PUBG fans have discovered a way to give the performance a boost on Xbox One.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has drawn criticism for being rough around the edges on Xbox One.
But some fans claim to have found a way to improve loading times and draw distances on Xbox One and Xbox One X.
According to Reddit user kiwigreen69, turning off the Xbox One DVR features should make the game more stable.
The Xbox One’s slow storage is believed to be responsible, as recording the last 30 seconds of gameplay puts a massive strain on the console.
Reddit user LoadedGull says that buying a faster SSD should completely disable the issue.
Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry team described the Xbox One version of PUBG as a disappointment.
“PUBG on Xbox One starts up promisingly enough with a decent, attractive front-end,” the post reads.
“But once you’ve moved on from character creation to your first in-game lobby, you’re instantly besieged by low resolution textures that seem to be failing to stream in properly, combined with performance just above or below the 20fps threshold – depending on whether you’re playing on Xbox One or its significantly more powerful 4K counterpart.”
The Xbox One X version performs slightly better, with improved textures and draw distances.
Microsoft previously reminded fans that Xbox Game Preview releases are a work-in-progress.
“As a reminder, Xbox Game Preview is a way for fans to preview and purchase the game while it’s a work-in-progress,” Microsoft continues.
“PUBG Corp are approaching development on Xbox One with the same community-driven focus that they’ve taken with the game on PC and your feedback is key.
“Play the game, give the developers feedback and help make the game the best it can be.”
