PUBG ‘Patch 8’ heading to Xbox One; Brings fixes, damage balances

A new patch is hitting PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds that will bring some minor changes to the Xbox One version of the game. The last PUBG update, Patch 7, brought changes to vehicle and player damage, as well as a few other tweaks.

Patch 8 will pick up where Patch 7 left off and bring further balances to vehicle and player damage. Looking to bring the best balance, the team is bringing back increased damage to players who are struck by vehicles.

In addition to this, Patch 8 will resolve a number of issues, including vaulting issues, camera issues, and issues brought by disembarking vehicles. You can find all of the changes listed below:

Gameplay

• We received a lot of great feedback following the changes made to vehicle/player damage. We continue to tune and balance this element of gameplay, and are therefore reverting back to increased damage if a player is struck by a vehicle.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue preventing players from vaulting over specific ledges and/or windows
• The camera will now remain in the correct location following player death
• Vehicles will no longer relocate to another position on the map after the player disembarks
