Rigney explained that the team had to rely on store-bought assets at first, as that was the only way to create the game fast and find what made it fun. It wouldn’t make sense, Rigney claims, to start with an art team of 40 people to create assets for a game before the development team even knows if the concept is going to be fun or

“We’re genuinely humbled by PUBG’s ongoing success and growth, and we’re incredibly optimistic about the game’s future. We’re going to keep working on new content and improvements for all versions of the game. We know there’s still so much we can do to make PUBG a better game for our playe

It’s nice to see PUBG Mobile ‘s developers feed some new modes into the game as well as make adjustments and improvements. With a few smart gameplay tweaks compared to the main game, PUBG Mobile quickly became one of the more popular battle royale mobile games at launch.

For the uninitiated, an “asset flip” (a term coined by YouTube personality Jim Sterling) is when a game is made primarily of pre-made assets, as opposed to original artwork or designs. However, some PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developers have pushed back against the notion that the game is an asset flip, including PUBG Maps creator Brendan Greene and more recently, PUBG Corp. communications lead Ryan Rigney, who spoke about the issue on Red

The developers have also added a Training Grounds mode to PUBG Mobile . The Training Grounds mode is only available for solo players, allowing them to practice with weapons and items on their own before jumping into a match with oth

Rigney acknowledges that the Erangel map, PUBG ‘s first map, is a combination of store-bought assets and in-house content. He then said that the Miramar desert map was also built with a combination of in-house content and store-bought assets, though it used less pre-made assets than Erangel. “As our in-house art teams built Miramar, they began to rely less on store-bought assets, although they continued to use them strategically, because it just doesn’t make sense to build everything in the game world yourse

Despite these worrying numbers, PUBG is still an incredibly popular game. In fact, it’s still the most played game on Steam by far, and its concurrent numbers beat out all other titles on Valve’s gaming platform. While stressing that PUBG is far from dead, Bluehole has to be worried about losing such a drastic amount of players in a short amount of time.

One of the new features hitting the mobile version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is Arcade, which is a 28-player mode that can be played solo or with friends. Each match randomly selects one of six possible variations, adding a bit of a twist on the gameplay.
