PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was one of the vanguards of the Battle Royale genre when it launched in 2017. It instantly became one of the world’s most popular online games, in constant competition with Fortnite . Recently, though, the genre has exploded in popularity , with new games coming out at a rapid pace and existing games adding Battle Royale modes to get in on the trend. Most of these games add features that expand on the genre, increasing the pressure on PUBG to keep adding new twists its
There are four different free Horizon Zero Dawn skins for players to unlock in PUBG including a hooded Horizon Zero Dawn Eclipse Top, a Horizon Zero Dawn Eclipse Mask, a Horizon Zero Dawn Eclipse Kar98k, and also a Horizon Zero Dawn Pan featuring a symbol over a silver design. Each individual skin is earned separately during the event; the skins aren't bundled into one pack
Patch 25 is currently available on the PUBG Test Server. It won't be too long before you can experience the Canted Sight ( and the new Snow Bike ) in the live version of the game. Until then, consider sharing this article with your squad so they know what to do when it does officially rele
At the moment, it's uncertain if the Chinese regulators have begun enforcing this ban because Fortnite and PUBG are still playable. Until then, however, all players can enjoy all that season 7 of Fortnite has to offer, including the latest OP weapon, the Infinity Bl
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Sony are partnering to bring a special gift to battle royale fans playing on PlayStation 4. Starting soon, PUBG players will be able to earn an exclusive set of skins based on Guerilla Games' PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn . The skins will be exclusive to the PS4 version of PUBG and while they're entirely free, they do ask players to accomplish certain challenges during the limited time event. The Horizon Zero Dawn event will start on March 4 and last a month, so there's no need for players to r
The Canted Sight is being added to the game in the upcoming patch 25, which is currently playable on the PUBG Test Server on PC. It's a weapon attachment that's being added to the loot pool and allows players to quickly switch between any sight of their choosing and a canted red dot si
Patch 30 adds a good amount of additional updates, most notably the Deagle (a version of the powerful Desert Eagle handgun found in many games) and a set of pre-written text messages called Radio Messages. Players can select these from a radial menu to quickly communicate with teammates when they can’t use voice c
I've logged an absurd amount of hours into PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ) on Xbox One (God rest my soul) and two Steam accounts (because apparently I was too good and they thought I was hacki
PlayerUnknown _ 's _ **BATTLEGROUNDS ** ' Erangel, the map that arguably kickstarted the battle royale craze, is finally getting a much-needed facelift and mechanical overhaul later this summer. PUBG is one of the most successful battle royale titles of all time, although the game has recently fallen on harder times with the subsequent successes of the now much more popular Fortnite and, to a lesser extent, Apex Legends ,
Overall, Patch 30 adds plenty of content to keep players interested. While it’s likely nothing that would sway new players to finally try the game out, it may be enough to bring back lapsed players who previously found the game’s relative lack of mobility annoying. It’s also interesting to see PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds _ presumably taking cues from newer Battle Royales , with the addition of Radio Messages that seem clearly inspired by _Apex Legends ’ widely praised pinging sys
As Battle(non)sense points out, the networking side of the game seems to have been less of a focus than the moment to moment gameplay and fresh take on the genre as a whole . Considering EA is currently looking to hire a senior network engineer for Apex Legends and that the game has garnered a staggering amount of success since it released last month, it's looking likely that many of these issues may be fixed sooner than la
PUBG has also been openly criticized about the decisions being made behind the scenes of the game, especially those regarding skins and other cosmetic items usually purchased through microtransactions. The infamous Suicide Squad collaboration from last year raised the ire of many a player for the frankly ridiculous cost of some simple cosmetic costumes, and the game's marketplace on Steam has gone through several iterations of comedic inflation on sought-after items. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but PUBG also has been losing ground when it comes to pure play, with many believing Fortnite to be a more enjoyable experience while Apex Legends has more refined and skill-intensive mechanics. Where once there was a clear niche PUBG occupied, now the game's identity has begun to wa
