The decidedly inferior Xbox One version of the game has received its ninth update, and it brings a host of changes and fixes. The most notable is that the starting island has been nixed, as it uses up too much in the way of server resources.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most popular games to play now, but that popularity has started to dwindle slowly. This year, the game started seeing its first player declines, and the player numbers keep on dropping. Cheaters could be to blame - so the team has halted development to tackle them.

Chinese internet giant Tencent is the official publisher of the unfathomably popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. They’re not just publishing the game as you know it on PC though. They’re also publishing mobile versions of the game, for the mobile-mad Chinese market. The astute among you would have noticed the plural – and that’s because Tencent has two different official PUBG games hitting phones in China; PUBG: Exhilarating Battlefield and PUBG: Army Attack.

We’re constantly hearing about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and how it’s a constantly growing game, with millions and millions of players.That said, it has seen its first ever drop in concurrent player number on Steam.

If you've been sharing a copy of PUBG with a friend on Steam, it's time to shell out for your own copy.

Blah blah blah blah PUBG, blah blah blah blah popular, blah blah millions of players. That seems to be all you ever hear about the unbelievably popular Battle Royale game. The numbers back it up though.

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds does not run particularly well on the Xbox One. It also doesn’t look particularly nice, but it’s managed to keep the same edge-of-your-seat tense gameplay. As a game in preview, it’s been subject to regular updates – but the latest one hasn’t left players happy.

Last week saw PUBG on Xbox One start the process of fixing its godawful control scheme, a boon for any player who was left completely boggled by the clunky design. This week? A new patch refines the controls a touch bit further, while also adding some s-s-s-s-s-s-s-stability to the island brouhaha.
