PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is the Survival Game for People That Don't Like Survival Games

Since it debuted on Early Access last March and finally launched last month, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has shown little signs of slowing down with regular new updates and content being added, with PC players getting a new update on the hori

In this way, PUBG indeed relies on its fair share of luck and hoping that the game's behind-the-scenes RNG works in your favor. This, of course, makes PUBG 's unpredictability both one of its best and worst qualities. With the way that matches play out, you can just as quickly be killed in the game's opening minutes thanks to a lousy plane route, or last to the very end with some careful deliberation and strategy if you happen to luck out with avoiding the cir

Adjusted squad team colors to make them more consistent between different colorblind options

Added a function where a player can select more detailed criteria for the "Cheating" category in the in-game report

Starting off each round, players are flown to the battlegrounds in a huge aircraft carrier that takes a random path across the huge maps and gives players the chance to jump out and parachute to their starting location. This moment alone marks a big point where players will have to strategize, whether they decide to jump from the plane early and (usually) wind up in a bloodbath of other players trying to scrounge for weapons and ammo, or taking more remote paths to other parts of the island that could make survival easier, but potentially put the player at a disadvantage as far as outpacing some of the game's environmental hazards, such as supply drops and random bombing r

A new post on the community forums for PUBG on Steam revealed that a new update will be heading to the game's PC version, hot on the heels of the recently-released patch for the Xbox One version of the title. Specifically, the new update packs in bug fixes and seeks to address more of the game's technical performance, while introducing some new cosmetic changes, such as a new design for the energy drink so it looks less like a knockoff Red Bull

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

PUBG clearly has more work to be done after its nine months of Early Access, but I'm more than looking forward to seeing the experience get bigger and better over time. Despite its initial hangups (and the issues that still plague it outside of Early Access), there's an incredibly strong foundation to PUBG 's gameplay that's clearly going to evolve in new and exciting ways. The version of PUBG that I'm reviewing now is very much going to look different a year from now, and honestly, that might just be the most exciting part of where this massively popular game heads n

I probably don’t need to tell you that the long-awaited release of Red Dead Redemption 2 is right around the corner. With the first game being a runaway hit (technically the second game, a lot of people forget there was a game called Red Dead Revolver first) it makes sense that people are abuzz with excitement to get back in the saddle. One of the problems with people being abuzz is that they start to want to get their hands on something way before click the up coming webpage actual release date, so outside of beta play, all they have is talking about the subject. And with news coming out more every day from Rockstar about all the crazy things you will get up to out in the old west, Rockstar has also been somewhat tight-lipped about any significant details, which is something we should be used to from them by

Even though I've only put a few hours into Battlegrounds at this point since jumping in, I can already see it as a title that I'll more than likely come back to in the coming months. With rounds that usually extend for me around 20-30 minutes (if I don't get killed right from the get-go), the game has drawn in me like few others ever have, much less any type of survival sim or Early Access game before it, and most of that comes down to its incredibly streamlined sense of survival at play, and how it draws players together in a fight to the finish. To say Battlegrounds is exhilarating is an understatement: even in its earliest state right now, I've kept coming back to the game night after night because it's gotten my blood pumping like few other games have in the past few ye

Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS .

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

Earning a chicken dinner victory in PUBG can come just as effectively from players that are aggressive and go after other players the moment they see them as they can from players that are deliberate and careful. A big part of that comes from using the environment to your advantage -- snipers that find manage to find a great hill or mountain can easily use that to their advantage to pick off players from a distance without ever knowing where they are. Likewise, setting up an ambush in a crowded city can also work to your advantage by keeping players guessing as to your location. Heck, avoiding combat altogether can sometimes be the best solution, as you sneak by while a passing enemy gets into a confrontation with another pla
