Xbox One X enhancements: 4K, HDR, 30 FPS

The battle royale game to rule them all is finally available now, on Microsoft's platform - following the lucrative exclusivity deal announced at this year's E3 - but beware: while Brendan Greene's headline-dominating hit looks markedly prettier on the One X over its more modest sibling, this is still very much an early access title.

Even on high-end PCs, which boast a near-endless pool of raw computing power to draw from, Pubg struggles to run consistently smoothly, so it's hardly surprising - if a tad disappointing, given the added support Bluehole's received from Microsoft and The Coalition for the port - that performance issues have carried over.

That said, this is still the only console platform that the survival shooter can be played on, so assuming one can look past the technical hiccups (full launch should solve some, if not all, of them) then the superior texture quality, ramped up field of view and stabler frame rate over 2013's base model makes Pubg a must-buy for prospective One X owners.
