PUBG-Feature

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) has been the nail gaming hitting of 2022, demonstrating that issues like residuum, bug-free gameplay, and more than one map to play on aren't especially important to the modern gamer. Given its inexplicable popularity, Microsoft's announcement of an Xbox One sectional made waves, as console players clamored for the right to scamper around causing havoc and suffering the existential pain of controlling a poorly blithe marionette on stilts.

Eurogamer has done a complete workup on PUBG on both the Xbox One and Xbox One Ten, and the results are honestly pretty terrible. Some textures in-game are of PS2-era quality, the aeroplane deployment frame charge per unit drops to 12-15fps, shadows and institute life pop-in badly, and according to Eurogamer, input lag as well feels off, either because of an improperly divers dead zone in the controls, or because of however more bug with the game lawmaking. Eurogamer writes, "In terms of first impressions, PUBG is deadline horrendous — an assault of depression quality artwork, jarring popular-in and disappointing performance."

Texture detail and resolution are vastly improved on the Xbox One Ten, but it's not clear if these settings are user-controllable. There'due south a non-functional carte buried in the game (available if you hit "O" to bring up options). The visual settings are a mix of "Very Depression" settings for the Xbox One, though some features, like ambience occlusion, are implemented at this setting when they aren't on the PC.

The Xbox 1 X offers a set up of features that's broadly comparable with the PC'south medium settings, simply with a few additional features tossed in. The 4K render target and college texture detail help with the overall presentation, but the fact that both platforms struggle in many areas to maintain a 30fps cap is difficult to swallow. Frame rates tend to drop in odd places, like when opening a bathroom door, equally opposed to when firefighting in the open up world. To be articulate, these kinds of drops occur likewise, but the frame rate droop isn't conspicuously linked to whatsoever specific result happening in-game. The Xbox One'south average frame charge per unit is 25.6fps, while the Xbox Ane X manages 27.vi. The overall quality of the presentation is incomparably lacking, despite assistance from Microsoft, and Eurogamer recommends looking elsewhere (like Fortnite) if you want a Boxing Royale game right now.

Besides, for the record: While multiplayer FPS games aren't more often than not my thing, I've got nothing against the category. What I do dislike is the way so many games now treat gamers equally if they're unpaid beta testers who literally pay to debug a given production. Obviously nobody makes anybody pay for PUBG, just I find information technology'southward fundamentally disrespectful.
