The PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds creator revealed as much to US Gamer during the 2018 Game Developers Conference, with Greene stating, „I mean, everyone that [suggests] region locking [is forgetting about] VPN. It just doesn’t work.“ Greene then went on to point out that the recently implemented ping-based matchmaking, which only pairs players with those who have the same or similar ping, has improved the experience for m
More importantly though, PUBG is finally getting a map selection, easily the most requested feature ever since the PC version got the Miramar map. The Xbox One version currently only has the original Erangel map but is getting Miramar next month. Details on how the map selector works and why it took so long can be found here . It's still being developed but is nearly complete so there's no time frame
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
Where Fortnite has significant updates on the content front, including fun new modes, seemingly every week, Resumesarea.Com PUBG still barely runs on Xbox One and hasn't done anything of note on PC since launching out of early access. For this reason, in the last few weeks Fornite's popularity has skyrocketed while also earning mainstream buzz - positive buzz - something PUBG is starting to losing a little steam on for the first time in its young l
Unfortunately, Greene wouldn't say anything regarding actual details, nor would he reveal any of the new weapons, potential modes or vehicles coming to the game. The update didn't talk about the Xbox version of the game or loot boxes either, but it did offer some examples of aesthetic changes coming to existing assets - improving the look and level of detail on buildings. The biggest reveal however (the only real reveal) is that of a smaller, 4x4km island map designed to offer players a quicker battle royale experie
The team also noted that another issue in their deathcam, replay and observing systems. If you watch the replays of other players, you might notice no recoil which is an indication of someone using a cheat. The team is now confirming that this just a bug in the system and they will be fixing it as soon as possible. They also have plans to re-balance the blue zone and enhance the combat experience in a match to make them seems less „chaot
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
According to numbers from SteamSpy , the total sales on PC are approximately 30,193,726 (give or take 167,538). Adding that number to the reported Xbox One sales, and PUBG currently sits in seventh place on the list of best-selling video games of all time with an estimated 34.193 million in sales. PUBG is blasting past titles such as New Super Mario Bros. and Wii Sports Resort , as well as classics like Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue . It's impressive considering that PUBG started out in early access and only recently hit version
_PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds _ is cracking down on cheaters trying to hack the system by permanently banning them. The multiplayer online battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation last year quickly became one of 2017's most popular video games appearing on many best video games of the year lists and receiving several nominations for Game of the Year and other awa
In a very long post which didn't reveal much in terms of specifics, Greene unveiled the „PUBG 2018 Roadmap“ which included hints of new modes, new vehicles, new weapons, and even emotes - something popular in Fortnite and other live-service games like Desti
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
