PUBG graphics on Xbox One X getting downgraded temporarily

3.3
Despite hitting version 1.0 recently, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds still suffers from severe performance problems on Xbox One X, so much so that the game’s developer is turning down settings.

PUBG Corp. has revealed in a new developer letter that PUBG on Xbox One X is about to get some temporary graphical downgrades.

Frame-rate drops were cited as the main reason behind this decision, with a hotfix coming tomorrow that should hopefully alleviate these. While the main resolution and texture quality will remain unchanged, a number of graphical effects are either being turned off or switched to a lower setting.

Shadow quality and Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) are having their quality decreased, alongside the number of overall particles possible in each scene. Motion blur, depth of field, lens flare, Screen Space Reflection (SSR), refraction, Subsurface Scattering (SSS), and particle light are all getting turned off.



PUBG Corp. apologised for this, adding that the situation is not ideal and stressing that it’s only a temporary solution. The developer is also working on implementing two graphical modes on Xbox One X, one favours frame-rate while the other, performance.

Though PUBG Corp. didn’t reveal frame-rate or resolution targets for these two modes, it did promise to share more details as they become available.

Finally, as part of the same update, war mode will be added to the Xbox One version. Hit the link above for comparison shots before and after the downgrade.

Petite Console pubg was a mess and no one expected it to work well tbh.

I'm just wondering how mobile version is literally better than the Xbox version lol


Bluehole is incompetent thats why

DayZ is in game preview and runs at a solid 60 fps on the Xbox One X, theres no reason PUBG with its PS2 graphics should be struggling to hit 30

They are trying to make this so that it matches up to PC graphics and it's never gonna work on console in my opinion. Never really been a fan of PUBG anyway

Let's be honest, when Xbox announced pubg was coming out on Xbox one, they wanted pubg to have the same graphics as PC and it just goes to show consoles will never be as good as a PC because you will get exactly this trash the Xbox has made. They should've been straight up the whole time and made the graphics for pubg ONLY what Xbox can handle.

Thank god. Just started to play again and my reticle jumps around when aiming while moving. Not smooth at all. Would rather prioritize performance over graphics, that's what I did for monster hunter when I played that and it looked and felt so much better. Can't wait

Console wise the graphics for this game aren't the best anyway. I doubt the downgrade will be noticeable anyway

MazePosted:

Well that sure isn't good news lmao
