If it wasn't for Fortnite coming in and stealing the spotlight from PUBG , we'd be stuck with a poorly optimized, gambling-focused battle royale game. Thankfully, Fortnite is here, forcing PUBG Strategy Corp and publisher/original developer Bluehole to take some action (and ideas). Over the last two months PUBG has added weekly events which players have fallen in love with, so much so there's a lot of demand to see some of these test modes become permanent. These events include shotgun-only modes to large team deathmatches and there's more on the

Given the early access nature of the game at launch, the long period of slow updates as the primary focus shifted to gambling for loot boxes to sell on Steam for real money, it's seemed for a few months now that PUBG Corp was playing the short-term game. The rushed nature of the mobile and Xbox One versions of the games signify the company's obvious intention of letting the game spread as fast as possible before something else takes over, and Fortnite already did. And now they have an incomplete game with pissed off players who are moving over in dro

This has come hot on the heels of other battle royale game Fornite launching its mobile version . However, it is hard not to argue that PUBG has gone one step further that its main competitor. While some games inevitably fail in the move from PC to mobile, PUBG runs just as well as its bigger brother - if not sometimes better. Alongside voice chat for players to command their own squadron, other features include the ability to pick up weapons automatically and on-screen controls for steering and driv

The player verses player (PvP) action game pits up to one-hundred players against each other in a battle royale similar to The Hunger Games where the last man standing wins. Each match starts with the players parachuting from a plane onto a massive map representing an abandoned wasteland filled with decrepit buildings, various weapons ranging from guns, rifles, machetes and frying pans, cars, grenades and other gear used to defend yourself and kill other players. It's a fairly brutal game with no music, just the sounds of gunshots in the distance, as you fight to survive while the playable area on the map grows smaller and smaller. The start-up game was originally made for the PC but, due to its overwhelming success, it was recently updated and made for the Xbox One selling 3 million copies despite some glaring issu

It's well known by now that _PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has left a massive dent in the video gaming industry - and now it's just how big that dent really is, seeing as the game has now broken into the top 10 best-selling video games of all time. The battle royale shooter from Bluehole ( which is now PUBG Corporation ) received various accolades and honors for 2017, and its success hasn't slowed down in 2018 so far, at least not with regard to sa

Even with stiff competition from Fortnite Battle Royale , Battlegrounds has persevered. However, it's worth noting that the game has had a long-standing issue with cheaters. Gamers who play PUBG - which features 100 players skydiving onto a large map, looting buildings, and fighting off each other until one player/squad remains - have had their gameplay experiences marred by constant cheaters who've avoided being banned. While the studio has undergone numerous purges of said cheaters, nefarious players continue to crop up daily, and it's becoming an issue for PC players who've supported the title since the very beginning, even when PUBG officially released without fixing its biggest iss

We think its a smart move for PUBG to crack down on cheaters harshly. It's not fair for players who follow to rules that those who choose to cheat and make the game unfair be allowed to continue playing and messing with the system. Hopefully the team will have less problems in the future as the game continues to develop, but when it comes to online multiplayer games it's hard to keep cheats at bay with our ever-changing computer technol

A new update on the Steam community page by the The PUBG Development and Community Team reveals a new pattern of cheats in action negatively affecting the game's desired fair and competitive environment. This past week, the team performed a gameplay data review of 10 million players and completed an analysis of tens of millions of data logs. Their review revealed over 100,000 instances of the new pattern of cheats designed to compromise the game. The team is not taking these results lightly are will be permanently banning the cheaters from the game in a "single wave". They will also be continually checking the data logs, upping security, are looking into adopting a new solution to detect cheaters, and will even be working with investigative authorities in some countries to take legal actions against developers and distributors of the che

Like many other early access titles, Bluehole did an admirable job of keeping fans informed on the short and long-term plans of PUBG. From weekly patches to minor overhauls and brand-new features, Bluehole embraced their ever-growing fanbase through teases on social media and trailers at E3 to showcase the imminent future of the best-seller. This continued until PUBG 1.0 launched in December, and ever since the developer and its community representatives have kept relatively quiet, leaving many fans in a period of confusion and growing disinterest in regards to the game’s future. While this likely isn’t the only reason for the game’s recent droppage, Bluehole should resume their initiative to keep fans informed on what lies on the horizon now that PUBG has officially released, including not only the rumored PS4 release, but the core game’s new features, weapons, maps, improvements and more. Fortunately, PUBG Corp community manager Sammie Kang addressed an upcoming roadmap for PUBG in early 2018 on Twitter, meaning this key step towards repairing the developer’s relation with its fans could be arriving in the near future.
