Admittedly, with some slightly blurry graphics, PUBG is far from perfect, but when scaled down to a smaller screen, it is hard to really notice the downgrade in quality. Although PUBG mobile suggests iPhone 6 or higher, it is still backward compatible with an iPhone 5 providing that iOS 9 is installed. It is another 1-up on Fortnite , which will only work with Apple models beyond a 6S. According to the Google Play store, PUBG will run on over 500 Android devices as long as they are using Android 5.1.1 Lollipop or later and have at least 2 GB of
Meanwhile, competitor Epic Games is touting more new modes, another new season of content and a mobile version of Fortnite which will support cross-play with PC and PS4 versions of the game. It’s that rapid development, lack of loot box gambling, lack of hackers, and great communication with the community that’s helping Fornite takeover PU
Imagine yourself on the streets Los Leones, the largest city within the desert map of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds . You’re rifling through the weathered, abandoned buildings, collecting precious loot in hopes of coming across the ever-elusive level three-helmet or 8x scope – when all of a sudden, explosions begin randomly crashing down around you. Before you can do anything, a final blow takes you out, promptly ending your quest for a chicken dinner. It’s then that you realize: you were in the red z
In a very long post which didn’t reveal much in terms of specifics, Greene unveiled the “PUBG 2018 Roadmap” which included hints of new modes, new vehicles, new weapons, and even emotes – something popular in Fortnite and other live-service games like Desti
Today’s 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is hopefully everything players have been hoping to hear for some time. Certain topics commonly discussed by the community may have been absent from the roadmap, like balance and crates, but those were likely beyond the scope of the roadmap. Also at issue is the lack of a more specific release schedule, perhaps betraying PUBG Corp.’s lack of dedication to these pl
Loot boxes! More loot boxes ! Locked loot boxes! Selling loot boxes! Cheating for loot boxes! This has been the story of **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** for a few months since developer PUBG Corp (a division of Bluehole) has slowed down on making their flagship game bet
Unfortunately, Greene wouldn’t say anything regarding actual details, nor would he reveal any of the new weapons, potential modes or vehicles coming to the game. The update didn’t talk about the Xbox version of the game or loot boxes either, but it did offer some examples of aesthetic changes coming to existing assets – improving the look and level of detail on buildings. The biggest reveal however (the only real reveal) is that of a smaller, 4x4km island map designed to offer players a quicker battle royale experie
Outside of direct gameplay changes, PUBG Corp. is still hard at work. In-game achievements and a friends list, as well as squad voice chat, are each going to be added in 2018. And server stability, connection speeds, and dealing with cheaters remains the studio’s first priority in 2
The popular Battle Royale game (loosely based on the 2000 movie) is an online multiplayer that parachutes 100 intrepid games onto an island in a last man standing situation. Scavenging weapons and taking out opponents one-by-one, the island’s safe zone decreases as the number of players dwindles until only one person is left victorious. First released on Stream’s early access in early 2017, PUBG got a full release by Microsoft in December and grabbed headlines ever si
The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds creator revealed as much to US Gamer during the 2018 Game Developers Conference, with Greene stating, “I mean, everyone that [suggests] region locking [is forgetting about] VPN. It just doesn’t work.” Greene then went on to point out that the recently implemented ping-based matchmaking, which only pairs players with those who have the same or similar ping, has improved the experience for m
Finally, PUBG Corp. dedicated itself to a routine schedule for major patches in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds . From here on, major patches are planned to be released on a 2-month schedule, with the first such patch planned for March. Smaller patches and hotfixes will continue to be released as needed, especially as the Experimental Test Server grows in
Content is king, so it should be no surprise that planned additions to the game were the most prominent part of the PUBG DLC roadmap. First up is a brand new 4×4 kilometer map, a quarter of the size of Erangel and Miramar, designed for faster, action-packed rounds. This small map will come to a new Experimental Test Server in April, but a second, standard-sized 8×8 map is also in development for a 2018 release, but is not yet ready to be sh
Considering the fact that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Steam sales have made it the third-highest grossing game on Valve’s digital distribution platform, it’s safe to say that the battle royale title is a bona fide success. Of course, many would still argue that the game suffers from a litany of issues, with one ever-present complaint from lots of fans being about how Chinese cheaters are making PUBG matches unfair. This has led to plenty of calls for PUBG Corp. to “region lock China,” but its creator Brendan Greene disagrees that it’s a viable solution to the prob
