A hundred players parachute onto the island, but the game is almost ready to parachute onto the Xbox One. That’s right, PUBG Corp has announced a release date for the Xbox One launch of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds at Paris Games Week.
Also today, Mojang is adding the potent fanbase of Stranger Things to Minecraft with a new Skin Pack.

PUBG Coming to Xbox One on December 12, 2017 [Xbox Wire]
Microsoft and PUBG Corp have announced that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be available to download for the Xbox One in an early access version through the Xbox Game Preview program on December 12. CEO Chang Han Kim also confirmed that “Version 1.0” should be available for PC players sometime in late December:
Beginning December 12, Xbox fans will be able to play PUBG while it’s still in early access through the Xbox Game Preview program. We’re approaching development on Xbox One with the same community-driven focus that we’ve taken with the game on PC. As a result, the ultimate battle royale experience that fans play on Xbox One will be slightly different than what players know today on PC.
In addition to announcing Xbox’s XGP launch date on December 12, we also shared the exciting news that we’re on track to launch 1.0 for the PC version in late December. This has been an amazing year for us and launching both 1.0 on PC and on Xbox through Xbox Game Preview are huge milestones for the team. I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come in such a short time, but I’m even more excited to say that we’re just getting started.
