PUBG Testing Miramar Map On Test Servers Ahead Of Next Week’s Release
Yesterday we reported that Miramar map would be coming to Xbox One version of PUBG, and the team behind the game is testing it out now to ensure that everything is ready to go for the release. The major focus on this release to their test servers is to ensure that players can take to the battle royale at this location without any serious issues that they didn’t find while developing. Additionally, outside of being able to load and play the Miramar map, the team wants to ensure that it performs optimally and with stability.
Players will be able to play both the desert location of Miramar and the original PUBG map of Erangel in this test for the Xbox One. Solos, Duos, and squad play are all available in first person and third person game modes. Simply put, it will look like the standard game that players are used to seeing but with the new map, optimization and stability changes, and a host of bug fixes that were introduced. If you interested in helping them weed out any bugs before the game goes live, the team is actively looking for players to jump in and report any odd behavior they see via their official forums.
Check out the details below on the latest PUBG patch for the Xbox One test servers:

Known issue:
After long play sessions (three or more hours) on the standard Xbox One and the Xbox One S, the game sometimes crashes. This has been a problem for some time, and we hope to solve it soon. In the meantime, there’s a simple workaround you can use. Simply restart the app every couple of hours if you plan on playing a longer play session.
