This comes two weeks after the game reached three million players exactly one month after releasing in the Xbox Game Preview program on Dec. 12. Microsoft, which is publishing the Xbox One version, is celebrating the new milestone by giving out 30,000 Battle Points (BP) to all players.

“Anyone who has purchased or purchases PUBG on Xbox One and has created a character before January 31 at 12AM PST will receive this bonus, so if you’ve been waiting to jump onto the island, now is the perfect time to become a part of our growing community on console,” the company said on its official blog.

Players should expect to receive their free gift of in-game currency after Feb. 1 at 3 a.m. ET. The Xbox One version received its sixth update earlier this week, adding an auto-run function and more control options for inventory.
