PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds left Xbox Game Preview back in September with high expectations, as the game is now labeled ‘PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS Full Product Release.’ A full product release assumes that the popular battle royale title will have an better optimized framerate, less goofy controls, and more responsive game engine, but seeing the official game release, it still struggles to achieve these hopes from fans of the game.
On Reddit, PUBG Corp Community Manager Lumos made a statement responding to a fan’s question, stating that the studio is still working to bring a more stable performance to the full version of the game for Microsoft’s platform. Answering a fan about unlocking the game’s framerate, Lumos states:
“The ultimate goal is to achieve a stable 60fps, and we’ll continue to optimize to achieve that goal.
At the moment we are not intending to ‘unlock’ the framerate, we’ll need to implement these graphical options first and iterate upon them to see if that would be possible in the future.”
As the game currently underperforms on Xbox One X compared to it’s PC counterpart, this performance update will definitely assist the game with the current problem it faces. It was also made clear that the update will also feature options to change your resolution output to help the game’s framerate. Since the idea of 60 frames per second is on the table, the idea of unlocking the framerate for the game isn’t completely out of the question, as the studio would like to achieve the more stable 60 fps before pursuing the uncapped mechanic.
With the upcoming update, PUBG Corp is aiming to bring a stable 30 frames per second that the current game lacks. Once that is reached, the developer will start working on the more anticipated 60 FPS feature following. Now that the feature is in discussion, fans have a more stable game to look forward to, as the title desperately needs it.
In other PUBG-related news, it seems the title is set to come to PlayStation 4 pretty soon.
