We are not used to these kinds of changes, but recently, other games have been more successful than PUBG when it comes to Xbox. Therefore, Bluehole feels the need of stepping up to satisfy player’s requirements. The New Xbox update #6 certainly improves the gamepad experience, allowing players to swap between options easily.
Furthermore, this update fixes quite a right amount of bugs and is suppressing camera shake when riding a vehicle as a passenger. After recent updates on the PC version regarding optimizations, the same type of changes are applied to the Xbox, optimizing PUBG further.
I would advise you to check the changes in the list below, as the gamepad changes could be significant for your gameplay. As a sixth update, we’re hoping that it will finally satisfy the majority of Xbox players and give them a reason to enjoy.
