lower the graphics settings for Xbox One X users as a temporary fix until framerate issues can be resolved.

But adding stuff like this is their way to hopefully get players to come back to see the new changes


They don't need players to come back, the game is still far from dead just isn't played as much as it used to be since fortnite hit the stores

Hopefully they can just make the game run a lot smoother for console then I probably wont hate it so much

Game is not dead. Game hasn't had much talk but that doesn't mean it's dead.


They just need to sort the gameplay out before they add all of this new stuff


For console there is a lot for them to sort out gameplay has nothing to do with it

The game definitely isn't dead. It's player base is averaging at nearly 600k average players in the last month and that's just steam. It's probably got a decent base on console too. As for the game mode, I'll definitely have to try this out. Sounds fun af.
