The January Vikendi update has worsened the rendering issues that has plagued PUBG on console. While PUBG fans were glad to finally get the Vikendi snow map, they were disappointed with how poorly optimized it was.

Another went for a more sarcastic approach, LegendaryZTV commented, “WAIT , a patch had issues & that was caught BEFORE it was pushed to live ?! Maybe times are changing because normally we would just be given the broken patch & wait for an additional hotfix ! +1 for BlueHole even with the delay.“
