The latest and greatest gaming feud, Bluehole Studios’ PUBG and Epic Games’ Fortnite , is taking on a new level of competition. The PUBG development team laid out their plans for 2018 and it looks like they are trying to copy some of the more successful elements of what Fortnite brings to the increasingly-competitive battle roy

News comes from the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds development blog , where the studio was hoping to clear the air and create a prioritization list for the community. The most notable change in the works is a brand new island map that is set to be only 4x4km — likely the biggest play towards the Fortnite audience. This new map will be available on PUBG ‘s experimental test server starting next mo

“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

PUBG Corp further illustrated their plans for the cave by sharing some concept art along with a diagram which outlines its key geographic features and exit routes. The developer didn’t give a specific release date for this addition, saying only that it could show up sometime within “the next couple of testing cycl

Of course, not everything on the roadmap is targeting the Fortnite audiences and much of the upcoming plans are simple tweaks and polishing of what PUBG does best. Improving on the graphics, the art team is reportedly working on all around improvements to make the game more aesthetically pleasing. For instance, check out the new art direction on buildi

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

There’s no doubt that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the most well-known games on the market today, as its introduction to the masses rejuvenated an interest in the battle royale genre as a whole, which gave rise to other famous competitors such as Epic Games’ Fortnite Battle Royale . With so many folks still vying for yet another Chicken Dinner in PUBG , it’s great to see that the developers remain dedicated in making the game run as smoothly as possible with updates like Patch

Earlier this week, the developer finally gave players on the game’s test servers the ability to choose their own maps . PUBG Corp plans to implement this change in the main game soon, and it’s not the only addition the game’s maps will be seeing this y

Some of the PUBG updates team recently took a trip to South East Asia in order to draw inspiration from its unique geography. One location in particular, the Phraya Nakhon cave near Bankok, Thailand, will be serving as the primary inspiration for the cave system being implemented into the map. As seen in the image above, the cave looks like a giant hole in the gro

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

As people have been quick to note, the Ghillie suit is available to all PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players for free. Many players also rush to find it in pockets of loot across the map because of its effectiveness and so the suggestion that the Ghillie suit is a useful cosmetic is not necessarily news. But this section of the lawsuit does raise a larger question about how cosmetic loot can affect gameplay even if it doesn’t provide any discernible buffs to attributes and st

Dubbed “Patch 11”, the latest update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One’s most noticable change comes in the form of a refinement to the inventory UI that adds new focal points so that players can navigate menus much more quickly and change their loadouts more efficiently. What’s more is that Patch 11 updates the button guide and tooltips in order to better direct players in PU

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
