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

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_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

According to the announcement from PUBG Corp., all content earned through the Event Pass can't be traded or sold. It's unclear if the Event Pass will tie into the Crate system at all, either by rewarding Crates, Keys, or currency, but it wouldn't be surprising if it

Dubbed a progression-based system with unlockables, a second Steam announcement revealed that PUBG 's event pass will also launch on June 22. There will be daily, weekly, and Sanhok-based missions to lure players to PUBG . While it sounds like a great idea, there are some major drawbacks. PUBG 's pass must be bought with real-world money ($9.99) and will only last for four weeks instead of the whole season. The event pass will have free and premium options, but those who choose the free options will only be able to temporarily unlock new it

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds may not have created the battle royale genre, but it certainly popularized it. Since its explosion in popularity in 2017, a number of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds " clones" have popped up, including some mobile games that are blatant copies of PUBG , as well as games that offer enough fresh ideas to become something entirely different, such as Fortnite . Developer PUBG Corp. has attempted to sue Fortnite and other games for their similarities to its game, a decision that has been criticized since PUBG Tips itself has been accused of being an "asset fl

The Battle Pass feature is an increasingly popular alternative to other forms of DLC microtransactions for "Games as a Service" titles. It's not as expensive as splitting DLC up into individual pieces and is not as predatory as Loot Boxes, since there's no RNG. The trade-off is that Battle Passes require a lot of time investment to earn everything, and even then players might not level a Pass up high enough to get everything. For most players, however, that risk is more than worth the benef

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

For the uninitiated, an "asset flip" (a term coined by YouTube personality Jim Sterling) is when a game is made primarily of pre-made assets, as opposed to original artwork or designs. However, some PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developers have pushed back against the notion that the game is an asset flip, including PUBG creator Brendan Greene and more recently, PUBG Corp. communications lead Ryan Rigney, who spoke about the issue on Red

PUBG was released on December 20, 2017 for PC and Xbox One, and then released on mobile earlier this year. You can check out our review of the game here or grab the battle royale game on PC or Xbox One via Amaz

With Sanhok's smaller scale, matches are expected to be quicker and a dynamic weather system promises to cause trouble as PUBG whittles its 100 players down to one lucky winner. Sanhok has already been live on the test servers through four testing periods, but the time has come for its general release as developers promise yet more changes to what the test gamers have already s
