PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Xbox One test server extended

The Xbox One test server for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) seems to have been a roaring success. The main drawbacks so far have been the complete downtime due to server issues (but hey, it's a test) and the pretty crummy times that Europeans have to play.

But this morning the developers have announced that the Miramar test server will continue a while longer.
