PUBG on Xbox One has been patched to allow for new control schemes.

Players can now use the left trigger to aim in first-person, or left bumper to aim in third-person. Moreover, hitting up on the d-pad will equip a pistol.

Here’s the full list of patch notes:

  • Pistols have been removed from Y button’s weapon rotation and grouped with the melee weapon.
  • Players can now equip pistols by pressing ‘up’ on the D pad.

Optimization

  • Continued improvements related to player “rubber banding”.
  • Enhanced server performance while parachuting.

Option

  • Added a new controller preset to options menu.
    • Type B (new preset) now supports:
      • Holding LT to aim down sight.
      • Holding LB to use 3rd person perspective aim sight.
  • Controller guide has been updated to include  the new controller preset.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where players repositioned out of the battleground after certain actions and remained invulnerable until the end of the match.
  • Additional memory and non-memory related crash fixes.
  • Fixed the inability to join duo/squad through invites outside of game.

Known issues to be addressed next patch:

  • Dropping objects causes the player to switch weapons.
  • User is unable to switch grenade types when tapping right on the D-Pad.

What do you make of the patch?

PUBG is available as a full retail release on Windows PC, or via early access on Xbox One.
