Microsoft X018: Here Are the Six Biggest Announcements

Specifically, that includes a number of tweaks to some of the game's weapons and items, while also introducing some new items like the SLR rifle, and the Mirado muscle car. For a closer look at what the update offers, you can check out the full patch notes be


PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds shocked the video game world back in early 2017. Its creative take on the typical multiplayer shooter paved the way for the future of online action games. Fortnite has raked in the dough by branching off of the playstyle of pubg Weapons . Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V will both include a battle royal mode tailored toward those series. However, despite it being a year and a half after the game initially took off, there still hasn't been a game that can replicate the experience that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds provi


Developer PUBG Corps has released patch notes for the latest update of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PC, with update #8 incorporating several notable changes, with the biggest being a brand new weapons skins system that allows players to customize their guns, and the introduction of two new Crates with new cosmetic it


Another mechanic the game tries to hammer home to you that isn't as important as it seems is dialogue choices. You can greet people and it will raise your honor, which is useful if you want to get discounts in shops. That's about


Microsoft just held their Inside Xbox: X018 Special, which was home to a wide variety of interesting announcements regarding upcoming lineup of games, DLC, and updates. That being said, six specific announcements stood out from the pack, so I wanted to highlight them here for those of you that may have missed this latest Inside Xbox Livestr

Scope 3x - This scope has fixed 3x magnification with an illuminated reticle. It’s discoverable as a common world-drop


If you just don't want to use the companion app for your map, there is an easier way to access it. Again, the menus are a pain to navigate. Normally what it seems you have to do is hit the Options button on PS4, then select the map, and there you go. It was needlessly complicated. Well, I eventually found out that you can simply hold down Option and it'll bring it right up. That's another oops on my p


Comparing this to PUBG is almost like a night and day difference. You must always be on your toes. One bad decision could cost you and your squad the match. Whether it is how you ransack a set of buildings, or how you make your approach toward the circle, battlegrounds will always reward the squad that communicates and puts some careful thought into their playst


In addition to the new map, the patch itself also covers a lot of other ground as far as new items, features, and updates. Specifically, the update includes a new weapon exclusive to the Sanhok map in the QBZ95, a new assault rifle that is meant to take the place of the SCA


Previously, grenade damage was greatly dependant on fall damage (from the grenade’s knockback effect) rather than explosion. We’ve removed the grenade’s knockback effect for player characters, and have adjusted it so that only explosion damage is applied when you’re struck by a gren


Over on the game's Steam Community page, PUBG Corps revealed the patch notes for the upcoming Update #12 for the game's PC version, which promises a hefty number of balance changes and more. The patch itself will be available later today after scheduled server maintenance at 7pm PT, while a new ranked season for the game will also be commencing to


PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds isn’t the best-made game in the world, visually. It also doesn’t run particularly well -- a fact that developers made light of in their recent Inside Xbox Live at Gamescom showcase. We are eight months past the official release of Version 1.0, and the battle royale game is still riddled with bugs on PC; that's not even mentioning the Xbox One version, which is finally coming out of Early Access . In fact, PUBG Corporation, the developers behind the game, literally created a website entitled fix.pubg.com that outlines their roadmap for updates that will better optimize the performance of the title. There are a lot of unignorable issues that understandably drive players a


Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what PUBG got so right the first time aro
