Firstly, Automaton has previous experience in multiplayer games; its most recent development was the psychological stealth and combat title Deceit . More than that, the technical creation has to do with a cloud-based technology called SpatialOS, built by London games company Improbable. The tech allows the game to operate within the cloud, thus letting developers exceed the power capacity of a single game engine or particular ser


Recently, the incredibly popular multiplayer shooter, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds set the record for most concurrent users on Steam , breaking the streak of the Valve-developed game, Dota 2 . At the time, the Early Access title hit 1,342,857 players, while the MOBA reached 1,295,114. Well, it seems that count is still climbing and has now reached 1,523,179 million concurrent us


The screenshots, which you can check out below, are just a teaser for the game's next big update. Patch notes for this update will be released tomorrow. The screenshots themselves show how foggy weather will impact vision in forests, fields, and in city stre


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been getting a lot of coverage lately, and rightly so. Besides being one of the most popular games on Steam , PUBG will launch on concoles first on Xbox One , and has a new gun on the way. Today, several screenshots showing off the game's upcoming foggy weather mechanic were released and they the impact it's going to have isn't hard to


Since its announcement, many have raised concerns regarding the similarities between the mode and PUGB, with some even suggesting that the mode is not so much just inspired by Bluehole's shooter, Pubgplayground.com but is more of a copy and paste eff


A screenshot showed that the new gun will be the Mini-14, a semi-automatic rifle. It's unconfirmed whether or not the gun will be exclusive to care packages like some of the other weapons that have been brought into the ga


If you've never heard of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds __ before, it's essentially a game where you and a bunch of other players are dropped onto a map and forced to kill each other until only one player, or squad, rema

The addition of the fog should strike fear, or excitement, into the hearts of players (depending which side of the gun you're on), especially in first-person-only servers. Though when the fog rolls through it may be even harder to decipher where those silenced SKS shots are coming f


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is currently in Early Access and available for PC through Steam for $29.99. The game is set to launch in 2018. An Xbox One version will be available sometime this year through its Game Preview program.

Both the fort-building co-op sandbox survival game Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto V have received Battle Royale game modes of their own, additions that were likely motivated by the news of PUBG crossing more than 10 million sales while still in early acc


Currently in the works at studio Automation in the United Kingdom, Project X includes a last-man standing player-versus-player "sport" mode that allows up to 400 players to compete at a time, which is where comparisons to the well-loved PUBG will undoubtedly be made. But the enigmatic game is much more than just one hoping to trump one of this year's biggest games. It actually offers up to 1,000 concurrent players to battle in a single world on a staggeringly large 12km by 12km
