The latest and greatest gaming feud, Bluehole Studios' PUBG and Epic Games' Fortnite , is taking on a new level of competition. The PUBG development team laid out their plans for 2018 and it looks like they are trying to copy some of the more successful elements of what Fortnite brings to the increasingly-competitive battle roy
The developer goes on to note that in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , players must „visually detect“ other players because of the lack of player indicators seen in other shooter games. PUBG Corp. is using this particular section of the lawsuit to assert that games like Rules of Survival have also ripped off the style of cosmetics offered by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . These cosmetic similarities, the developer appears to suggest, should be taken seriously because they actively impact the core, PUBG gameplay experience. It also argues that the visual design of these cosmetics is a „protectable“ w
There's no doubt that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is one of the most well-known games on the market today, as its introduction to the masses rejuvenated an interest in the battle royale genre as a whole, which gave rise to other famous competitors such as Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale . With so many folks still vying for yet another Chicken Dinner in PUBG , it's great to see that the developers remain dedicated in making the game run as smoothly as possible with updates like Patch
Just several days ago, the Xbox One version of PUBG Corp. and Bluehole Studio's battle royale title PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds managed to surpass 5 million players on the Microsoft platform, proving that the game's popularity continues to grow on the console. Now, in order to keep PUBG running smoothly on the system, the development team behind the title has released a new patch for the Xbox One that brings about inventory layout changes, frame-rate optimization, and m
However, as PUBG Corp's comments about the Ghillie suit note, certain cosmetics can be used to benefit players, by camouflaging them in certain areas of a map . PUBG Corp. may have only identified the Ghillie suit as a beneficial piece of loot, but what of the other cosmetic content that players can collect in paid-for cra
Where Fortnite has significant updates on the content front, including fun new modes, seemingly every week, 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 Weapons is starting to losing a little steam on for the first time in its young l
Nevertheless, PUBG players now have a document with which to hold PUBG Corp. accountable and PUBG Corp. has made public their plans to keep fans happy. And that kind of transparency in development is exactly what fans have wanted for a long time now from PlayerUnknown's Battlegroun
Since PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds does sell loot crates - with some players also willing to pay excessive amounts of money for in-game cosmetics - some will also wonder whether PUBG deserves to be included in the pay-to-win deb
Dubbed „Patch 11“, the latest update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One's most noticable change comes in the form of a refinement to the inventory UI that adds new focal points so that players can navigate menus much more quickly and change their loadouts more efficiently. What's more is that Patch 11 updates the button guide and tooltips in order to better direct players in PU
Apart from that, the developer is planning on adding new Game Modes, new vehicles, and new weapons to bring some added variety. Additionally, for a UI update they hope to add in Achievements, in-game friends list, and main menu voice chat supp
Unfortunately for Valve, this wasn't the only problem with CS:GO that reared its head recently. Counter-Strike eSports commentator Matthew 'Sadokist' Trivett used a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , before going on to suggest that CS:GO community member Don Haci commit suicide. Although Trivett eventually apologised for his actions via a Facebook post, he has nonetheless been suspended from Twitch and it remains to be seen if there will be further ramificati
News comes from the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds development blog , where the studio was hoping to clear the air and create a prioritization list for the community. The most notable change in the works is a brand new island map that is set to be only 4x4km – likely the biggest play towards the Fortnite audience. This new map will be available on PUBG 's experimental test server starting next mo
Mobile games and controversial real-money loot boxes (that can be traded for real-money value on Steam) have been the focus for PUBG as of late, leaving the door wide open for top competitor, free-to-play Fortnite to become the more popular game, both in player counts and in online streaming servi
