Since then however, a team of its devs went to Thailand for some inspiration and are taking player feedback, their own ideas, and things they see into consideration for evolving this new map. That’s the main benefit of getting Savage playable super early before it’s really built

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

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 Vehicles 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

Not all content will be entirely new; much of what’s planned for 2018 will be reworked content currently in the game, some of which has been long-requested by the PUBG player base. Of special interest are reworked parachuting and unarmed melee combat systems, both of which have been heavily criticized. Even larger is an overhaul of the entire Third Person and First Person mode animation system to increase smoothness and reactiveness, including new animations for switching car seats or entering a vehi

Besides automatically looting and equipping upgrades, PUBG Mobile improves the looting process in another key way. Whenever a player is killed in PUBG , their body disappears and is replaced by a brown box that holds all their gear. Thanks to the game’s color scheme, it can sometimes be very difficult to find these boxes, but PUBG Mobile makes it easier by marking them with glowing green lig

While the lawsuit is one to watch given that it could have significant implications regarding other PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds clones, this isn’t the only reason why people are talking about it. In an excerpt of the lawsuit, PUBG Corp. also admits that the game’s cosmetics affect gameplay. The quote from the developer re

“Clothing does affect gameplay in terms of camouflage. Clothing can be used to assist the player to blend in with the environment, making the player less visually detectable. In particular, Battlegrounds includes a Ghillie suit, a full body suit covered with camouflaging material typically used by snipers. The Ghillie suit allows the player to become nearly visually invisible depending upon the terra

Last week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corp. launched a potentially industry-shaking lawsuit against NetEase , the creator of several battle royale mobile clones. The company accused NetEase, the Chinese publisher behind battle royale games such as Rules of Survival and Knives Out , of violating copyright and trademarks it holds PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroun

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

More importantly though, PUBG is finally getting a map selection, easily the most requested feature ever since the PC version got the Miramar map. The Xbox One version currently only has the original Erangel map but is getting Miramar next month. Details on how the map selector works and why it took so long can be found here . It’s still being developed but is nearly complete so there’s no time frame

One thing players are always doing in PUBG is looting, and PUBG Mobile makes the process much smoother by, once again, streamlining it. PUBG Mobile has an automatic looting feature that will instantly pick up any upgrades in the nearby area, assuming players are close enough to them. This means that players with a level 1 backpack will automatically pick up a level 2 backpack, or swap out their weaker helmet for a stronger

As the company behind WeChat, Tencent bought the mobile rights to PUBG last year and had been rolling it out in China. However, the latest release marks the game’s iPhone release outside of China and the Android release outside of a tested version that recently launched in Can

PUBG Mobile translates the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds experience to mobile devices so well by streamlining a lot of things from the main game. This includes sprinting, as PUBG Mobile allows players to sprint automatically and indefinitely in whatever direction they desire. This may not seem like a big deal to someone who doesn’t play a lot of PUBG , but anyone who regularly plays the game can attest that a lot of time is spent running. This can be tedious, so it would be nice to have an automatic sprint option so perhaps players can do something else when those kinds of situations ar
