Will stats from Game Preview achievements transfer over to 1.0 achievements?
We apologize for the confusion surrounding achievements in our original announcement. No, stats from Game Preview achievements will not transfer to 1.0

UPDATE: Headhunter Event Rewards
 
Back in July, we had an issue with delivering the correct rewards for the Headhunter community event. The correct reward was the Headhunter Crate, but due to a technical issue some players received a locked crate or a Raider Crate (weapon skin crate).
 
We will be retrieving the incorrect locked crates and Raider Crates from Xbox accounts and replacing those with the correct Headhunter Crate. Additionally, every eligible player from the event will receive a compensation prize separately from the crate, which are Punk Glasses.

PLAYERUNKNOWN Set & Pioneer Shirt Login Event
 
Hello everyone,
 
As you may know by now, the official 1.0 launch for PUBG on Xbox is coming September 4! If you missed the news, catch up on all of the details here.  
 
While we’re excited and getting prepared for the upcoming launch of 1.0, we wanted to take the time to properly thank our players who have stuck with us through the Game Preview phase. We’ve shared 9 months of development, which was full of ups, downs, lots of bugs (and bug fixes!), hardships, and memories that we’ll never forget. For that, we can’t thank you enough.
 
Simply put, we wouldn’t be where we are today without your help and support.  
 
So to thank our community, we will be running a login event from the time of this posting up until 1.0 release day on September 4. All you'll have to do is log into the game to receive the PLAYERUNKNOWN Set.
 
All players who have participated in Game Preview will receive the Pioneer Shirt on Monday.

Once again, a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us the last 9 months, whether it was through leaving us feedback on the forums, a bug report through a tweet, or sending words of encouragement through a kind message on Reddit. Without you, we couldn’t have made it to this milestone. We look forward to seeing you all on the other side at the 1.0 launch!

In order to prepare for the 1.0 launch of PUBG on Xbox, live servers will be undergoing a 16-hour maintenance. During this time, the live servers will be down and inaccessible.
 
The PTS will be available to play on during the maintenance period.
 
After the maintenance is over, 1.0 content will be available on live servers.
 
Maintenance Schedule
UTC: September 3 08:00 - September 4 00:00
PDT: September 3 1:00AM - 5:00PM
CEST: September 3 10:00AM - September 4 2:00AM
KST: September 3 5:00PM - September 4 9:00AM

Previously, we had announced that the login event for the PLAYERUNKNOWN Set would end on September 3 4:59PM PDT / September 4 1:59AM CEST / September 3 11:59PM UTC, which is the time that 1.0 officially launches.
 
What we did not take into account is the upcoming 16-hour maintenance. This was an oversight on our part and we deeply apologize for this. If you log into the game before maintenance begins on September 3 at 1:00AM PDT / September 3 10:00AM CEST / September 3 8:00AM UTC, you will receive the PLAYERUNKNOWN Set.  
 
To make up for this oversight, we will be "extending" the event after 1.0 launches and will be manually granting the set to Game Preview players who play at least one match during the first 24 hours of launch (September 4 00:00 - 23:59 UTC).  Because of the manual nature of this extension and the data that is required to pull + grant the set, we will be sending out the sets in about a week's time, with exact timing announced soon.
 
Game Preview players - Play at least 1 Match during the following times to receive the PLAYERUNKNOWN Set on Date TBA
 
UTC: September 4 00:00 - 23:59
PDT: September 3 5:00PM - September 4 4:59PM
CEST: September 4 2:00AM - September 5 1:59AM
KST: September 4 9:00AM - September 5 8:59AM
 
We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by this mistake. Thank you for your patience.

Xbox 1.0 Walkthrough: Achievements
 
In a previous community post, we informed you that achievements earned during Xbox Game Preview would not retroactively unlock in 1.0. We’re happy to inform you we’ve found a workaround for the issue that will enable us to retroactively reward achievements we know players care the most about including the hardest and most difficult achievement to obtain - the coveted Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. In addition to Winner Winner Chicken Dinner players will be able to unlock the following achievements with the release of 1.0:  
 
    - Last Survivor - Win a Match 10 Times
    - Winner Winner Chicken Dinner - Obtain a Chicken Dinner in Solo
    - Dynamic Duo - Obtain a Chicken Dinner in Duos
    - Fantastic Four - Obtain a Chicken Dinner in Squads
    - Long and Winding Road - Kill 1000 Players
    - Collateral Damage - Kill 100 Players
    - Devil Inside Me - Kill 10 Players
    - Blood On My Hands - Kill a Player
    - Airborne - Jump 101 Times
 

 

 
We know the hard work and effort that goes into unlocking achievements and we’re happy we were able to find a solution for our Game Preview achievement hunters! Thanks for your patience and understanding. We will see you in 1.0!

Xbox 1.0 Walkthrough: Sanhok
 
Hello everyone,
 
With the 1.0 launch of PUBG on Xbox on September 4 comes a highly anticipated addition to the game for everyone to enjoy - welcome to the new map, Sanhok!
 

 
Sanhok is a 4x4km island map inspired by a wide variety of islands across southeast Asia, including those found in Thailand and the Philippines. To reflect that inspiration, we invented a sort of hodgepodge combination of two words:
 
First, the Thai word for “fun:” สนุก (pronounced like “sah-nook”)
Second, the Filipino (Tagalog) word for “chicken:” manok (pronounced like “mah-nok”)
 
Combine the two and you get Sanhok (pronounced “sah-nok”)!
