PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was one of the greatest success stories in 2017. From when it launched on Steam Early Access, to its release on Xbox One, and its full launch on Steam, the game got 30 million plus players, broke numbers records on Steam, and earned (and won) several awards and nominations. But, the game still has a ways to go until it’s fully stable, this goes especially for the Xbox One version of the game, as it’s still in “preview” format.
To be fair, the Xbox One version only released in December, whereas the Steam version had been on the Early Access program for months before the main version was given out. That being said, many players have taken notice that a promised patch for the game hasn’t been given yet.

The representative also teases that more information about the patch and its release could come as early as tonight, it just depends on how things move along. Microsoft wants to have “transparency” when it comes to these updates, and they ask for patience as they try and make the game better for all who play it.
