There are many banes to any competitive game's longevity, but none are more annoying than cheaters. In a game where skill and ability should determine outcomes, the presence of aimbots or other cheating devices can seriously ruin the reputation and player base of a multiplayer game. Developers of PUBG are recognizing that fact and have recently released an update to their Steam page regarding their anti-cheating measures, which you can read in full he
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has launched its very first Event Pass, the 30-day Sanhok Event Pass, and players are already incredibly frustrated. The Pass, which grants rewards to PUBG players for leveling up via daily time invested and the completion of challenges, has been shown to demand a level of commitment that can be described as excessive. Further, it may even be impossible to complete without paying for the Premium P
As mentioned, the Event Pass will be exclusive to the PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the time being. Though it's expected to be ported to Xbox One down the line. An alternative version is already available on PUBG Mobile , as the Royale Pass system launched yesterday. The Royale Pass is also a typical Battle Pass, though it rewards Crate Currency whereas the Event Pass appears to be distancing itself from Crates as much as possi
The Battle Pass feature is an increasingly popular alternative to other forms of DLC microtransactions for "Games as a Service" titles. It's not as expensive as splitting DLC up into individual pieces and is not as predatory as Loot Boxes, since there's no RNG.

For most players, however, that risk is more than worth the benef
It's also unclear how this ban will impact Shroud's upcoming appearance on PUBG's Squad Showdown on July 13, an event PUBG Corp is hosting with Twitch Prime in commemoration of Amazon's Prime Day (Twitch is owned by Amazon). Shroud was slated to play in the showdown alongside several other top Twitch streamers, but this temporary ban may put a halt to t
Either way, it's good to see updates regarding anti-cheating measures and justice in the form of a $5.1 million fine. PUBG continues to expand with an AMC Walking Dead partnership , a new map , a new mode and a variety of other updates as it continues to dominate the gaming scene alongside competitor Fortni
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is taking a page from its competitors' playbooks this time around. PUBG DLC Corp. announced on Tuesday the upcoming implementation of a Battle Pass system on PC, a day after implementing a similar-yet-different system on mobile. Rebranded as Event Passes, PUBG 's system will offer new opportunities at in-game content apart from the current Loot Crate system. Event Passes will launch hand-in-hand with the Sanhok map on June
It's unlikely that "a little more wiggle room" will make the grind any less frustrating for players, but in all fairness, the Event Pass is still a new way to earn free content. Not every game offers free paths towards new content but unfortunately for PUBG , its biggest competitors do have battle pass systems . Oh, and not so coincidentally, PUBG Corp. is also selling five levels on the Event Pass for an additional $4
The Los Angeles expo has reined supreme as one of the year’s largest, priciest, and most-watched events for its major gaming industry reveals and teases.
