Feels like this was released just to keep a promise. This level of performance even in early access is extremely disappointing.

Digital Foundry: PUBG performs badly on Xbox One - and X
- Thread starter Mullet2000
- Start date
Dude if u do not show your dissatisfaction with these issues developers will not iron out many kinks and u ll end up with an average product as ironing out kinks means money spent for the developer. Clips like these puts the pin on the developer to get their shit together and fix stuff. So don't be so defensive . It is good for you as an x owner at the end of the road .
It has nothing to do with x power but with how developer has rushed this game and is charging people for a beta . U need to speak up otherwise it will become norm .
Honestly, I don't know what's funnier, the number of people disappointed in it or the number of people rushing to defend it at all costs.
Do I think some of the Xbox hate is overblown? Sure. Do I think some of the hair-trigger defensive mechanisms are overblown? Absolutely. People have a right to be critical about things. You're free to your opinion, and especially so when you're wrong. You'll never have the opportunity to learn anything otherwise, and I think a lot of people need to get comfortable with this idea on a lot of topics.
The perspective of a "preview title" changes a bit when you're selling it on retail shelves, imho. This isn't an open beta.
Yeah, you can't make that "preview title" claim when you can buy it off a shelf. I don't buy "preview liquor," "preview soap," "preview meat" or "preview movies" from shelves.
Don't hurt my console .... leave it alone!
Simple thing is the CPU in this gen of consoles are complete crap, no other way to put it.
I think that's missing his point. He's saying it shouldn't be sold in stores, because people will be expecting a finished product, whether there is a disc or a code in the box.
People still trying to downplay how it runs on PCs right now, lmao. That's fake news right there.
Yes it has problems, but you don't need a beast CPU to get decent performance, not even trying to say 60fps here, just decent.

Let's cool it with the posts laughing at other people or that are just memes. If you've got something to contribute, then please join the discussion.
even if it's not being sold at full price while it's in early access?
Can we please stop saying it doesn't run well on a high end PC?
Game runs at a locked 60 in mid-range PC's. Stop spreading wrong information. That is if you tweak the graphics though. Game is still not greatly optimized, but it's decent now on PC.

It's being sold as a "Game Preview version" on the Xbox digital storefront, and at all retailers that are selling the game. Yes it's a game that can be purchased for money, but I think there's information available to inform people that this game is not a complete game yet.
Per Best Buy's store listing:
If you're questioning whether or not this should cost money due to the status of the game, I think with the messaging available and the knowledge that the game will only improve with time as it works towards "1.0 status" it's fair to sell it to consumers. I think overall Game Preview is a great way for developers build, test, and improve their games, while getting it into the hands of fans. If I had to choose between getting the game now, or waiting till spring/summer for a 1.0, personally I choose now. And if that's not satisfactory for a person as a consumer, they can choose to wait.
They actually don't have the Sea of Thieves water : https://www.gamereactor.eu/news/606363/PUBG+wont+be+using+Sea+of+Thieves+water+tech+after+all/
With the image macros and gifs you've posted in this thread, I don't think what you're doing is criticism.
I heard PUBG was unoptimized and after seeing this video I still think the same. Can't see how this could reflect poorly on the X.
This is what I'm saying. It's the retail release, it has a box, people are gonna be able to buy this edition for years from online or off shelves.
Every match start is pretty terrible and then gets a lot better. It also seems to improve when you play many matches in a sitting.
That's a detail DF glanced over, but could offer more detail. For instance they even had a scene with vehicles running smoothly.
It seems at least that Ms massively optimized the renderer, but there's still a lot of work to be done on streaming assets.
Its a method of diminishing how it runs on Xbox One X by equating it to the performance on the PC, by exaggerating / lying about the state of performance on PC.
Everyone's different. There are a ton of people in the OT seemingly enjoying it.
Horrible analogy. This is software we're talking about here. The box clearly says "Game preview" and "Game is a work in progress".
I watch people on better rigs than mine...which is better than an X still get weird stuttering, screen tearing, major frame drops, etc. It's still way better then what's reported here but it's not a smooth experience the whole way through.
No. It runs OK on low cost gaming PC's. I have a $450 PC (g4560/1050ti/16gb Ram), at settings that look about the same as, maybe a bit better than the XBX (not at 4K though, at 1080p, talking about stuff like draw distance / shadows AA etc), Im usually north of 65fps, often north of 70, almost never south of 60.
The CPU in this current console generation is rubbish at this point, PS4 / XB both, and what they and other devs manage to get out of it is pretty amazing. The game has no right to run on a XB1 jaguar CPU, but it does it well enough to enjoy the darn game
The game doesn't scale up onto high end rigs as well, seems less optimized at the top, but it runs pretty good on pretty tame hardware.
You are blind if you haven't noticed the anti Xbox attitude of this forum as of late...especially since the X has launched.
I don't recollect ever reading that being a reason. Helping them navigate the Xbox architecture and translating the game controls to a standard controller were, I believe.
Don't bother with what people say about performance on forums unless you actually know and trust their opinion. Half the time when people in OT threads say a game is fine or smooth it's actually dropping pretty often. Even XB2 handheld had people saying it ran and looked great.
That said, anyone who was familiar with the PC version would have expected this poor performance. There's no secret sauce that will magically make it run better just because it's on a console.

I'm going to take it that the idea of the game being in "Game Preview" standings would explain why it is underperforming at the moment. Hopefully we'll see improvements in the game's performance next year, but for now, it makes me feel like I should hold off on getting PUBG until these issues are properly addressed.
What a mess.
Had to get it out on shelves quick to cash in on the hype before Chrimbo though, I guess.

This. Hell, even Rocket League people kept saying it was fine when undocked it clearly wasn't (framerate wise).
The box has a yellow banner on it that says Game Preview Edition. I don't know how people would miss it.
no this is an example if people giving a pass to something that doesn't deserve a pass, this is a big issue when it's not a locked 30. It is really noticeable, I normally never notice frame rate but I'm extremely disappointed by the performance. Who knows who is to blame but it should have been delayed until it was fixed.
I've been running PUBG at 60fps with rare drops @ solid settings for months now. 970, i7-4790k
but I mean I won the i7 lottery and my CPU OC is downright silly sooo
You know what else says "game is a work in progress"... demos and betas. It is semantics. You are literally paying for a beta, and testing it for them. Now if people want to do that, then fine, there is no issue, but let's call a spade a spade here. They use 'early access', because charing for the word 'beta' is a bad look.
Agreed. I also will refuse to pay for a beta. If others will, then it is your choice, but 'game preview' is just a way to charge you to beta test en mass, IMO.
This is probably why I can never see myself getting into game previews, 30 bucks is still money, and paying that much for a work in progress on the promise that it might be up to par with industry standards is still a gamble. Who knows how long people are going to be waiting for PUBG to be up to snuff.
People outright saying its bad on PC as well and struggles on high end PC are simply lying, it is a myth to try and insinuate that it runs as bad on PC as it does on Xbox.
Well said. I made a similar comment about the work that DF does and to me it is two-fold, where we "end users" get some technical insight on how a game performs but also the Dev. get's information as well. The Titanfall 2 example, which I used when I made my comment about DF would of probably not have been fixed if DF did not discover the issue.
I'm not a part of the community, but is there any possibility of dropping player count to like 75 and decreasing map size to counter the performance issues? Or is PUBG only popular because of its format on PC?
As if the long-standing controversy about selling "incomplete" games at retail in the modern era wasn't bad enough, we've now found a way to normalize that practice by saying it's a "game preview" you have the option of paying for.
I feel that it has begun.
