We gave this version a delay of six months for patches, but even now PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for Xbox One is a terrible and broken game. If you want to try PUBG, play it on PC.

At its core, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds relies on the unpredictability of players to help provide the variety, and that is not a bad way to go. Still, I would really like to see the technical issues smoothed out and more variety in the form of maps added to help make PUBG's a better overall experience.

Poor performance, controls, and interface design. Oh, and loot boxes.

Unless you're an extremely quick study, the game's weirdly unintuitive control scheme will very likely get in your way.

It’s astonishing that Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has become what it is today, despite its endless flaws that make it barely playable. Perhaps PUBG is a testament that a game doesn’t need to be stable to be successful.

PUBG has the potential for a masterpiece on console but the technology of the preview version lags behind.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 is a great game, ruined by technical shortcomings and bad controls. The first can be fixed, but the second is tough to improve.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds looks like an unfinished game due to its lack of polishing. Its gameplay and presentation show technical problems that end up messing the game experience. PUBG still makes the player feel lonely instead of feeling among 100 other people.

While it's nice to see Battle Royale games on mobile, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds doesn't translate well to a mobile experience due to its poor touch controls and lack of optimization.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PlayStation 4 provides solid gameplay for Battle Royale aficionados, but lacks the polish needed to give it the edge against competitors.

You just might have to have an abnormally high tolerance for bugs to fully enjoy it.

In a time where Battle Royale is all the craze, raking in all that money and not bothering to try to keep up with your competition seems like a stupid idea. Considering PUBG creators sued Epic Games over Fortnite over plagiarism, it becomes pretty apparent that the suit wasn’t over losing money, but out of spite that someone else was making a better version of your game.

Overall, PUBG is a fun battle royale that uses tension and planning to its advantage. This can often lead to long stretches of monotony, which will make even the most patient man squirm, but it feels worth it when you finally get towards the end of a round.

With the technical errors in the game and utilizing PS4 Power, players expects this experience is very bad and not playable but it is quite the opposite and it is as enjoyable as it was on PC and mobile phones, and still the screen that shows you when you win the best and most fun, it is worth to invest your time in learning and learning its secrets

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds airdrops onto PlayStation 4 as a technically messy port, but its brand of tense and tactical battle royale gameplay remains addictive as ever.

PUBG 1.0 might have been released a bit too early and this choice hasn't paid off when it comes to optimization. Anyway, for what matters content, this release has a more mature structure that the developers will now be able to enrich from time to time thanks to the events and the live component.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a great primer into the world of Last Man Standing. Those hearing the name “Battle Royale” and expecting a bloodbath of dramatic proportions might want to temper their expectations and try it out first.

The wait is over for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) on PS4, but perhaps that wait was too long, as it wasn't totally worth it.
