Like a lot of people in North America, Monster Hunter World was my first taste of the franchise. Upon initially booting the game up I stopped playing it and wanted to return it.

Obviously, PUBG: Battlegrounds will be accessible to every Xbox owner for free two days after its removal from Game Pass, so there’s less pressure for subscribers to beat that clock. Due to the battle royale nature of the title, the amount of time it would take to beat PUBG is a far more nebulous topic than some of the other considerable time sinks leaving the service in January.
