Of course, it isn't hard to see why PUBG Corp. and Bluehole are concerned about Fortnite . In the time since its battle-royal mode launched, the game has seen a surge in popularity among both content creators and casual games. The game has seen such success that not only has it beaten the record for most concurrent players previously held by PUBG but it is also now reported to make more money than it
Update 12 also brings a range of new weapon attachments, each with its own pros and cons. Shotguns get the Duckbill, while assault rifles, SMGs, and DMRs get the Light Grip, Thumb Grip, and the Half G
It's important to remember now that regardless of how successful PUBG Corp. and Bluehole are, new battle-royal titles are appearing at a faster and faster rate. The main example of this is coming later this year with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , which is set to feature a battle-royal mode called Blackout and is sure to also cut into other games player bases. The point is that there is no stopping the tide and most fans just want all these games to live together in harmony. Is that too much to
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
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' next big update, Patch 12 , will be arriving on live servers on PC soon. The patch will go live Thursday after four hours of maintenance that will start at 7:00 p.m. on May 2. The update will also reset the leaderboards and the new season will begin when maintenance e
The patch is among the game's biggest updates, bringing a weapon balance overhaul and map selection to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . The update also adds a new muscle car to Miramar, and a new 7.62 DMR called the SLR. The new vehicle is exclusive to the Miramar map and can be found in downtown areas and on main city stre
The video and subsequent response from PUBG has left fans split over whether their frustration should be directed at the brevity of the ban or the underlying problem the game has with cheaters. Hackers frequently appear in matches, messing with actual players in order to advertise their work. The game’s anti-cheat system, BattlEye, announced back in February that they had banned over 1 million players, yet the problem persists. Towards the end of the clip, Grzesiek appeared to address the issue. "It really goes to show that PUBG, full offense to you guys, don’t give a s*** because that guy should have been banned immediately." He doesn't appear to notice the ir
When Epic Games announced the addition of a free to play battle-royal mode to their then burgeoning title Fortnite , comparisons to Player Unknown's Battlegrounds quickly began to emerge. Since then, the shooter builder survival hybrid has become Battleground's biggest competitor and now it seems the rivalry has gone to new heights, with PUBG Corp. taking Epic Games to court over the two games similarit
According to Kotaku , Grzesiek has been given a month long ban due to a clip where he and fellow streamer Wadu were joined by a hacker. In the circulating video, the hacker sends cars flying around them, creating barriers, later using one of the cars to carry the duo to the next playzone. Grzesiek scores a kill after being alerted to another player hiding in a nearby house. At one point, he states "I’m getting banned," not that the possibility appears to put a damper on his m
While it might seem odd to celebrate such a monumental sales figure by reducing the price on Steam, it makes sense when looking at those 400 million downloads. Although 50 million copies have been bought for Windows PC and Xbox, that means the other 350 million were downloaded for free on either Android or
"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
Because we’re steadily investing more and more in building our internal art teams (along with lots of other teams), Miramar used fewer external assets than Erangel, and Sanhok used fewer still. Our fourth map, the one coming out this winter, uses fewer still, but if we’re smart it’ll almost certainly still involve some mix of assets from different sources. This is a good th
Dubbed a progression-based system with unlockables, a second Steam announcement revealed that PUBG 's event pass will also launch on June 22. There will be daily, weekly, and Sanhok-based missions to lure players to pubg beginner Guide . While it sounds like a great idea, there are some major drawbacks. PUBG 's pass must be bought with real-world money ($9.99) and will only last for four weeks instead of the whole season. The event pass will have free and premium options, but those who choose the free options will only be able to temporarily unlock new it
