Probably not if you mean suddenly start selling like the PS4. But it gives anyone with an XB a kick ass game to play.

Too late :(

No... because most fans of Xbox has made it clear that if a game is not running 4k 60fps it is crap or being held back by PlayStation. Such conundrums thrown around that this game may suffer on a console with such view points from the consoles fanbase.

Anyways, Xbox is basically getting an early access beta form of the game since the pc version is still in beta.

Could clickbait sites stop asking the same stupid question?

No. PUBG will help, but it's not going to be a system seller on Xbox, especially seeing as the game will innevitably come to PS4. Games like World of Tanks and Smite, that garnered massive followings during their PC exclusivity, do tend to be popular enough on consoles, but millions of people don't run out all at one time to grab a console for them.

I've played more ark, elite, astroneer and soon to be conan, pubg and path of exile on xbox long before other console releases. One of the reasons I have favored my xbox this gen... These PC ports are important for me as my laptop is garbage. I'll play these while I wait for the supposed no games on xbox lol. Long overdue for MS to integrate with PC more. Now give me civilization and age of empires on console please.

Im sorry i just dont see the point to play this game on a console... i enjoy this game but this fits good on the pc...i will never get this to xbox or ps4 if even cames to ps4....enjoy it on the pc...=)

Jus waiting for batlegrounds and I X1X.

Since it is now July of 2017 and we are still asking "could___________________ _____ (fill in the blank with just about anything), turn things around for xbox", the answer is probably no. Also considering its not only not exclusive as there is already the PC version it will be even less exclusive when the inevitable Playstation version arrives its unlikely it will "turn things around.

something ______ Turn Things Around for Xbox? This phrase is being used since the launch of this gen.

Sony is selling in the US more then the combined sales of Microsoft and Nintendo. Give it rest. Sales are increasing and not the away around.

If sony stop selling consoles right now, maybe by 2020 they would be close.....

there's a ps4 port schelduled so????????????

Dont think so. But what I do know is that pubg is the most fun game of the year and everyone should try it out.

I mean it could, but who knows? I am looking forward to BDO more tho.

It was a big enough splash that it's making me consider getting an Xbox. I never cared before but if this game is really good on console then I'll almost definitely get it. Especially since Xbox's exclusive lineup is looking better.

No, but it could account for a million console sales in the long run.

No. Its not even exclusive. To turn around or keep a platform alive its need to be like Gran Turismo, Halo or Pokemon level.

The game looks great but I don't think its near that

It sure doesn't hurt and has plenty in the good column, but it is one of many steps that need to happen for Xbox to be as good as it once was.

I can never understand how people can support any game from Blue Hole Studio. They will turn the game into full P2W in time.

The only reason this became popular is due to it being fashionable to stream on twitch/YouTube

It will die off soon

Lol everything I read about this coming to Xbox is "with this title help Xbox? Will it save Microsoft? Short answer, no. Sure it will probably sell exceedingly well but it will not be a system seller like Halo/Forza, etc. People forget PlayStation is also receiving the title just after a few more months of launch on Xbox.

You'd need something closer to the kind of miracles religious figures can conjure up or sorcery to "turn things around"

We are fine in the Xbox camp, oh this is an opinion piece.

No

No? Xbox One sales are still outpacing Xbox 360 sales so what does it mean by...? Oh, because the PS4 killed it this gen so that shows the XB1 is "dead"? Please... It's still got a healthly amount of years left... Along with the PS4. It's time to move on that PS4 hardware sales are better. Not can we all just play our preferred way of playing games and just stop being pathetic?

I think it will gain a good audience but turn things around for xbox, LMAO

For them to call those playing racing games a "niche audience by comparison"? Comparison to what? Do they not realize that racing games sell well and to a large audience around the world?

It's only exclusive to XBox while its in early access because Sony isn't a fan a early access games on PS4. That's literally the only reason we are not seeing it on PS4 yet.

There's nothing to turn around. The Xbox division is fine. There will be more games. I'm sure the system will keep selling well.

With a game that eventually comes to PS4...unlikely.
That being said there's nothing wrong with second place.
But XB1s&X do need some truly exclusive games (But, But the PC ya that's fine I still call it exclusive even if it's on the PC)

I guess people don't realize that this is a timed exclusive. The developers said as much at E3.

Possible but heavily unlikely considering how far PS4 is doing sales wise not to mention the fact Battlegrounds will come to PS4 eventually.

Microsoft wants that chicken dinner all to themselves. Probably looks like A$$

If it was a console exclusive it might have tempted a few to buy an Xbox but the fact that it is coming to PS4 once it is out of early access means it won't make any difference at all. Only a good dozen or so true, AAA exclusives would change things now and that isn't on the cards for sure.

Unfortunately no if halo gears forza call of duty overwatch etc [insert big game here] than no battlegrounds a console launch exclusive not full exclusive wont turn it around sales wise either

It'll do very very well. But its not gonna close the gap between XB and PS. That is just ludicrous

@Auto Fire you have to remember that your talking to mediocre gamers that beats games on Normal and then they are done w/the game. Don't pay those peasants any mind!

I know I'm gonna get it! Can't wait to try it

Don't know. All I know is I'm very excited toplay PUBG. And will be getting an Xbox One X day one to play it.

Why would it.. Its a timed exclusive it will come to ps4 aswell

Oh is this an exclusive? Looks cool. Now do this x10 for the rest of the year and you'll be good. Kind of tired of the one good title every 9 months thing you've got going.

They said the same about the last Tomb Raider remember? There is no magic game people stop it.

Does it really release this year on Xbox? Last I heard it is a 2018 release.

Don't see the big fuss about this game at all (then again, I don't for ANY online only game). I heard about the premise and have not seen a single bit of game play footage bar one or 2 screenshots.
Then I read that the online count is 50 on a team or so. Seriously? I thought it was 500 or something the way people were going on about it. Then the fact Microsoft got behind it makes sense now. Xbox Live, of course, wouldn't be able handle 500 players in something like this let alone 100.
Microsoft always get behind things that goes easy on Live so it doesn't get stressed, like last gen's tiny 100mb games like Minecraft and World of Tanks.

If there was a time to turn Xbox around it's past by now. PS4 and Switch won't be stopped by Xbox.

The Taliban is so violent, dogmatic, bigoted, and sexist that it shouldn’t exist.

The Taliban, of all people.............

Is it April ?

It should be ban because it’s old and boring

lol

Really keeping the priorities straight with 3/4 of your country starving.

talk about having a serious lack of self awareness.

Irony = 100

As the Taliban decapitates people in the streets for crimes they can't even prove they've committed.

LMAO! The irony..the hypocrisy...the pot calling the kettle black.

Shooting at women who want to go to school is not violent according to those delusional fools

Shooting at people in video games will stop you from shooting at real people in real life. I can see the logic there.

I had to read the article first to make sure this isn't from Hard Drive.

OT

This is what happens when a government gets involved with entertainment.

Clown World 2022

I never knew the Taliban were comedians

i can see everyone in comments here brainwashed by western media....oh well

Violence should be on the streets and not in games :D

Well, better to just smoke some Opium and stare at some dirt and bushes instead. Remember it was the Russians that destroyed and left Afghanistan the way it is today.

Wow, that's rich coming from them. How ironic.

Lmao I will never understand why real life people stress over virtual worlds, like one of our favorite characters can come through the screen or some smdh I’m starting to think a lot of more people are mentally challenged 😂

Over there the Taliban actually think other people are too weak to resist the temptations of violent video games and when played they are taking the risk to act upon those impulses, therefore they must ban the content throughout the country wtf? In a lot of these games, the violence involves killing islamic guerilla fighters, so it's a huge blow to their ego when they see how easily they get mowed down in a firefight and how pathetically bad their aim is.

And in an unexpected plot twist...

Wait till they see GTA😂

causes the young generation to go astray”, then maybe they should keep the girls having a good education.
