The fastest selling PC game of 2017 is now available for consoles exclusively on the Xbox One, god's one true gaming system, for some unknown amount of time. It's currently available for $30 as an early release game and it's a couple of updates behind the PC's version and lacks some things like: the new desert map, the updated ballistics model, and a playable framerate.

If you have any means at all of playing this game on a PC, then you should! It's way better on PC! But if you're stuck playing on a console, then this is the thread for you.

For anyone who doesn't already know, PUBG is a survival shooter where 100 players start in a plane flying a randomized path over a 8km x 8km map and parachute jump out with no equipment and then loot and fight to the death until only one player/team is left standing.

Here's a FAQ stolen from the PC thread with a few things added.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does this game run like poo poo?
Yes. When it first launched it was nearly unplayable, but there have been at least two updates so far that have made considerable improvements to performance. It still runs like rear end on a regular Xbox, and is notably smoother on an Xbox X. The PC version has seen large performance improvements over the last couple of patches, so expect to see this get better over time.

Is there aim-assist?
gently caress no.

Is there bullet drop?
Yes.

Are the bullets hitscan?
No.

Are headshots an instant kill, regardless of the weapon?
No, most headshots are not immediately fatal, but it depends on the weapon and helmet.

What's "zeroing distance"?
Zeroing distance is the distance your sights are set to hit. If you set your zero too high and aim with your center crosshair, your shots will go over your target's head. If you set them too low, and aim with the center, you will shoot under. Can you even adjust zeroing on the console version? Who knows!

What am I supposed to do during the lobby?
During the loading stage you need to get lucky so an M249 spawns on a table. Take the M249 and go in the middle of all the people and go prone and shoot all the bullets. This is to get their attention. Then drop all your clothes, followed by the M249. Then while still prone, position yourself in front of the M249 and move forwards and backwards so it looks like your loving yourself in the rear end. Bonus points if someone shoots your rear end in a top hat so it looks like it's bleeding.

What are the best weapons?
Vector, Uzi, and Crossbow.

Is there loot on the starting island?
Pro-tip: If you see someone go to spawn island, and decide to follow them and camp their boat, it's a good idea to loot some meds before you start camping so you don't die to the blue while you wait.

Is there cross-play with PC?
Not right now, but MS and Bluehole have stated that it will come eventually. How they're going to balance PC vs. Console is anyone's guess.

I'll add whatever Hypezone Mixer is to the OP.

Also, this game is perfection.

Yeah, there are a few guns (Uzi/Vector) that you're just never going to want on single shot and it'd be nice to make them default to something else.

You're playing against bots that are designed to let you win so you get hooked before it matches you against real players. :ssh:
