If you've been looking to get into PUBG on Xbox One then we've got good news - Microsoft and PUBG Corp have made Playerunknown's Battlegrounds free to download and keep, although we're not sure for how long so you may want to hurry.
The move will save you $29.99, which is what PUBG originally goes for, so it's definitely a good deal. Naturally, you'll still need to have Xbox Live Gold, which is a separate purchase, but free is free.

Judging from the reviews, which are currently at 3 out of 5 stars on Microsoft's Store, Xbox One players haven't been exempt from PUBG's performance issues, which are just about taking the PC version to its knees. We guess it's only fair that PlayStation 4 users come to share our misery then.
