PUBG’s new desert map is finally coming to Xbox One, only five months later﷽ than the PC vers𒁃ion.
Those tired of fighting it out on a faux-Russian island i𓄧n 🍸the Xbox One version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be pleased to find out tha൩t Miramar, the new dese🅺rt map, is coming to the console.
Miramar has been available on PC since last December and has brought a much-needed breath of fresh air into the otherwise repetitive gameplay. Although the base map, called Erangel, is a sprawling 8 km squared play area, it had been traversed enough times that most players had memorized every nook and cranny of the is♎land. Miramar’s arrival shook up the old metagame and put players on a more even playing field, at least for a while.
Now that same paradigm shift is coming to Xbox. But not entirely. It will first gets its kinks out on a public test server where the developers hope to squash as many bugs as possible before the final release date, which has yet to be announced. There’s even a bug bounty for the first 1𓆉50 players to report new bugs where they’ll be rewarded with "swaggy in-game items.”

To get in on the testing, gꦯo to the Xbox One Store and download "PUBG Test Server". Keep in mind, the test server won’t be available all daཧy, every day like the regular PUBG servers are. Testing starts Thursday, April 26th at 5 PM PDT, and runs to 11 P♉M PDT during the week. Over the🔜 weekend it’ll run from 11 AM to 11 PM PDT.
Matchmaking is also limited to the North American servers, so European and Asian players will be locked outꦚ unless they plan on burning the midnight oil.
"During the testꦗ period and beyond, we will be actively li🍷stening to player feedback and using it to improve the build,” writes Bluehole on their . "As the map is in an early stage of development, some aspects may not function as 🅰expected,” the developer adds, so be prepared for some even wonkier performance than PUBG normally manages.
There’s already been at least one major issue that has caused B🌱luehole to period, so if ꦰyou do hop on th🅺e test server be prepared for a wild ride.
