PUBG Corp. And Xbox reported selling 3 million copies of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLE Royale for Xbox One in the first month after release, with 1 million copies sold out in the first 48 hours.
Several factors contributed to the success of PUBG on Xbox. By the time the game was released on the console, it was very famous, setting historical attendance records on the Steam platform and becoming a real phenomenon of the gaming industry in 2017.
In addition, PUBG filled a niche of seasonal exclusive for Xbox, which was empty at the end of 2017.
The popularity of the game on the Microsoft platform was not prevented even by the low optimization of the port. Xbox One owners who bought PUBG immediately after the release complained about sharp frame rate failures, numerous glitches and other errors.
However, since the release on December 11, the developers have released several patches that have eliminated a number of optimization problems and added new content.
The Venture Beat edition assumes that with proper optimization, PUBG for Xbox will be able to quickly increase the number of copies sold at least twice.
