“The PUBG community on Xbox One has now grown to over four million players,” a Microsoft representative told me. “Additionally, players who have purchased the game and created a character by January 31, 2018 will be gifted 30,000 Battle Points to use toward in-game cosmetic item purchases.”
In another show of the game’s popularity, Microsoft also noted that PUBG has been the top gifted title in the Microsoft Store since its release.
Microsoft is also announcing the sixth major update to PUBG on Xbox One, which launched in December in a preview.

The firm says that it will “continue to build on the foundation we’ve laid with PUBG on Xbox One with the feedback received from the community.”
PUBG costs $29.99 and is available from the Microsoft Store on Xbox.
