PUBG Xbox One Performance Issues - GS News Roundup

Early Access on consoles is not a good idea. Every other game is some horrendously unoptimized UE4 game. Us PC players with the horsepower have grown accustomed to throwing money at our rigs to play these games (not something I am proud of). Console players have what they have. I hope they put these early access console markets through the ringer. From what I have seen of this game on consoles, this shouldn't be allowed.

@ragethorn: lol yeah, with all the squirming around

What did they expect? Running an unoptimized CPU heavy game on a severely outdated CPU architechture. Jaguar was developed for tablets and netbooks back in 2013. 5-6 years ago it was considered low-end. Today, it's extremely low-end. Which means the CPU in Xbox One X is weak AF.

Microsoft is desperately trying to get more games on the Xbox One platform. Should have gone with Fortnite Battle Royale instead, that game would have been running 30 fps no problem. Far better optimized and less CPU demanding.

PUBG is a mess from the ground up.

PUBG on Xbox is Game Preview. You shouldn't touch unless you expect to have problems. Whole point of being in Game Preview is to sort out the problems prior to an official release.

General idea with Game Preview is you buy and help the developer by getting involved in the game. Reporting and testing bugs, joining forums, giving feedback. PUBG is not released yet on Xbox. The payoff for this is you get the game at a slightly reduced rate from the final release price. But you do it to support the developer, not play it decide it has problems then look to get a refund. It will have problems, lots of them.

PC all the way for this game. Wouldn't even think about buying it on my OG xbox one or an Xbox X. LOL at the fanboys that paid $500+ for the X1X. Where is all the pooooowwwaaaa? Fps 30 at best with dips as low as 10-15fps. You will get dizzy and sick from playing this game. Meanwhile its running butter smooth on my PC.

Do people not realise what an early access title is? Perhaps on console it has been marketed in a bad way but the dev did previously state that the console release is based on an older PC build from around July or so this year so things will improve.

Keep in mind also that the CPU in the X is basically the same with a 30% increase so it is not going to make things significantly better in every situation compared to the base console.

PC is still not perfect but it is in much better shape than the current console version.

However this is not an actual released game so treat it more as a work in progress and then your expectations won't be dashed.

Calling out a publisher for low quality on an early access title is just silly.

Once they start allowing the X to run at 60 fps instead of a capped 30 it will probably be alot smoother in any case. Especially if it is currently using a forced half Vsync solution.

Was pumped, played, refunded. Horrible on the X IMO. Kudos to those that dig it though.

The performance thing doesn't surprise me. Bluehole (Bunghole?) is a no-name group of modders. They don't know how to polish a game. Hitboxes have been laughable since game's inception. It's insane that such an UGLY, poorly-performing game would also take up SO MUCH MEMORY! Last time I had to crash the game out, it was eating up 7GB of memory! That's absurd.
