PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is the Survival Game for People That Don't Like Survival Games

The next Monthly Update will also introduce the game's first new paid cosmetic items through a "crate and key system," which Greene took time in the community forum to address. Due to some of the negative reaction towards implementing the system, Greene expressed that the introduction and testing of the new paid cosmetics will "serve as the foundation of a healthy economy after launch," and will aim to "benefit all players - both who are willing to pay and who are not willing to pay for vanity items." However, Greene also addressed that "our messaging wasn't clear" in terms of implementing the new system, and added that the team will "try to communicate better moving forwa


Specifically, the biggest of these hazards is a blue electrical field surrounding the map that, over the course of the match, gradually pushes players into a select region of the map over time. Those that are unlucky enough to be outside of the field (or the "blue circle") will meet their demise, while the circle also acts as a way to corral players from across the vast map and force confrontation. Naturally, that means players not only have to be on the lookout for other players, but also requires a constant situational awareness of what is happening on the map, and how to avoid getting killed by the environment or using it to your advant


The theory goes that when John was left behind by the gang in a failed robbery attempt, he took out a few of his traitorous comrades before he left, including Arthur Morgan. A good way to fill a plot h


Specifically, Greene clarified with the game's new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd


But for as many flaws as PUBG landing strategies has, both subtle and incredibly noticeable, it's also the game I've just wanted to keep coming back to month after month after month. By breaking down the core mechanics of survival games into matches that are both intense and easy to hop back into, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has provided a multiplayer experience that plays out drastically different each time, and yet is just as exhilarating each time that I p


Recently there was a treasure hunt of sorts inside of Grand Theft Auto: Online , the end result of which was getting a golden double revolver as well as some cash. Turns out there is also a way of having that prize carry over into RDR2 , which is a cool little bo


Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka "PlayerUnknown") outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game. Specifically, these include a new car horn feature when driving vehicles, the addition of first-person only servers for the game in Solo and Duo game types for North America and Europe, support for the Xbox One controller, new weapons and character customization options, and much m

A hunt which hasn’t been announced, but has been unlocked by the more savvy GTA Online players, is the quest to get the Stone Hatchet. A brutal looking weapon that, after indulging in a little violence, carries over into the world of R


Still a sore spot amongst PC gamers is the fact that the previous game was only ever out on consoles. People couldn’t understand why Rockstar wouldn’t tap into that vast market, although most people theorize it was due to the incredible difficulties the programmers had coding the g

Pushing past six million copies in the past few weeks, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has dominated the Steam charts throughout this year alongside continued monthly updates, with the game's upcoming August updates to be one of its most expansive


Whether players decide to head in Solo or as part of a Duo or four-player Squad with friends, each game more-or-less starts off in the same fashion as players jettison out of a derelict warplane and parachute onto the abandoned Soviet island that serves as the game's titular battlegrounds, which spans a massive 5x5 miles in size. Ultimately though, players are left to decide where and when to land, whether they want to drop immediately for a chance at grabbing weapons and equipment right away, or a later drop that costs resources but could set up players with a bit of breathing room away from all the ch
