The PUBG Xbox One release date has yet to be revealed by BlueHole Inc., who are still busy developing the PC version.
Both version of the game are actually being handled by different teams, one in North America and another in Europe.
But a recent update is sure to make all fans happy, especially those who have been waiting for some new features.
A new PUBG update is being worked on that will add vaulting to the game, something that most fans see as an essential staple of the Battle Royale genre.
However, while Battlegrounds on Xbox One and PC is set to get this new feature, it won’t arrive on Steam for a little while longer.
In a new statement, Bluehole Inc revealed more on their plans for launch in 2017, confirming that they were still on track to launch the Xbox One preview version this year.
Here’s the latest for PC and Xbox fans: “We only have 11 weeks until the end of 2017 and we know you have many questions about our development roadmap.
“To make sure we deliver PC 1.0 version and Xbox Game Preview by the end of this year, our development team is hard at work day and night. Today, we would like to share our plans on how we are preparing for PC 1.0 and Xbox Game Preview launch.
“Many of you already know the new content and features that will be available in PC 1.0 version from reading media interviews and articles.
“Currently we have been using an internal build to develop and test new content and features including vaulting & climbing, desert map, new vehicles and 3D replay.
“We have been constantly working on optimization and stabilization as well.
“We will be able to share more about the roadmap soon, once the development has progressed further.”
Bluehole Inc confirmed that their development team is heavily focusing on developing the builds for PC 1.0 and Xbox Game Preview, both with differing goals.
For PC, the development team are only focusing on working on stabilizing the launch build, with no plans to deploy patches to live servers except for this week.
“There will be features like vaulting and climbing which will have a huge impact on the game and need to be tested for at least a month,” the Bluehole statement adds.
“We will be running test servers at least three times in preparation for that.
“Through these test servers, we would like to conduct large scale tests for the content and features that are not in the live build and create a foundation for a very stable official launch.”
Fans will be able to try out vaulting & climbing first in late October or early November, via the test servers, which will need to be fine-tuned for at least 2 to 4 weeks.
