It is a 4×4 compact map that’s inspired by the islands across Southeast Asia and obviously features faster gameplay and circle dynamics.

Sanhok will introduce all-new weapons and vehicles in addition to the debut of dynamic weather changes for the first time on Xbox One.

Also,PUBG version 1.0 will also bring along the oh-so-popular ‘War Mode’ to Xbox One.

There’s respawning involved so you’ll be back amidst the action in no time.

The game will also bring along Event Pass: Sanhok to Xbox to allow you to‘open up more missions, more levels, and tons of permanent rewards’on the Sanhok map. There’s also support for in-game currency to purchase cosmetic upgrades, some of which you’ll secure via a DLC that comes in tow with the digital and retail release.

If you’re already testing the early access version, all of you existing achievements will be carried over to the official PUBG release.

Finally, Microsoft is adding to the fun and hasannounced a new PUBG limited edition Xbox One controllerthat features an exclusive digital camo design, trigger grips, golden D-pad, and the PUBG insignia at the rear end.
