PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Xbox One Patch Improves Performance

The latest patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is now available on Xbox One. As noted before, this isn’t a major content drop but a patch devoted to bug fixes. The full patch notes are now available and it turns out that performance improvements and UI changes also abound.

Texture changes have been made to improve overall performance while vehicle profiles are optimized to help improve the frame rate. You can also expect to see less crashes thanks to other fixes. The inventory’s layout has seen improvements with focal points for checking selected areas. Selecting weapon slots and attachments has also been improved with the D-Pad used to change focus and selection. You can also quickly scroll through with the LT/RT buttons.
