PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Gets a New Update With Key Changes

The devs for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds just added a new update to the Xbox One version that is set to clear up a number of bugs. But it appears players may be more angry at the game for removing a specific element that they use to psyche themselves up before the game. The starting area has been changed so that different groups of players will appear in one of three special areas before the plane takes off, and all of the weapons have been removed so there's no pre-match gunplay.

The update also removes a PUBG glitch that allowed players to revive themselves, where if you get knocked down and a teammate comes to help you up, all the teammate had to do was start the process then stand up and walk away, allowing the glitch to let you finish the countdown. We have some of the more prominent additions for you below, and the link above for you to check out the full glitch report that comes with this update.
