PUBG Xbox One Version Offers Competitive Advantage Over Xbox One X

The Xbox One has a big advantage over the Xbox One X when it comes to competitive play in PUBG.

[Gazondaily]

It's basically like playing on PC and setting your graphics (or foliage) settings to low. Except here, the X1 owners don't get the luxury of making that choice 😂

Mind you, better draw distance is very important in this game particularly when a lot of engagements in this game can take place over a considerable distance.

.....i need to set my PC settings to low

[100DollarMTX]

Discovering another player before they spot you is SO crucial to nabbing that Chicken Dinner. Draw distance is huge!

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

Exactly, PC gamers are probably laughing since this is really the first time this has happened on a console lol. Pro's play with low draw distance! Well some games have inclusion blocks where the objects would be but this is not one of those games

[XiNatsuDragnel]

I heard this game frame drops until 10 on preview? If so I'm waiting till full

[GameBoyColor]

Yeah the game was already an optimization mess on pc, the fact that they thought to bring it to consoles is laughable.

[kevnb]

here is what its like on a typical pc, nowhere near as bad as on xbox as you can see. Its running really well as long as you have a good cpu as you can see.

or ever a fairly low end machine does ok, https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[zivtheawesome]

in the DF video i think they said it could go as low as 4 fps.

[WilliamSheridan]

Don't believe that for a second. It rarely drips below 25 in actual gameplay. The loading lobby is a mess, but it's a 100 players loading in. It should be a mess. And the plane drop is slightly stuttery, but not that bad. Once you land it's fine for the actual gameplay...

[Jinger]

Yeah in the queue area and the plane drop off it dips really low, but once you're in the game is settles more in the mid 20's.

If you don't have an X then definitely wait for some more optimization updates.

[SierraGuy]

The CPU is too weak for this type of game. You need something stronger than what's available in the X or 1X. I wouldn't be surprised if this is as good as it gets. I thought it was soooooo easy for the devs to make ports for this console. Apparently optimization is another thing altogether. The X has been maxed out a few weeks after launch and it's quite noticeable.

[xsta1ker]

lol look at all the sony fanboy's every pubg article gets a break out of negativity it's like a virus
spreading across n4g... all over an early access game that is not optimized yet same as the pc release
it ran like garbage for 2 months and still has problems.

this is all bias fanboy's crying because it's not on PlayStation yet and who now's for how long.

ps this game will be optimized in the near future on both consoles x1&1x count on it.

[TheColbertinator]

Gee whodathunk? Buy an X or die.

[bluefox755]

According to this article it's the opposite. Because of the lower draw distance, it lets you see players hidden in grass at a distance because the grass and terrain isn't close enough to be drawn.

[TheColbertinator]

I dont read fake news

[Steveoreno1]

@TheColbertinator 🙈🙉

[General Shrooms]

apparently you don't read at all

[Aenea]

The source of this so called fake news is the same source that has been hyping up the One X like crazy, DigitalFoundry, so can we assume that the rest they wrote and said about the One X is fake news as well? 😜

[Bigpappy]

"Hyping up the X"? How, by just showing the difference between it and the pro? The tech is what it is. That's not hype.

[freshslicepizza]

It's fake news the console is the most powerful? The developer has a terrible engine even on the PC, so why confuse one game with how powerful the system is when it's been proven time and again that the Xbox X is very powerful.

[rainslacker]

LOL. I thought you were saying the person should die, then realized you were saying that you wouldn't achieve much in this game unless you have an X.

You're a lot funnier when I understood you are more a comedy troll than an actual one.:) You don't rank up there with the best of them, but still amusing sometimes.

Anyhow, draw distances should be consistent between the two IMO. I feel that a level playing field is important for MP games....although I don't have enough experience with them to actually know how many games allow for significant variables in draw distance.

[TheOttomatic91]

lolwut

[Pantz]

It's all the same to me when I run them over in my buggy on Xbox One X.

[ASBO-5]

Wait what??? The xbone has an advantage over the xbone....... um ok I guess

[Omnislashver36]

Xbox One X plays it better than Xbox One

That's all there is to it, they're different models.

[CernaML]

Its the other way around according to this article.

[jlove4life]

Project Scorpio has an advantage vs xbox 1 x it stands ;)

[Aenea]

Other way around actually....

[jlove4life]

How i got a stand with day 1 scorpio edition of xbox x it didn't come with regular model

[dreue]

so all this fuss and the game is not even optimize for the xbox....and you guys are happy with it? 30 eurso for this lol? i play this on the pc and even my pc can not handle 60 fps all the time...and i have a great pc,i7,gtx 1080 16gb ddr4 at 3200 mhz...so i would never get this game on console...but that is me...also you guys that are loyal to MS...can you guys please start and make some noisy and ask for games? and ask the reasons that scalebound was cancel?i was going to buy an xbox for that game alone...guess where im at? stick with ps4 pro and pc....

[kevnb]

cant you just turn down some settings to get 60 fps?

[dreue]

i do,normaly i play medium settings,but it is just im really piss off with MS,after they cancel scalebound,and i cant understand that people defend MS ,when they for me i think they do are hurting the gaming industry,because consoles was and always will be about games.....of course we want good consoles(power ) but it is like xbox x is a new thing and xbox one S is like past thing....im sorry but i dont get that....

[kevnb]

I can see people feeling like that, but I think the weak cpu in the console holds the game back and its a bit better frame rate wise on the x because they upclocked the cpu. This is why I like mid gen refreshes, they always seem to have a bunch more power. Just like the "s" models of iPhones are the ones I think hold up best since they are all about adding power.

[DJStotty]

Scalebound was garbage, with zero progression in about 2 years so it got put where it belonged, in the bin.

[TheRaidenPT]

I’m still trying to figure out how people buy this game knowing the game runs at 10fps...

This game is a no go for me even on the PC due to the lack of decent optimization

[DJStotty]

because the game doesnt. it runs at around 25-30fps on the xbox one x the majority of the time. It dips low at the start but once boots are on the ground it plays good. Go to a friends and try it out if you are uncertain about it and judge for yourself how it plays rather than listening to Sony fanboy rhetoric on a game they havent seen in action.

[gamer7804]

this is what game preview is for, they will tweak all of this stuff.

[C-H-E-F]

Blah blah, soup is soup

[kevnb]

the base hardware also only gives around 20 fps most of the time.

[gtxgamer2]

I own both PC and Xbox versions. They rushed out the Xbox release, really should've waited until they at least had the console version optimized with stable frame rates. I'll be playing on my computer until then

[N1]

looool

[privatepothed]

I run this game on my 4 year old p.c high setting except for shadows and I get a constant 72 FPS

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

No tf you don't, a 1080i can't keep a stable 60 so gtfo

[privatepothed]

U need to get that p.c checked buddy I run a i5 4690k at 4.3 a 1060 6gig 16 gig ram everything on a ssd with vsync on . And your right I miss spoke I get a locked 72 after I hit the ground but I think everyone gets the horrible frames at the beginning of the match

[Jinger]

So Xbox One gets no foliage so there isn't stuff blocking other players, but they also can't hide behind any them self. Also the X1X players get a MASSIVE draw distance advantage which is way more crucial... So I can't see how there is an advantage to the X1 players...

Edit: Also considering there is a good 10fps difference between the X1 and X1X most of the time.

[OpenGL]

They can hide behind it if the person they're hiding from is on an Xbox One X.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

PSA - Turning off game capture on the xbox is being reported in Reddit to help boost the game to a fairly stable and consistent 30fps even in the loading areas.

[privatepothed]

Same with the p.c . It helps across all games

[Godmars290]

How does something on a same-brand system have a "competitive" edge?

And I'm guessing that suddenly 4k graphics don't matter?

[ziggurcat]

"How does something on a same-brand system have a "competitive" edge?"

Right now the base console has a lower LoD, so players in the distance are visible when they wouldn't necessarily be on the X version.

[MoltenMetalLove]

Lmao. The game is a little twitchy on the X. I have been having quite a bit of fun with it regardless. Hopefully they remedy the advantage one way or another, I would be happy with a better framerate. We will see.

[HyperMouse]

The fact you can do that is a bit shite

[gigoran]

Xbox one has an advantage over the x? Cool so let’s give them x that 60fps advantage over the one

[metalgod88]

How does a game that hasn't even fully released yet on PC get a console version? Why are people buying this if it's not even a finished product?
