PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8×8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4’s capabilit
Pushing past six million copies in the past few weeks, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has dominated the Steam charts throughout this year alongside continued monthly updates, with the game’s upcoming August updates to be one of its most expansive
Each match in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has a similar sense of rhythm and cadence — you jump from the plane, you try to survive the initial bloodbath of players dropping onto the island, you collect as many weapons, supplies, and upgrades as you can, and then try to work your way towards the final circle and eliminate the last remaining players. However, getting to that final point is not only difficult (most of the time), but thanks to the game’s randomized elements like where the plane dispatches, weapon drops, and the ever-shrinking circle location, it keeps players on their toes and ensures that no match plays out in the same
The next Monthly Update will also introduce the game’s first new paid cosmetic items through a “crate and key system,” which Greene took time in the community forum to address. Due to some of the negative reaction towards implementing the system, Greene expressed that the introduction and testing of the new paid cosmetics will “serve as the foundation of a healthy economy after launch,” and will aim to “benefit all players – both who are willing to pay and who are not willing to pay for vanity items.” However, Greene also addressed that “our messaging wasn’t clear” in terms of implementing the new system, and added that the team will “try to communicate better moving forwa
The theory goes that when John was left behind by the gang in a failed robbery attempt, he took out a few of his traitorous comrades before he left, including Arthur Morgan. A good way to fill a plot h
You know who isn’t known for being tight-lipped? The rest of the human race, especially when they have nothing significant to add to the conversation. Yes, when we actually know nothing about something we desperately want to discuss, we tend to pluck absolute nonsense straight out of the air. That is how rumors get started. While rumors about video games can be incredibly useful, as they can help developers see what fans actually want to see in the game, other times it is just one sad weirdo trying to shoehorn Rainbow Dash into every single franchise. So in that spirit, here are some of the more exciting rumors we’ve heard about RDR2 , as well as some confirmed secrets you can look forward
In a lot of ways, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds feels like what we often see from “rags to riches” stories in movies, TV, books, and countless other mediums. Coming from a Korean studio with a name that’s both unique and perplexingly bizarre, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (or known collectively as PUBG online guide ) has gone from being a small, unheard-of entity to the breakout game of 2
In the hours that I’ve played PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , most of those fears have gone away from the start. That isn’t to say Battlegrounds goes completely against the grain when it comes to most Early Access survival sims – there are bugs a-plenty and what’s actually available in the game for players is a bit sparse at the moment (though frequent updates are regulating that). However, I find what PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds does best so far is capture what I like the most about survival games – that intoxicating stress of fighting for your life – while stripping away almost all of the mechanics that I often clash with in the ge
Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl
Specifically, Greene clarified with the game’s new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd
Rockstar has been pretty adamant that RDR2 will not be following in the footsteps of GTA 5 and will not have multiple protagonists. That being said, Rockstar has been known to be full of lies in the past to throw off audien
Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka “PlayerUnknown”) outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game. Specifically, these include a new car horn feature when driving vehicles, the addition of first-person only servers for the game in Solo and Duo game types for North America and Europe, support for the Xbox One controller, new weapons and character customization options, and much m
