A new PUBG hotfix is being released today by Bluehole Inc and Microsoft for the Xbox One version of the game.
Noted as just a hotfix in the official patch notes, the new PUBG update is focused on fixing a select number of bugs, as well as adding a few rewards for fans.
This will include reducing instances of desync, as well as an option to enable a forward movement deadzone.
Fans who update their version of PUBG will be able to claim 20,000 BP and Punk Jacket for the login event.
These bonus items, included in the new hotfix, will be available to claim after today’s scheduled server downtime.
Maintenance begins at 8am in the UK and will last around two hours. During this time, PUBG’s normal Xbox One servers will not be available to use.
However, one big change that was set to be included in today’s update has been reversed by the development team.
Explaining their decision in the official patch notes, a note from the dev team reveals: “We announced today in our hotfix patch notes that we would be closing the NA FPP Duo, EU FPP Solo, and OC TPP Duo queues.
“This decision was made due to the high matchmaking times that we’ve seen in our data.
“We have decided to revert this decision and will not be closing any of the modes today, due to community feedback.
“We do not make these decisions lightly, and our last decision was originally made to provide a better experience in terms of quicker matchmaking.
“We understand that the interest in playing these modes are still there, and we will continue to look into other ways for healthy matchmaking times.”
The full list of changes and bugfixes can be found below:
Login Event
“As a token of our appreciation for our players, 20,000 BP and the Punk Jacket (Black) will be received upon logging into the game after the hotfix maintenance has been completed.
“Once again, we thank our players for all the support while we worked to resolve long-standing issues like Lost Connection to Host.”

Supply System
- Mission reset times have been adjusted to the following times:

- Weekly Mission: Monday 00:00 PST
Gameplay
- Added Forward Sensitivity option in controller settings
- Players who had difficulty moving in a straight line will be able to adjust this value
- Note: Higher deadzone value equates to less sensitive movement of the left stick when moving forward
Server
- With the support and requests from our LATAM community, we have decided to open the South America server – TPP Squad.
- If the server can sustain a suitable population, other modes will be available to play in the order below:
- TPP [Squad → Solo → Duo] → FPP [Squad → Solo → Duo]
Custom Match
- We have reduced the time for automatically closing custom match lobbies from 2 hours after creating the lobby to 40 minutes after creating the lobby
- The host will be given a warning 30 minutes after creating the lobby
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug with movement interpolation which could cause other players’ movement to be visibly delayed
- This should reduce instances of desync
- Fixed an issue where the PUBG Limited Edition Controller DLC item (Male Jacket) would display in an incorrect colour
The new PUBG Xbox One update should go live for everyone straight after the scheduled maintenance has been completed.
