Battlegrounds’ first-person only mode is a new addition as part of the game’s fourth monthly update.
Although you can switch between third- and first-person views in normal matches, dedicated mode means you’ll only see first-person views.
This means you can’t see around corners, ledges, or behind you with the camera, and the limited perspective creates a different feeling of combat and exploration.

How to start a Battlegrounds game only in first person
At this time, first-person servers are not available in PUBG on Xbox One, but you can continue on PC after a short period on the PC test server over the summer.
To start a first-person only game, hover over the game start area in the top left corner and the options for first-person (or FPP) games will be at the bottom.
Squads were also added in the weeks following the mode’s release.
How First Person Mode is Different in Battlegrounds
In the words of Playerunknown himself in an interview with Eurogamer, playing in first person “is not better”, but rather “different”, giving rise to certain more “intense” situations. Here are some things you should know before entering the mode:
- If you’re comfortable with third person by this point, it may be worth knowing the gameplay differences between first and third person modes, and the advantages third person offers defenders in most areas.
This video from MagnumDopus shows several situations, hiding in a corner and next to a window, where one player has a full view of the approaching player, but the other is unaware. These are useful tactics in third-person play, but they are no longer available in first-person, putting both players on a much more even footing, meaning you have to be much more careful with your use of your environment.
- As such, “hiding” is now easier, both for you and the opposition. Hide behind walls and in the corners of rooms if you suspect someone is nearby and want to jump or avoid them, and when exploring buildings, be sure to take extra care when clearing rooms. Take your time and be prepared for people to be lurking.
- Likewise, exploring the island in first person gives you less visibility into your surroundings, so it’s important to use the environment to conceal your presence. You can easily miss enemies next to you or from a distance, and there’s a chance you could narrowly miss a player without even realizing it. Take cover to hide your presence and keep your eyes peeled for any approaching movement.

- Leaning (by default with the Q and E keys) allows you to poke your head out from corners without exposing your entire body.
- If you want to try out first-person mode in third-person matches (either as temporary practice on real servers or simply by preference), tap the V key. You can also tap the right mouse button (without holding it) to aim down sights. .
- Remember to toggle the FOV slider to your liking. Although first person is intentionally restricted, moving the slider between 80 and 103 degrees allows you to see a few more degrees of your surroundings.
