<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2qoBn5b">PUBG</a> launched on <a href="http://ift.tt/2nK1ajp">Xbox One</a> in the Game Preview program one month ago this week. After picking up <a href="http://ift.tt/2BnnMy7">1 million players in its first 48 hours</a>, the popular Battle Royale game reached more than 3 million players by the end of 2017, Microsoft <a href="http://ift.tt/2AR6Nm7" rel="nofollow">announced today on the Xbox Wire</a>.</p>
<p>The unfinished game is available for $30. Unlike other Game Preview titles,<a href="http://ift.tt/2nYYZgR"> PUBG on Xbox One does not offer a free trial</a>, which may have helped improve sales. If the three million players comes out to 3 million copies sold, at $30 apiece, that would amount to $90 million in revenue. It is unclear if this makes PUBG the most successful Game Preview game ever (others included <a href="http://ift.tt/2nXDJmr">Ark: Survival Evolved </a>and <a href="http://ift.tt/2n2A1Iq">Conan Exiles</a>), though we suspect that might be the case.</p>
<p>PUBG for Xbox One had its<a href="http://ift.tt/2AqHdoL"> fair share of issues at launch</a>, and the game&#8211;which, again, is unfinished&#8211;is still is not completely smooth. But PUBG developer PUBG Corp. has released a <a href="http://ift.tt/2FrnZSL">handful of updates already</a> that have improved the overall experience. New features have come online, too, including first-person support for the solo, duo, and squads modes. More updates are planned for the time ahead, while the new map, Miramar, is also on the way.</p>
<p>There is no word as of yet as to when PUBG will leave the Game Preview program on Xbox One and launch its 1.0 version. The <a href="http://ift.tt/2nKlIbK">PC</a> edition was in Early Access on Steam for around nine months before its <a href="http://ift.tt/2kChHH1">1.0 edition arrived in December</a>.
