A recent blog post from Joon H. Choi, lead project manager of PUBG's console versions, has shed more light on the game's next-gen performance goals and development. As is, there is currently no native next-gen version of PUBG, with the team instead focused on providing solid backwards-compatibility support for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 hardware.
Choi says that many fans have been calling for higher-quality graphics, boosted frame rate caps, and additional features to benefit the next-gen experience. The Xbox Series S uses the Xbox One S version of PUBG, which previously meant that any changes made to either version would affect the other. The team has now found a solution that allows for changes to be made to a specific device, which has resulted in a 60 FPS version becoming possible on Xbox Series S with update 9.2.
In theory, this workaround should allow the team to make greater enhancements to other versions of the game, but the decision has been made not to do so. "This is where we cross the line between backwards-compatibility and native support", says Choi.
