Tencent didn’t reveal which mobile platforms it’s bringing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to, though one has to imagine that both Android and iOS devices will be represented. Tencent also didn’t reveal how PUBG would be altered for it to work on a mobile platform, but fans should expect more details on that front in the coming months. While Tencent was light on details when it comes to its PUBG mobile port, it did confirm that this version of the game would be released in China fi

Finally, the patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds also adds analog stick acceleration when jumping out of the plane and while parachuting. For many, the experience had previously felt painful to experience due to issues with the Xbox One version’s performance , and the fact that using the sticks didn’t offer any way to speed up and get to the ground faster than the competition. For a complete list of the patch’s contents, check out the rundown toward the end of the arti

Assuming the mobile port of PUBG is a success, the game will become a true powerhouse and has potential to break video game sales records. Alternatively, Tencent may opt to ditch PUBG ‘s initial asking price and make a profit using the game’s loot box system and microtransactions. Either way, it’s hard to see how a mobile version of PUBG won’t be a big moneymaker for everyone invol

Also, if it had been called “Paladins: Battle Royale” as originally intended, would we be having this same conversation, but with Fortnite: Battle Royale as the “victim?” Regardless, Chisam believes that “Battleground” should refer to a style of game, and that it shouldn’t be trademar

This isn’t the first time that High Rez has been accused of ripping off popular game genres, either. Back when the game was first released, many claimed that it was a direct Overwatch rip-off , and there was even discussion of whether Blizzard could sue over how blatant it was. Similarly to the current situation, COO Todd Harris had to come out and defend Paladins , claiming that it wasn’t a cl

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

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

However, the developers of PUBG have been known to defend their territory in the past, taking issue with Fortnite borrowing too heavily from their gameplay . The name is one thing, but if gameplay is the discussion, Paladins: Battlegrounds should have nothing to worry about, as it seems to set itself far apart from its competitors. As a hero shooter, the normal 100 players in battle royale will have special powers and abilities that give them unique advantages. As the first game to mix the two, this game seems to build its own category rather than fit in with its predecess

Specifically, the studio explained that “we wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests” from the original map, and instead turned to making Miramar into a “harsh and unforgiving desert.” The studio also explained that when it comes to the approach for players this time around, “old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required” when it comes to surviving the Battle Roy

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

If this project sees success, will we start to see other hero shooters like Overwatch attempt a battle royale mode, or as Chisam says, “battleground” style modes to compete with Paladins ? Maybe a year from now we will see an “Overwatch: Battlegrounds” and have the discussion of whether they are stealing from Paladi

A handful of bug fixes came with the update, including the elimination of the flame animation that would occur in the plane when a player was on fire from being struck by a molotov cocktail. This change means players will no longer see a trail of fire shooting out from the back of the plane. Find the full patch notes be

On top of the mobile game and the landmark PC release, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is also scheduled to make its console debut sooner rather than later. As announced at E3 earlier this year, PUBG crafting Guide is releasing in early access as an Xbox One console exclusive on December 12th. Out of all the versions of the game, it will be interesting to see which one becomes the most popular when it’s all said and d
