PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will only hit 30fps on Xbox One X
Unfortunately it looks like it’s not going to happen for consumers – at least for a while. In an update issued on Twitter, Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene said that the Xbox build of Battlegrounds will run at 30fps whether you’ve got a bog standard console or a fancy Xbox One X.
Although no reason was given for the backtrack, it’s worth noting that the previous comment came as part of an interview in which Greene said that the standard Xbox One build was up to about 30fps or 40 fps. Although the view has been challenged, conventional wisdom holds that a higher frame rate grants an advantage to players stuck at a lower one, so shipping the game with one set of players running it at 60fps and another at 30fps would have caused an outcry.
The good news is that Greene’s wording in the linked tweet makes it sound like Bluehole hasn’t given up on hitting 60fps on both console builds, so it can switch it on for everyone on Xbox in a post-release patch.
“We’re constantly refining the game and exploring options to increase FPS, but this early in dev, we’re unable to confirm more,” Greene wrote.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds arrives on Xbox One on December 12. Microsoft’s pretty pleased with itself over this console scoop.
The enormous PC userbase for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds would probably like to hear that Bluehole is making similar efforts for the notoriously resource-intensive shooter, too. We can but hope.

There shouldn't be anyone remotely surprised about this. PUBg is not an easy game to run on PC. Most players on PC will fall under 60fps regularly. Unless you run this game on super low graphics settings then you should expect a ( _ < 60 ) fps experience. As for console, they are wanting 4k, 1080p, 720p at a constant 60fps? Yeah.. right...

I don't have the One X and find it stupid to have it capped especially if it can make the 60fps...

What a joke and horrible excuse! They could literally push a 60FPS update on Xbox One X Consoles just like now how it only downloads and uses the 4K content if its played on a Xbox One X

i dont think they should do this. bad move. allow the xbox one X to have the advantage over xbox one, this will make those who havent upgraded to the X upgrade.
