It's nice to see PUBG Mobile 's developers feed some new modes into the game as well as make adjustments and improvements. With a few smart gameplay tweaks compared to the main game, PUBG Mobile quickly became one of the more popular battle royale mobile games at launch. Maybe the main game can even learn a thing or two from its mobile counterp

15 major suspects including "OMG", "FL", "火狐", "须弥" and "炎黄" were arrested for developing hack programs, hosting marketplaces for hack programs, and brokering transactions. Currently the suspects have been fined approximately 30mil RNB ($5.1mil USD). Other suspects related to this case are still being investiga

Developers rightfully urged players not to seek out cheating programs from dubious sources, as they could contain harmful software like this and compromise not only the game's integrity and security but that of the user's computer, compromising personal information like credit card numbers, banking information, passwords and emails. It's really not a hard thing to do, so readers, please always be wary of the things you download...and also don't cheat. That's

Several weeks ago, Bluehole Studio officially put out a fresh Event Pass feature to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , but due to a lot of bugs, extended maintenance periods, and general instability, not every PUBG fan has been able to fully use the limited-time feature. With this being the case, the video game developer has decided to announce a bonus XP event as an apology of sorts to those who haven't been able to get their fill of the Event Pass due to errors on behalf of the stu

For those who have been out of the loop with the latest on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , the Event Pass was originally meant to be a way for players to track progress made in-game – in a similar vein to Fortnite 's Battle Pass – and earn exclusive loot outside of the standard crate system. While it's unfortunate that the feature is not working the way Bluehole Studio intended, at least the developer is offering additional XP for players' troubles. Those interested can find the company's details for PUBG 's bonus XP event be

As Fornite has grabbed headlines over the past few weeks with comet strikes and a dancing Thanos , it has sometimes been easy to forget that PUBG exists if you were to just follow the buzz. Keen to grab the limelight once more and taking yet another page from its rival, the grittier shooter is playing Fornite at its own game as PC users test out a new map with a hidden sec

Either way, it's good to see updates regarding anti-cheating measures and justice in the form of a $5.1 million fine. PUBG continues to expand with an AMC Walking Dead partnership , a new map , a new mode and a variety of other updates as it continues to dominate the gaming scene alongside competitor Fortni

Taking all of this into account, it will be interesting to see if Bluehole Studio will be able to successfully implement a permanent Event Pass for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds thanks to the data and feedback it received during its initial limited-time launch. If it does get incorporated correctly down the line, the feature could give PUBG Skins a better shot at expanding its current 400 million-plus player ba

According to a recent post on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' official Steam page, Bluehole Studio made sure to acknowledge its failings during the Event Pass' availability by referring to all of the problems it encountered, and promised that "these issues will all be taken into consideration during future content planning." The developer went on to thank players for their patience while working out the issues with the new system, and went on to announce the bonus XP event, saying, "But thanking you for your feedback and promising to improve in the future doesn’t help you finish your current pass, so we’ve decided to run an event to help players scrape out a few more levels before the Event Pass ends on 7/

While it might seem odd to celebrate such a monumental sales figure by reducing the price on Steam, it makes sense when looking at those 400 million downloads. Although 50 million copies have been bought for Windows PC and Xbox, that means the other 350 million were downloaded for free on either Android or

Either way, players can't interact with the chests (yet), meaning the latest addition is nothing more than a golden easter egg right now. It is likely that the chests will eventually open to reveal something big, but on the other hand, Bluehole could simply be trolling gamers as a nod to Fortnite 's treasure chests. It may be a way to bury the hatchet between the two studios, but it would undoubtedly leave players miffed that the chests turn out to be a Pulp Fiction -style McGuf

With the arrival of Fornite season 4, developers at Epic Games showed exactly how to use viral marketing to its full advantage. While PUBG isn't quite taking that tact just yet they did introduce weekly events in recent weeks to keep up with Fortnite alongside a major update. Now, players are sharing images of shiny crates discovered on the new Sanhok map (the third and smallest of PUBG's environments). FastClicker1 seems to be the first to party, sharing the image of the golden chest lurking in plain si
