The team at Bluehole are putting another PUBG patch through their Xbox test servers before bringing it to the live version of the game. There are tons of new improvements that developers are bringing to this console’s version of the game. For example, a focus on enhancing players use of scopes is apparent in the notes. With an expanded field of vision on all scopes, players will be able to have a wider spectrum on action ahead of them when looking down range.

Another major focus by the team was bringing improvements to the UI/UX. Colorblind and crosshair settings are being added in this Xbox One PUBG patch. For gamers like the writer of this article who have a form of colorblindness, having the ability to make changes like this is very important to be able to compete. Many other additions were made to allow players to tweak their game settings to work best for them.  Of course, with all patches, the team also released a laundry list of bugs that are corrected in this update.

Check out all the details on the upcoming Xbox One PUBG patch notes below:

PATCH CHANGES:

Settings menu changes:

• Game settings are now grouped up by category.
• Colorblind settings have been added
• Crosshair settings have been added
• Added a new slider interface
• Added an option to adjust strength of game controller vibration.
• Added an option to set deadzone for the left analog stick.
• Aim acceleration can now be completely disabled if set to 0.
  • Those of you who previously set it to “0” may want to set it to “1” to preserve the feel from previous patches.
• The game controller function guide has been updated.

Scopes have been changed to be more realistic:

• Expanded all scopes’ field of view
• Added a parallax effect when moving weapons quickly
• Added vignetting (darker edges), chromatic aberration (color difference caused by light refraction), and a distortion effect on the edge of scopes

Out-of-game menus and UX improvements:

• The “cancel matchmaking” UI has been improved. You can now cancel matchmaking by holding the X button on any screen except the SETTINGS menu
• We improved the UI that indicates that matchmaking is in progress. Progress time is now displayed. When a match is found, a countdown will appear
• Transition speed between menus has been increased
• Two new menu items have been added: CUSTOMIZATION and STORE.
  • To get a box, go to STORE > CRATES
  • To open the box you’ve received, go to MY ITEMS in STORE
  • On test servers, the number of boxes that can be purchased per week has been increased significantly (up to 100)
• After launching the game, a single, simplified loading screen pops up before the lobby appears (instead of many different screens)

A few more miscellaneous changes:

• Emotes have been added. Emote UI will show up if you press the LB+RB buttons at the same time. Choose an emote with the right analog stick and press down with the R stick to use the selected emote.
• We added some contextual on-screen popups that explain button functions.
• Added new grenade hit effects and animations
• We’ve removed the grenade’s knockback effect for player characters when dealing non-lethal damage (if players are killed by a grenade, they’ll still be knocked back)

Bug fixes

• There was a bug causing players to sometimes get stuck in a leaning position (caused by going prone while leaning). This is now fixed.
• Fixed an issue causing punching to slow down movement while sprinting
• Player can no longer see through walls by going prone near houses with stone steps in Miramar
• In spectator mode, water sounds sometimes inappropriately continued after changing perspective. This has now been fixed
• When preparing to throw grenades, the projection visualization no longer inappropriately penetrates through objects
