The newest patch spent just a day on test servers before going live earlier today, and fans quickly noticed that amongst the smaller issues it addresses, the update decreases item spawn levels on the starting island. This refers to live rounds of actual gameplay and not the opening lobby where players can grab weapons like the Groza or the 9 mm VSS sniper rifle and various tools before boarding the pl

As one might expect, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ latest patch on Xbox One not only incorporates the long-awaited First Person Perspective mode, but it also improves client and server performance, while also bringing fixes to crashes. Naturally, these are incredibly important refinements to be made, but the FPP mode will be the main draw for many fans of PU

Chumacera is the husk of Miramar’s once thriving textile industry. Long abandoned factories overlook a main road lined with residential and commercial buildings. Verticality in both the buildings and terrain make this town an exciting location to loot- high risk, high opportun

While the studio doesn’t want to spoil all of the surprises that the new map will have in store, PUBG Corps did provide a brief series of descriptions of the map’s key areas and landmarks, which you can find be

Since Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn’t require any money up front, it immediately brings up some concern over whether or not it will be “pay to win.” However, Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions that allow players to buy better guns than their opponents. As detailed in a blog post on Epic’s official website, paid items are planned to be “cosmetics or compendium-like content.” Also, those who purchased Fortnite between September 12-19 are eligible to receive a refund, since Battle Royale was originally announced as part of the main g

PUBG cheats , a game that still technically hasn’t released, has broken several records on Steam . Most recently, PUBG broke Dota 2’s record for the most concurrent players for a single game on Steam at 1,348,374. However, it has not reached consoles and is not planning to until it releases on Xbox One later this year. Fortnite: Battle Royale releasing in less than a week means that is the only game of this style (outside of a new mode in GTA Online ) for those without a

It is a smart move by Epic Games to release Fortnite: Battle Royale before PUBG can get to consoles. It gives console owners the ability to play a battle royale game for free, and since the original Fortnite has received a pretty positive reception, fans familiar with the franchise name will be more willing to pick it

Without a doubt, one of the most popular features to be incorporated into the PC version of Bluehole Studio’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the addition of a first-person mode , as it brought about a new layer of immersion into the game. Now, fans on Xbox One will be able to take part in the title’s First Person Perspective (FPP) mode thanks to a brand new patch from the develo

But that’s the thing about The Game Awards – it’s the only award show we have. While it has it’s many flaws, there’s a germ of a great idea there. Celebrating great games, and the people who make and play them, what’s wrong with t

The Game Awards 2017 can be viewed live on your phone, TV, or computer. The Game Awards is one of the widest distributed digital events on the planet – filmed in 4K UHD resolution and watchable for free across all major digital, gaming and social platforms. Featuring loads of world premieres and celebrity guests, this isn’t something you’ll want to m

As has been the case every year with The Game Awards, there’s been plenty of dissent and mocking on various social media platforms. Kurt Margenau, developer at Naughty Dog and co-direction on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (which itself is up for three awards) took to Twitter to lament the need for the Most Anticipated Game category, specifically The Last of Us Part II ’s nomination. Others have complained about certain games not getting a nomination, such as Yakuza 0, which has been shut out of the Awards complet

Margenau’s right, voting for the game won’t make it come any faster. What’s the point of that category anyway? A more accurate name may be “Upcoming Game with the Best Marketing.” Red Dead Redemption II is on there and all we’ve seen of it is a single teaser trailer. But you could make a similar argument for every category. Does anyone know what the qualifications are for Trending Gamer? The Best Esports Game category doesn’t contain a single game released in the year 2017, and speaking of eSports, there isn’t a single female nomination for Best Esports Player, Presented by Omen and

The Game Awards ‘ 2017 nominees are exactly the games you’d expect. Horizon Zero Dawn has the most nominations, up for Game of the Year, Best Game Design, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, and lead voice actress Ashly Burch has been nominated for Best Performance. Other candidates for Game of the Year are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , Super Mario Odyssey , Persona 5 , and most controversially, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , a game still in Early Acc
