In addition to
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' desert map gameplay at tonight's Game Awards show, two very important dates were announced.
The first is December 20,2017, the day
PUBG will officially exit Early Access and launch 1.0 on PC. The second date is December 12, 2017, and that's when
PUBG will arrive on Xbox One as a work-in-progress via the Game Preview program.
Before all that though, players are now able to preview
PUBG's brand new desert map, Miramar. It's playable tonight at midnight Pacific time and will eventually find its way to Xbox One in "early 2018."
About the new map, officially called Miramar, here's Bluehole's statement:
We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit. When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating an environment that is very different from Erangel. We wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests and arrived at the harsh and unforgiving desert of what we can now reveal is Miramar. The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required.
