Over the past few days, I’ve dipped my toes into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds partly out of curiosity and partly because of my friends that have become obsessed with the title. While I’d known about it for some time since its availability in late March, 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 de
Specifically, Greene clarified with the game’s new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd
Still a sore spot amongst PC gamers is the fact that the previous game was only ever out on consoles. People couldn’t understand why Rockstar wouldn’t tap into that vast market, although most people theorize it was due to the incredible difficulties the programmers had coding the g
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
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
Unless you’re a player like me that’s dumped dozen of hours into the game, PUBG ‘s lack of clear explanation as to the mechanics and gameplay secrets might have newcomers going through a few painful first few hours trying to get the hang of it all. And as much as the game’s few maps offer tons of strategy and replayability, some players might find themselves bored at going back to the same map over and over, unlike multiplayer games with a greater map vari
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
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 Among Us New State Mobile crossover 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
Well, after the massive success of Redemption it is safe to say that Rockstar has the time and resources for a much smoother development of RDR2 , which should me it would be much easier to port the code to
A new post on the community forums for PUBG on Steam revealed that a new update will be heading to the game’s PC version, hot on the heels of the recently-released patch for the Xbox One version of the title. Specifically, the new update packs in bug fixes and seeks to address more of the game’s technical performance, while introducing some new cosmetic changes, such as a new design for the energy drink so it looks less like a knockoff Red Bull
I was one of those people for quite some time. Over the course of various preview events, conventions, and on my own time I’ve dabbled with a few different Early Access titles or survival games to varying success. Recent titles of the past few years, like Rust , We Happy Few , or ARK: Survival Evolved , grabbed my attention for a short amount of time thanks to their unique premises or ideas, but ultimately I ended up losing interest from some of the usual quirks of the survival sim genre. Given their love of crafting systems – which I often find unintuitive and confusing – and the need to monitor a series of Hunger/Thirst meters with death usually inches away, I’ve bounced off most of those titles fairly quickly. Survival sims can sometimes be intimidating to newcomers, and as a result that’s sometimes made me reluctant to try t
A large portion of that can be attributed to its incredible popularity with streamers on YouTube and Twitch , but even more of that can be given to the fact that, even in its Early Access state, Battlegrounds is an incredibly-nuanced multiplayer experience worth playing, even if survival/Early Access games aren’t necessarily your thing. Take that recommendation from someone who – prior to Battlegrounds – wasn’t exactly a fan of the rising “survival sim” genre (particularly on Steam) in the slight
