PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8×8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4’s capabilit
For those that don’t know much about the title and/or have lived under a rock in the past few months, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is an Early Access survival shooter that pits 100 players against each other in typical survival game/ Battle Royale fashion, developed by Korean studio Bluehole and Brandon Greene, the titular “PlayerUnkno
Since it debuted on Early Access last March and finally launched last month, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has shown little signs of slowing down with regular new updates and content being added, with PC players getting a new update on the hori
Even though I’ve only put a few hours into Battlegrounds at this point since jumping in, I can already see it as a title that I’ll more than likely come back to in the coming months. With rounds that usually extend for me around 20-30 minutes (if I don’t get killed right from the get-go), the game has drawn in me like few others ever have, much less any type of survival sim or Early Access game before it, and most of that comes down to its incredibly streamlined sense of survival at play, and how it draws players together in a fight to the finish. To say Battlegrounds is exhilarating is an understatement: even in its earliest state right now, I’ve kept coming back to the game night after night because it’s gotten my blood pumping like few other games have in the past few ye
Nuevo Paraiso, the explorable Mexican territory from the previous game, is a fan favorite. It’s slightly more violent, the characters are more morally ambiguous, and the gambling seemed to be more
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
Each match in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has a similar sense of rhythm and cadence — you jump from the plane, you try to survive the initial bloodbath of players dropping onto the island, you collect as many weapons, supplies, and upgrades as you can, and then try to work your way towards the final circle and eliminate the last remaining players. However, getting to that final point is not only difficult (most of the time), but thanks to the game’s randomized elements like where the plane dispatches, weapon drops, and the ever-shrinking circle location, it keeps players on their toes and ensures that no match plays out in the same
[pullquote]The noise surrounding Battlegrounds has only grown over the past three months, especially considering the fact that it has sold over 4 million copies alone since its Early Access debut.[/pullqu
Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl
With a name that strikes somewhere between wonderfully-bizarre and generically “video gamey,” the indie hit sensation PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (aka PUBG ) has proven to be anything but generic in the past few months, where it went from being a relatively unknown title to one of the year’s biggest breakout succes
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 Battlefield 6 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
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
