On December 12, this year's biggest smash-hit, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), will be making its console debut on Xbox One.

While exact locations of the crates are yet to be revealed, the supply drops are currently scheduled for December 9, 2017. For those in the area looking to secure a crate for themselves, Microsoft plans to share more details on Facebook leading up to the event.
