Players on PC have been able to play on the PlayerUnknwown’s Battlegrounds Miramar map for some time now however the map won’t officially escape testing phase on the Xbox One version until May 24th.

The addition of the PUBG mobile version’s Miramar map ahead of the Xbox One’s release could indicate a future trend where mobile receives content first, though looking at the grander picture – that doesn’t seem likely. The team still has a long way to go before they catch up to the PC build of the game, we’re just hoping for fewer bumps along the way to its full release. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently available on PC, Xbox One, and mobile devices.
