Microsoft has announced that chicken-loving shooter PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has notched up over eight million players worldwide on Xbox One.

To celebrate the milestone, the console maker has announced a new Xbox One bundle featuring a full download of PUBG Corp's battle royale juggernaut, a 1TB console, and 1-month Xbox LIVE Gold/Game Pass trial. 

The PUBG Xbox One bundle will go on sale for $499 later this week.

PUBG is also available on PC and mobile, although the Xbox One edition is usually a few months behind the PC version in terms of content updates. 

The shooter competes with Fortnite in the battle royale landscape, although Epic Games' title seems to be giving PUBG a bit of a kicking in terms of raw numbers

A recent update for the mobile version of the game added a first-person view.
