Greene continued to state that although the red zone serves a purpose, the decision on whether or not to remove it from the game – as with all other in-game features – will ultimately come down to the collaborative efforts between the community and the development t

How did this happen? Surely, you took note of the mini-map that showed your icon embedded within the red transparent circle, and heeded the warning of the on-screen notification stating the red zone would be starting soon. Obviously, you took note of the “Warning! Red zone has started!” message, and took shelter within the nearest building. No? You didn’t try to avoid the red zone at all? It may be time to rethink your strategy; a sentiment shared by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lead designer and director, Brendan Gre

A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti

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

PUBG Mobile has drummed up some controversy for its use of bots for players’ first few games. This seems to have been a tactic to ease players into the mobile battle royale experience, but nevertheless, “winning” fake Chicken Dinners rubbed fans the wrong way. Now, that’s not to say bots, in general, are a bad idea. In fact, it’s easy to see how they could add to the PUBG Walkthrough experience on other platfo

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

For competitive PUBG players, the team is already working on improving the current MMR ranking system and matchmaking. No forward-facing changes appear to be planned, like a reworked leaderboard system or publically-shared MMR, but maintaining a competitive environment is clearly still in PUBG Corps.’ periph

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

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

PUBG Mobile features a lot of smart gameplay tweaks compared to its counterparts that help it feel very natural on mobile devices. But while these changes seem to have been made with the mobile version in mind, they could also be used to improve the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds experience on PC and Xbox One as w

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

Mobile games and controversial real-money loot boxes (that can be traded for real-money value on Steam) have been the focus for PUBG as of late, leaving the door wide open for top competitor, free-to-play Fortnite to become the more popular game, both in player counts and in online streaming servi

There’s more than just two new 2018 maps in the works, though. PUBG Corp. is working on an all-new emote feature, replete with an emote wheel so players can bow, wave, dance, and taunt as necessary mid-game. New vehicles and weapons are in-development, including the FN FAL. And customization options will continue to be added throughout the year, including skins for parachutes and weap
