Obviously, this is very heavily flagged by Microsoft as a ‘Game Preview’ release (its version of Early Access) so to some extent those performance issues are to be expected. On Xbox’s closed system it suffers even more. That said, on PC the original is a poorly optimised game at the best of times, requiring more power than it should to run well. In a style that’s not unlike The Hunger Games, there’s only ever one winner (a person or team) and it’s generally a stressful and exhilarating mix of stealth, patience and luck. Everyone starts unarmed and scrabbles to grab guns and gear, while a damaging blue energy field slowly pushes them closer and closer together. The game itself, just in case you’re not up to speed, is a very asymmetrical multiplayer gamer that sees 100 players dropped onto an island, all trying to kill each other.
