Fortnite's battle royale mode might get more attention these days, but PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still going strong. To help PUBG compete with its free competitor, a number of retailers have been putting it on sale in recent months. But right now the Microsoft Store is selling the Xbox One version of this Early Access game for the cheapest price we've seen yet: $12. You can buy it here. Considering that it normally retails for $30, that's a killer deal for the game that first pushed the battle royale genre into widespread popularity.

　　Much like Fortnite, PUBG has 100 players parachute onto an island, scavenge for weapons and equipment, and set out to kill each other. A deadly storm closes in as they do, herding everyone to a single spot on the map until only one player or team is left standing.

　　Now Playing: Xbox One Summer of PUBG - Official Announcement Trailer

　　Unlike Fortnite, PUBG comes with more than one map. It has the original map, Erangel, plus a desert map called Miramar that was added in May. A third map called Sanhok is already live in the PC version of the game, and is coming to the Xbox One version later this summer. A fourth map is also in the works.

　　From GameSpot's 8/10 PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds review: "PUBG's technical shortcomings can undermine its broader achievements on rare occasions, but they don't override your desire to continue playing. Each phase of a match presents a different type of tension that is equal parts thrilling and terrifying, driven by the insatiable desire to be the last person (or squad) standing."

　　So if you've been considering picking up PUBG on Xbox One, now is the time to do so.
