With Fortnite eschewing loot boxes entirely in its Battle Royale mode (although individual seasons offer their own unique cosmetics, similar to Overwatch ), it’s already ahead of the curve. Perhaps by the time Sanhok arrives, the wait for for a more stable game will seem like it was worth it. However, with a never-ending stream of cosmetics and constant reminders for microtransactions blemishing player inventory, all while many of them experience blatant performance issues, PUBG Corp. should keep running — that blue wall might be closer than it lo

PUBG Corp also recently provided some insight about its plans for the game's Savage map, saying "we have months of work left to do," but describing the map's defining feature: an underground cave system. Unfortunately, players will have to wait a little bit longer to see this map in action, as it won't be hitting the game in this upd

PlayerUnknown may have only recently started thinking about his next game, but he also told fans not to expect it too soon since there's still plenty he wants to do with PUBG news . Not only does he plan to continuing improving the popular multiplayer shooter - PUBG 's developers admitted to failing players recently - but he plans on making sure it becomes an eSports staple. Greene talked about the importance of hiring former Riot Games chief marketing officer Jung Hyun Kwon, and hopes to replicate the success of League of Legends in the Korean market, which makes sense now that games like H1Z1 are attempting to push Battle Royales into the eSports ar

Players will also find they have two new scopes to choose from: the 3x, which is a common drop, and the 6x, which is rare. The patch lets players change the reticle style (circle, crosshair, etc.) and its color on some sco

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

Over the past year or so, it's become clear that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been a huge influence on gaming in general, with its 100-player Battle Royale mechanic leading to games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's Battle Royale modes. With the recent release of PUBG 's mobile version, the title is even managing to keep some semblance of pace with Fortnite , which eventually blasted past it in terms of Twitch presence on a platform formerly dominated by PUBG 's biggest streamers - but they are looking to change that going forw

Sanhok started out life as a shrunken 4x4 map codenamed "Savage." Scaling back from the usual 8x8 size of original map Erangel and the desert-based Miramar, players have been enjoying the confined spaces and challenge of a smaller and more fast-paced locale. Although Sanhok isn't live yet in the main game, PUBG has been slowly opening up more of its secrets with each PC test period. As well as adding more detail and buildings with each update, fans have noticed more important changes - just like the golden chests. Whatever these chests are will continue being a secret for now, but everyone is praying that it is something more interesting than just another loot box debacle . PUBG is one of the major games still doing random pay-for loot boxes and it's one of the reasons Fortnite is going to continue killing

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

PUBG_Riggles gets to the heart of the matter, even admitting that the constant faucet of new crates and cosmetics releasing while game-breaking bugs remain unattended to is a terrible look. It sounds like PUBG Corp. is indeed building out its development team to tend to these pressing matters, but he also insists that the crates aren’t going anywhere, as they remain central to the continued monetization of the game. While this might not be what many players want to hear, the honesty coming from PUBG Corp. is, at least, somewhat refresh

I am dreading my next game, because it’s PlayerUnknown’s Next Game . And there’s going to be eyes on it. No matter what I do, there’s going to be a lot of critics going, 'Well, it’s no PUBG.' And I’ve accepted that – I am not going to make a game that’s going to get like, three million concurrent users, and tens of millions of players every month. But I’m not aiming to make that. I want to make a game I want to play, and if other people want to play it, that’s fantastic – but ultimately, if they don’t, I’ll still have a game that I can play. So that’s my outlook: I’m probably going to get sh*t on, but that’s o
