PUBG Developer Admits Failing Players; Defends Loot Boxes

Over the past year or so, it's become clear that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been a huge influence on gaming in general, with its 100-player Battle Royale mechanic leading to games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's Battle Royale modes. With the recent release of PUBG 's mobile version, the title is even managing to keep some semblance of pace with Fortnite , which eventually blasted past it in terms of Twitch presence on a platform formerly dominated by PUBG 's biggest streamers - but they are looking to change that going forw


Rigney went on to assure fans that the most recent map, the Sanhok jungle map, was made with even less pre-made assets, and that the upcoming winter map , will have an even higher ratio of original cont

The company may be in the midst of suing biggest rival Fortnite for copyright infringement, but it hasn't stopped Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene from being able to look proudly at his creation. Shifting 50 million copies is a big step for the game, and to sweeten the deal, PUBG Corp. is slashing its price on Steam. From June 19-July 5, newcomers to PUBG 's battle royale world can pick up a copy for just $19.99 (a reduction of 3


As **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** celebrates a milestone 50 million copies sold, the battle royale blockbuster is attempting to invite even more players to the party by hosting its first ever sale. PUGB Corp. announced that a jaw-dropping 400 million gamers are signed up across Windows PC, Xbox, Android, and iOS, with PUBG helping 87 million fans play the sprawling death match every


According to our research, only a few specific types of weapons (ARs) are used in most situations. We believe the choice about which gun to use should be based on personal preference and its effectiveness in any given situation, rather than simply "which gun is strongest." Our goal is to make it so no one gun will feel objectively better than the oth


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds may not have created the battle royale genre, but it certainly popularized it. Since its explosion in popularity in 2017, a number of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds " clones" have popped up, including some mobile games that are blatant copies of PUBG , as well as games that offer enough fresh ideas to become something entirely different, such as Fortnite . Developer PUBG Corp. has attempted to sue Fortnite and other games for their similarities to its game, a decision that has been criticized since Pubg Patch Notes itself has been accused of being an "asset fl


The post reminds PUBG players that this is the first time a balance patch like this has been introduced and that it will be trialed on the test servers before going live. Weapon attachments will undergo similar changes, although the post doesn't reveal exactly how the armory will be affected. Elsewhere, the lauded level three helmets are being confined solely to supply drops. Effectively an extra life to players, the level three helmet was crucial in protecting your head from those sniper sh


For newbies and seasoned players alike, it will mean that maps are no longer littered with people simply running for the assault rifles and gunning everyone down from a distance, however, does it not rob PUBG of some of the fun? Making everyone equal (or more equal) will at least force gamers to become better at **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** instead of running towards the best weapon and grabbing it as beginner's luck. There is no word on when PUBG Corp. will roll out the patch, but developers promise it will be "very so


Parachuting from the sky and taking out opponents in a last-man-standing deathmatch on a shrinking map is proving to be just as addictive as it was last year, despite constant competition from other battle royale games like Fortnite . However, listening to the wishes of its fans, PUBG Corp. is constantly striving to change the gaming experience for the better. As the devs introducing a major patch, prepare for things to be a little different on the battlefi


It is still a two-horse race between PUBG and Fortnite , but with the latter's recent release on Switch and also heading for Android, the colorful Fortnite is edging ahead of PUBG 's more realistic backdrop. Thankfully, PUBG has a trick up its sleeve with the new Sanhok map. Getting a game-wide release on June 22, Sanhok - a mix of the Thai word "fun" and "chicken" - will join fan-favoite maps Erangel and Miramar but add a taste of Southeast Asia. Elsewhere, PUBG confirmed it will be getting a snow-capped winter map later this year as w


"Why should one of my artists spend two weeks on a generic sculpt if they could instead spend that two weeks adding real value for players elsewhere? How many times should a telephone booth be modeled? How many times do we gotta sculpt a cash regist


With Fortnite eschewing loot boxes entirely in its Battle Royale mode (although individual seasons offer their own unique cosmetics, similar to Overwatch ), it’s already ahead of the curve. Perhaps by the time Sanhok arrives, the wait for for a more stable game will seem like it was worth it. However, with a never-ending stream of cosmetics and constant reminders for microtransactions blemishing player inventory, all while many of them experience blatant performance issues, PUBG Corp. should keep running — that blue wall might be closer than it lo
