PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Gets Epic Update

We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit. When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating an environment that is very different from Erangel. We wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests and arrived at the harsh and unforgiving desert of what we can now reveal is Miramar. The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required. We don't want to tell you too much as you will soon be able to experience it all yourself but we did write a few short descriptions of several of the key landmarks and towns. You can find them below, together with the new screensh

Karnage: When I prepare for a game, I like to get my gun skill ready as much as possible. The best way for me to do that is to enter an arcade war mode so I'm able to fire my gun as much as possible without the game ending. I also like to watch gameplay videos from previous PUBG tournaments I've played

Part of the charm of the game is the way it balances killer and camp counselor, a tightrope act that shouldn't be ignored. Mechanics mesh extremely well with gameplay and give players a variety of options in escaping Jason Voorhees —unless they're lucky enough to play as him instead, a delightful experience that is equal parts frenetic and fun. Sure, parts of Friday the 13th: The Game are disappointing, but it was, for at least a few weeks, one of the most hotly-debated and thoroughly-enjoyed multiplayer titles of 2017, earning it a spot on this l

With the previous rifle add-on (the Groza), soon the game will have to cycle some of these weapons into the regular loot ta

Destiny 2 's launch saw the game praised for mitigating some of the shortcomings of its predecessor, and few games this year did a better job of uniting communities—either in praise or in criticism—than the second run 'round the galaxy for Guardians. With more content scheduled for 2018 and a reworked game system that has made Destiny 2 even more accessible , there's cause for optimism from Ghosts and Guardians alike headed into the new y

After the mod transitioned to ARMA 3 and took-off in earnest, Daybreak Game Company (formerly Sony Online Entertainment) took notice and started development of a battle royale mode for their then upcoming game "Just Survive" (formerly "H1Z1"). In relatively short order, the developer invited Greene to their studio to ask if they could use his mode in the game. Greene agreed and they wound up bringing him onboard the project as a consultant. Just Survive’s battle royale mode would come to be known as "H1Z1: King of the Kill" and helped popularize the fledgling game genre even further.

No list of the year's best multiplayer games would be complete without PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . It's difficult to express just how successful the game, which started as an early access title on Steam and became a worldwide phenomenon overnight, has truly been, but we will try. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds set a new record for most concurrent Steam users earlier this year, surpassing industry staples like Dota 2 , while also forming the foundation of a new eSport and online streaming sensation, with the title frequently occupying one of the top spots of metrics tracking Twitch's viewership figu
