Local Australian PUBG Xbox One servers: Microsoft sits on the fence

Microsoft has taken to the top of the fence when it comes to local Aussie PUBG servers for the game’s Xbox One version.

“The PUBG Corp. team has selected the server structure that best meets the needs of each region and provides the most optimal wait times and gameplay experiences available in each market,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Stevivor.

“In addition to the servers available immediately at launch and with the opening of the Asia server option, the team will continue investigating the need for new servers in different regions to better serve the growing PUBG community on Xbox around the world.”

Of the three server locales available to Aussies — North America, Europe and Asia — the latter works the best in our trials. Because of the early access nature of the game, it’s sometimes hard to tell if performance issues are a result of poor optimisation or server lag.

Are you abstaining from PUBG on Xbox One until we get localised servers? Why or why not?

PUBG is available now on Windows PC and Xbox One. Aussies do have the benefit of localised servers on PC.
