Earlier this week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) released as a console launch exclusive on Xbox One in the Xbox Game Preview program, bringing the hottest multiplayer game of the year to console for the first time. Xbox fan excitement for the launch has been incredible, with more than 1 million players on Xbox One in its first 48 hours alone.

Today, in celebration of PUBG coming to the hottest console of the season, we’re excited to announce a special holiday promotion where every Xbox One X purchase will come with a copy of PUBG!

One million users in 48 hours and yet we are still discussing if MS bringing this to Xbox was a mistake.

That is insane. And some people thought this would be the equivalent of CS:GO on consoles lol.

Now to get the console version running right and MS are onto a winner

didnt cs:go start off alright on consoles? I actually think the console version of cs:go was made to troll console gamers, they didn't put in any auto aim and nobody can land a shot lol.

@Septic
Seriously tho!

And yes, time to start getting this game in order. The obvious fan factor is there, just needs the fine tuning.

xsta1ker2322d ago

this is like a slap in the face to all the launch adopters who pre ordered this console
released on November 7th and 1 month later giving away the hottest game for free
and the adopters get crap...wtf Microsoft this is why you always seem to take 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

because many people on the web live in some strange fantasy world.

richyque2322d ago

Strange fantasy world here where many peoples xboxone's magically turned in to xboxone x on launch day except my ogxboxone. We xboxone gamers are starving for exclusives so it no shock this game is selling boatloads.

for a brand that's supposed to fully support cross-play in order to bring gamers together it seems contradictory that they would buy exclusivity for current hottest multiplayer game..

gangsta_red2322d ago

Well in its current state I doubt it would be much fun crossplay with PC.

But with the incoming fixes and more updates along the way maybe they'll add crossplay support.

dammit, I just bought my xbox one x a week ago.

threefootwang2322d ago

I'm planning on going back to Best Buy with my receipt to get it.

I remember doing that years ago with my 360 to get the Guitar Hero 2 bundle.

2pacalypsenow2322d ago

I believe you can do a return and just re purchase it to get the free game, you don't even have to bring the console, just do a sealed return and then re buy it.

I've done this many times.

kevnb2322d ago

I wonder if I can do that where I bought it from, Best Buy didnt have any locally so I got mine from the source here in Canada.

threefootwang2322d ago

I'm up here in Canada too, I'm hoping I can pull it off with Best Buy again...not sure about the Source though
