With the fall lineup of Triple-A games finally about to hit retail, including this week's Destiny 2 and the long overdue major expansion and update to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege today, soon to be joined by Star Wars: Battlefront II , Call of Duty: WWII , Assassin's Creed: Origins , and Far Cry 5 , there could be some competitors nipping at pubg strategy's player counts. To combat that however, PUBG will be available on Xbox One this holiday season as a console launch exclusive to coincide with the Xbox One X release , before the game releases in full early next y
While this will certainly be frustrating news for some, the change isn't without reason. Developers chose to decrease spawn rates on the island in order to adjust the balance on the Northeast side of Erangel and attempt to level out gameplay. Some PUBG players would jump out of the plane and locate a boat, and then immediately head to the island in the Northeast corner of the map. Reportedly, the loot on the island would alter the loot table in surrounding areas. Players would then collect enough healing items, weapons, and protective gear to hop back into the action on the main island with the blue wall as their only real threat. This tweak fixes t
Bluehole seems to have an especially broad demographic in mind with Ascent: Infinite Realm . The trailer practically shouts that there's something here for everyone: Dragons to hunt, flying aircrafts to pilot (and destroy), properties and communities to build, and more. It'll be up to Bluehole, though, to ensure that it doesn't spread itself too thin; that each element is sufficiently fleshed-out to warrant the repeated revisiting that maintains successful online games. Lightning struck once with PUBG — it remains to be seen whether it'll strike ag
The ability to expand field of view should be helpful for players who felt the standard first-person view was too narrow. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is already competitive, but the extra degree of immersion and risk that comes with the first-person mode may make it more competitive. And the FOV options should satisfy serious FPS players who are used to this tool in other competitive shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Overwat
This tool isn't all Battlegrounds needs to work well as a first-person shooter, though. Players have noted some scaling issues that aren't apparent in third-person but stand out in first-person. For instance, windows and some vehicles can be too high for a standing player to see through or over while in first-person, while being a good height for the third-person camera. Sometimes shots in first-person hit walls when players aim just above those walls. For the first-person mode in Battlegrounds to work, these bugs will need addressing alongside the addition of the FOV slider, and it's not clear from PlayerUnknown's Tweet what steps have been taken for these fi
But that’s the thing about The Game Awards – it’s the only award show we have. While it has it’s many flaws, there’s a germ of a great idea there. Celebrating great games, and the people who make and play them, what’s wrong with t
At the moment, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' FPP mode is only available to be played solo on Xbox One, with group servers likely to be added at some point in the future. As of now, FPP servers for the console version of PUBG will be deployed in North America, Europe, and Ocea
PUBG also just set another record on that front hitting peak concurrent users (e.g. CCU) with over 970,000. The other part of the title's recent accolades is Germany's Gamescom 2017 event last week which hosted the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Invitational which drew even more attention to the battle royale shooter, and featured many of the most popular stream
This patch is the final live update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds until version 1.0 is unveiled later this year alongside the Xbox Game Preview build for the Xbox One console. Bluehole does, however, have test servers for vaulting, climbing, and a new desert map planned as the game's two million players wait for the title to launch in f
A trailer for the game - seen above - clocks in at over five minutes — and shows off quite a bit. There are indeed airships and dragons, along with jetpack-like boosters, gatling guns, mechs, and estate-building. At various points throughout the trailer, players can be seen taking control of airships, be it as pilots or turret gunners. The website suggests that PvP airship combat will be a staple of the game, explaining that "Using airships, flying mounts, or free falling, you can experience multi-dimensional battles through warfare in the open s
**PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** just hit the 8 million units old mark two weeks ago and already it's at 10 million. The extra momentum push in sales is in part due to the game's continued popularity as the most popular shooter broadcasted and viewed on streaming services like Twich.tv and as the game has topped the charts as the most played game on Valve's Steam platform, beating out Valve's own Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensi
