Xbox – Update #5 Patch Notes

This update includes Vikendi performance fixes, the new weapon Bizon, the Canted Sight, Moonlight weather, and more!

Hey everyone,

We’re excited to bring you the next content update for console on March 5! In this update we are implementing many performance and bug fixes, especially related to Vikendi.

This update also includes the new weapon Bizon, as well as a new attachment called the Canted Sight. In addition, we’re adding a new weather setting on Vikendi called Moonlight, where you’ll get to enjoy taking down your enemies in the night as the super moon and aurora borealis guide you to victory.

Lastly, to thank everyone to sticking with us through all of the issues especially related to Vikendi, we have prepared a token of our appreciation. The ‘Level 20 Up’ ticket will automatically be distributed into the inventory for everyone who logs into the game, from the time the maintenance ends until April 5.

Please note that the ‘Level 20 Up’ ticket can be applied to the upcoming pass after the current Survivor Pass: Vikendi ends. If you have already achieved level 100 or do not want to use the ticket on the current pass, you are more than welcome to save it for the future pass.

Xbox – Update #4 Patch Notes

Hey everyone,

On January 22, we will be updating live servers to Update #4!  This update will include the new snow-themed map, Vikendi, the Survivor Pass: Vikendi, a new vehicle and new weapons, along with many quality of life and bug fixes.

Check out the full patch notes below before jumping into the new update!

Maintenance Schedule

PST: January 21 11:00PM – January 22 3:00AM

CET: January 22 8:00AM – 12:00PM

QoL

• Minimap: Players can now further magnify the minimap
• Player order consistency: Player order between the lobby and in-game is now consistent so that players will have fixed numbers and colors based on lobby order when they enter a game.
• Added field of view slider in First Person Perspective mode (FPP) settings
• Added graphical settings option for Xbox One X

New Map: Vikendi

Vikendi Gameplay

• Vikendi is 6x6km map. The gameplay of Vikendi is quicker than Erangel and Miramar, but offers an arguably more tactical experience than Sanhok.
• Players can throw snowballs while waiting to board the plane in the starting area
• Vehicles will be more slippery in snow or icy areas. Acceleration on icy terrain is slow and you lose more general vehicle control as you speed up
• Footprints and vehicle tracks will appear as players travel in snow-covered areas. Keep an eye out! These are great to help identify if enemies have passed by recently
• Keep in mind that footprints and tracks in the snow don’t stay around forever!

Redzone

• The center of the red zone spawns outside of the play zone
• The smaller the play zone, the smaller the red zone

Bluezone

• The first circle of every game is much smaller than other maps, but subsequent circle sizes change less drastically.
• This facilitates more blue zone variety and unique experiences.
• Similar strategies work on Vikendi to Erangel and Miramar for the first three phases, but the zones will close slower starting from phase 4, similar to Sahnok. We feel this leads to a good balance between strategy and gunplay throughout the duration of each match

Item Spawn Balance

• The overall item spawn rate is at a midpoint between our maps – offering a unique place between the spawn rates of Erangel and Sahnok.
• Level 3 helmets spawn in the world
• Level 3 vests spawn more often than other maps
• Smoke Grenades are spawned at a higher rate compared to other throwables

SURVIVOR PASS: VIKENDI

Added Survivor Pass: Vikendi

• The duration of the pass is 10 weeks.
• Players have the opportunity to complete missions and receive rewards throughout the duration of the pass.
• Two types of passes are available:
  • Survivor Pass: Vikendi – Provides missions and rewards to unlock for all players, as they level-up the pass.
  • Premium Pass – Provides special missions and exclusive rewards to players who’ve purchased the premium pass, as they level-up the pass.
• There are 5 mission types available to complete:
  • Daily Missions: 3 missions will be provided every day. You swap out up to 1 mission per day.
  • Weekly Missions: 10 missions will be available every week, and you can view the missions for specific weeks.
  • Premium Pass holders can complete up to 10 missions per week and all players with Survivor Pass: Vikendi can complete up to 4 missions.
  • Beginner Missions: Easy missions which are provided for beginner players.
  • Premium Missions: All players can complete these missions, but only players who have the Premium Pass can claim rewards after completion.
  • Challenge Missions: Theses are special missions provided for players who’ve completed all their weekly missions in a specific week. It contains more challenging and advanced missions.
    • All players can complete Challenge Missions, but only players who have the Premium Pass can claim rewards after completion.
    • 
• You can view your current mission lists in-game by pressing “LB”
  • You can also check the mission lists prior to jumping out of the plane (Not available after jumping out of the plane)
  • 
• Added ‘Coupon’ system in Survivor Pass: Vikendi
  • You can claim Coupons (Blue, Yellow and White) each level or by completing challenge missions, which you can then use to unlock exclusive items in the Coupon Shop.
  • Coupons are only available during Survivor Pass period.

The existing Supply system will be integrated with Survivor Pass: Vikendi on January 22.

• We have integrated the existing Survival Rewards system into Survivor Pass: Vikendi.
• Supply System will be available in the Survival Pass menu.
• Existing Survival Rewards system will be closed on January 22, 2019 and all existing supply missions and levels will reset.
• Make sure to click ‘Claim’ and ‘Drop In Supply’ to redeem rewards before the system is closed.

NEW WEAPON: SKORPION

Added a new handgun, the Skorpion

• The Skorpion spawns on all maps
• Single fire and full auto fire mode
• Uses 9mm ammo, it can load up to 20 bullets and 40 with an Extended Magazine
• Attachments:
  • Sight: Red dot sight
  • Muzzle: Suppressor
  • Lower Rail: Vertical Foregrip, Half Grip, Light Grip, Laser Sight
  • Stock: Stock for Micro UZI
  • Magazine: Extended Magazine only

NEW WEAPON: G36C

• G36C spawns only in Vikendi
  • Chambered for 5.56mm ammo, it can load 30 bullets and 40 with an Extended Magazine
  • G36C has a lower and upper rail for attachments, but cannot attach a stock

NEW VEHICLE: SNOWMOBILE

• Added a new vehicle – Snowmobile
• The Snowmobile only spawns in Vikendi
• It seats 2 players and performs much better than other vehicles on snow and ice, but is more difficult to drive on other terrain.

Region Renewal, Season & Rank, Leaderboard

• Server/region will now be decided automatically depending on the player’s local region
• If you group with a player from another region, matchmaking will automatically decide the best region to play on
• Region select button at the right bottom side of the screen will disappear.

Survival Title System (Beta Season 1) has been added

• For more information, please see our post on Survival Title System here.

Map Selection

• Map selection has changed with the addition of Vikendi
• You can select Vikendi or select Others (Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok) to play
• Quick Join function puts you in the first available game, regardless of map

Play Menu UI Renewal

• Improved the map and game-mode selection interface
• Additional queuing information is now displayed for the selected match type.
• If the matching pool in your region has sufficient players for healthy matchmaking, the expected wait time will be displayed for the selected match type.
• When the matching pool in your region doesn’t have enough players for healthy matchmaking, an accurate estimated waiting time cannot be provided and the number of players currently queuing will be displayed instead.
• When the concurrent player count for a region is too low to start games consistently in a particular mode, those players will be redirected to their next closest region instead. A message will alert players when this is happening and to expect higher ping than local servers.

Gameplay

• Decreased recoil of the P18C
• Added auto-reload option
  • When enabled, you will reload weapons automatically when you try to fire while your magazine is empty
• By default, this is set to “Off” but can be changed in the Gameplay menu
• Maximum number of Forward Running Sensitivity has changed from 50 to 100
  • The maximum value would stay the same, so if your Forward Running Sensitivity was 10, it will change to 20
  • This is to have a more specific value
• Improved the sound settings in option
• The sound settings are now separated into Master Volume, FX Volume, UI Volume and Music Volume

Parachute System Overhaul

• Freefalling
  • Tapping L-Stick now puts you into a dive at full speed straight down towards the ground
  • Turning speed is now much faster and has increased control, responsiveness, and precision
• Parachuting
  • Added new freefall animations and increased overall control and responsiveness
  • Tapping L-Stick helps you drop faster and land quicker
  • Pulling L-Stick backwards lets you glide, when you want to travel a longer distance
  • You can now cut the parachute while relatively close to the ground by pressing B, while still moving through the air.
  • This can be used to strategically to get to your drop point faster, but be careful, as you can take damage if you drop too far
  • Added new landing animations
    • The speed in which you land matters, as landing too fast may force your character to roll, or roll for longer, before you can gain full control of your movement

PS4 – Update #1 Patch Notes

On January 22, we will be updating live servers to Update #1!  This update will include the new snow-themed map, Vikendi, the Survivor Pass: Vikendi, a new vehicle and new weapons, along with many quality of life and bug fixes.

Hey everyone,

On January 22, we will be updating live servers to Update #1!  This update will include the new snow-themed map, Vikendi, the Survivor Pass: Vikendi, a new vehicle and new weapons, along with many quality of life and bug fixes.

Check out the full patch notes below before jumping into the new update!

Maintenance Schedule

PST: January 21 11:00PM – January 22 3:00AM

CET: January 22 8:00AM – 12:00PM

QoL

• Minimap: Players can now further magnify the minimap
• Player order consistency: Player order between the lobby and in-game is now consistent so that players will have fixed numbers and colors based on lobby order when they enter a game.
• Added field of view slider in First Person Perspective mode (FPP) settings

New Map: Vikendi

Vikendi Gameplay

• Vikendi is 6x6km map. The gameplay of Vikendi is quicker than Erangel and Miramar, but offers an arguably more tactical experience than Sanhok.
• Players can throw snowballs while waiting to board the plane in the starting area
• Vehicles will be more slippery in snow or icy areas. Acceleration on icy terrain is slow and you lose more general vehicle control as you speed up
• Footprints and vehicle tracks will appear as players travel in snow-covered areas. Keep an eye out! These are great to help identify if enemies have passed by recently
• Keep in mind that footprints and tracks in the snow don’t stay around forever!

Redzone

• The center of the red zone spawns outside of the play zone
• The smaller the play zone, the smaller the red zone

Bluezone

• The first circle of every game is much smaller than other maps, but subsequent circle sizes change less drastically.
• This facilitates more blue zone variety and unique experiences.
• Similar strategies work on Vikendi to Erangel and Miramar for the first three phases, but the zones will close slower starting from phase 4, similar to Sahnok. We feel this leads to a good balance between strategy and gunplay throughout the duration of each match

Item Spawn Balance

• The overall item spawn rate is at a midpoint between our maps – offering a unique place between the spawn rates of Erangel and Sahnok.
• Level 3 helmets spawn in the world
• Level 3 vests spawn more often than other maps
• Smoke Grenades are spawned at a higher rate compared to other throwables

SURVIVOR PASS: VIKENDI

• Added Survivor Pass: Vikendi
• The duration of the pass is 10 weeks.
• Players have the opportunity to complete missions and receive rewards throughout the duration of the pass.
• Two types of passes are available:
  • Survivor Pass: Vikendi – Provides missions and rewards to unlock for all players, as they level-up the pass.
  • Premium Pass – Provides special missions and exclusive rewards to players who’ve purchased the premium pass, as they level-up the pass.
• There are 5 mission types available to complete:
  • Daily Missions: 3 missions will be provided every day. You swap out up to 1 mission per day.
  • Weekly Missions: 10 missions will be available every week, and you can view the missions for specific weeks.
    • Premium Pass holders can complete up to 10 missions per week and all players with Survivor Pass: Vikendi can complete up to 4 missions.
  • Beginner Missions: Easy missions which are provided for beginner players.
  • Premium Missions: All players can complete these missions, but only players who have the Premium Pass can claim rewards after completion.
  • Challenge Missions: Theses are special missions provided for players who’ve completed all their weekly missions in a specific week. It contains more challenging and advanced missions.
    • All players can complete Challenge Missions, but only players who have the Premium Pass can claim rewards after completion.
• You can view your current mission lists in-game by pressing “L1”
  • You can also check the mission lists prior to jumping out of the plane (Not available after jumping out of the plane)
• Added ‘Coupon’ system in Survivor Pass: Vikendi
• You can claim Coupons (Blue, Yellow and White) each level or by completing challenge missions, which you can then use to unlock exclusive items in the Coupon Shop.
• Coupons are only available during Survivor Pass period.

The existing Supply system will be integrated with Survivor Pass: Vikendi on January 22.

• We have integrated the existing Survival Rewards system into Survivor Pass: Vikendi.
• Supply System will be available in the Survival Pass menu.

Region Renewal, Season & Rank, Leaderboard

  • If you group with a player from another region, matchmaking will automatically decide the best region to play on

Gameplay

  • The sound settings are now separated into Master Volume, FX Volume, UI Volume and Music Volume

  • Turning speed is now much faster and has increased control, responsiveness, and precision

  • Added new freefall animations and increased overall control and responsiveness
  • Tapping L-Stick helps you drop faster and land quicker

• Adjusted the sight position to be closer to the muzzle for some weapons

PS4 – December 21 PTS Patch Notes

The December 21 PTS update will include our new 6x6km map Vikendi, new weapons, and many quality of life and bug fixes!

Hey everyone,

This week, we are updating the PTS with lots of exciting content for you to test out! This update will include our new 6x6km map Vikendi, new weapons, and many quality of life and bug fixes.

Please note that the parachute overhaul is currently being optimized for console and will be released in an update at a later date.

Check out the full patch notes below!

What is the PTS?
The PTS (Public Test Server) is a separate PUBG server that is free for anyone who already owns a copy of PUBG. The purpose of the test server is not just to provide a preview of upcoming features, but to find the issues we need to solve so we can work on the fix as soon as possible.

All player data, statistics, etc from the test server will not carry over to your live server account.

To take part in the test, all you have to do is own a copy of PUBG for PS4 – it should have been automatically downloaded along with the Live PUBG application. If not, you can find the “PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS PTS” in the Purchased section of your Library.

PTS Open Schedule

• KST: December 21 2:00PM
• PST: December 20 9:00PM
• CET: December 21 6:00AM

For healthy matchmaking, some modes have been disabled in PTS. Please see below for available queues:

• Asia, NA, EU – TPP Solo, TPP Squad
• Vikendi will be the only map available to play on PTS.

Xbox – December 21 PTS Patch Notes

The December 21 PTS update will include our new 6x6km map Vikendi, new weapons, Graphical Settings Options, and many quality of life and bug fixes!

Hey everyone,

This week, we are updating the PTS with lots of exciting content for you to test out! This update will include our new 6x6km map Vikendi, new weapons, Graphical Settings Options, and many quality of life and bug fixes.

Please note that the parachute overhaul is currently being optimized for console and will be released in an update at a later date.

Check out the full patch notes below!

For those who haven’t yet used the PTS
The PTS is a separate PUBG server that’s free to download for anyone who already owns a copy of PUBG. The purpose of the test server is not just to provide a preview of upcoming features, but to find the issues we need to solve so we can push the content to live as smoothly as possible. The changes listed below are all coming to the PTS first because many of the changes still needs to be tested to see if there are any issues with performance.

All player data, statistics, etc from the test server will not carry over to your live server account.

To take part in the test, all you have to do is own a copy of PUBG for Xbox One and search for “PUBG Test Server” on the Microsoft Store.

PTS Open Schedule

• KST: December 21 2:00PM
• PST: December 20 9:00PM
• CET: December 21 6:00AM

For healthy matchmaking, some modes have been disabled in PTS. Please see below for available queues:

• NA, EU – TPP Solo, TPP Squad
• Vikendi will be the only map available to play on PTS.

NEW MAP – VIKENDI

Vikendi
Gameplay

• Vikendi is a 6x6km map. The gameplay of Vikendi is quicker than Erangel and Miramar, but offers an arguably more tactical experience than Sanhok.
• Players can throw snowballs while waiting to board the plane in the starting area
• Vehicles will have less traction on snow or icy areas. Acceleration on icy terrain is slow and you lose more general vehicle control as you speed up.
• Footprints and vehicle tracks will appear as players travel in snow-covered areas. Keep an eye out! These are great to help identify if enemies have passed by recently.
• Keep in mind that footprints and tracks in the snow don’t stay around forever!

Redzone

• The center of the red zone spawns outside of the play zone.
• The smaller the play zone, the smaller the red zone.

Bluezone

• The first circle of every game is much smaller than other maps, but subsequent circle sizes change less drastically.
• This facilitates more blue zone variety and unique experiences.
• Similar strategies work on Vikendi to Erangel and Miramar for the first three phases, but the zones will close slower starting from phase 4, similar to Sahnok. We feel this leads to a good balance between strategy and gunplay throughout the duration of each match.

Item Spawn Balance

• The overall item spawn rate is at a midpoint between our maps – offering a unique place between the spawn rates of Erangel and Sahnok.
• Level 3 helmets spawn in the world.
• Level 3 vests spawn more often than other maps.
• Smoke Grenades are spawned at a higher rate compared to other throwables.

NEW AR: G36C

• G36C spawns only in Vikendi
  • Chambered for 5.56mm ammo, it can load 30 bullets and 40 with an Extended Magazine
  • G36C has a lower and upper rail for attachments, but cannot attach a stock

NEW SIDEARM: SKORPION

• Added a new handgun, the Skorpion
  • The Skorpion spawns on all maps
  • Single fire and full auto fire mode
  • Uses 9mm ammo, it can load up to 20 bullets and 40 with an Extended Magazine
  • Attachments:
    • Sight: Red dot sight
    • Muzzle: Suppressor
    • Lower Rail: Vertical Foregrip, Half Grip, Light Grip, Laser Sight
    • Stock: Stock for Micro UZI
    • Magazine: Extended Magazine only
  • Skorpion is also available in the Training Mode. Have fun!

NEW VEHICLE: SNOWMOBILE 

• Added a new vehicle – Snowmobile
• The Snowmobile only spawns in Vikendi
• It seats 2 players and performs much better than other vehicles on snow and ice, but is more difficult to drive on other terrain.

QoL

• Minimap: Players can now further magnify the minimap
• Player order consistency: Player order between the lobby and in-game is now consistent so that players will have fixed numbers and colors based on lobby order when they enter a game.
• Added field of view slider in First Person Perspective mode (FPP) settings
• Added graphical settings option for Xbox One X
• Controller Guide can now be seen from the lobby from settings

Graphical Settings Options (Xbox One X)
For this initial round of testing, the graphical settings options will only be available for Xbox One X players. We are actively developing these options and are aiming to have them ready for all Xbox consoles as soon as possible (Xbox OG/S will have different settings).

• Framerate Priority
  • Sets the resolution to 2560 x 1440 and enables V-Sync. This setting is recommended for a more consistent framerate.
• Resolution Priority
  • Sets the resolution to 3840 x 2160 and enables V-Sync. This setting is recommended for a higher level of visual fidelity.
• Dynamic Resolution (NOT AVAILABLE FOR TESTING YET)
  • Changes the resolution in real-time. This is the best setting for ensuring an optimal balance between framerate and visual fidelity.
  • Further details are being finalized and tested internally.

Gameplay

• Decreased recoil of the P18C
• Maximum number of Forward Running Sensitivity has changed from 50 to 100
  • The maximum value would stay the same, so if your Forward Running Sensitivity was 10, it will change to 20
  • This is to have a more specific value
• Added auto-reload option
  • When enabled, you will reload weapons automatically when you try to fire while your magazine is empty
  • By default, this is set to “Off” but can be changed in the Gameplay menu
• Improved the sound settings in option
  • The sound settings are now separated into Master Volume, FX Volume, UI Volume and Music Volume

Performance

• Improved the client performance by optimizing the creation of character materials
• Improved performance by mitigating an issue causing thin objects to flicker.
• Optimized particles in rainy weather.
• Adjusted the parachute and character sync rate depending on the distance to improve server performance
• Optimized weapon target calculation overhead.
• Optimized culling logic of invisible instanced mesh.
• Optimized overall character movement cost.

Xbox – Hotfix November 15 Patch Notes

On November 15, we will be deploying a hotfix that should reduce instances of desync, as well as an option to enable a forward movement deadzone.

UPDATE #2 11/14:

Survivor Supply System

The mission reset time will be adjusted at a later time. For the time being, the reset time will remain the same.
Daily reset: 00:00 UTC
Weekly reset: Thursday 00:00 UTC

UPDATE #1 11/14:

Hey everyone,

We announced today in our hotfix patch notes that we would be closing the NA FPP Duo, EU FPP Solo, and OC TPP Duo queues. This decision was made due to the high matchmaking times that we’ve seen in our data.

We have decided to revert this decision and will not be closing any of the modes today, due to community feedback. We do not make these decisions lightly and our last decision was originally made to provide a better experience in terms of quicker matchmaking. We understand that the interest in playing these modes are still there, and we will continue to look into other ways for healthy matchmaking times.

Thank you for your understanding.
