PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PC Deploys New Update; Includes Weapons Skins and More

Over on the game's Steam Community page, developer PUBG Corp has revealed the patch notes for the PC version's update #15, which will bring over the brand new Sanhok map, which was available in testing for several weeks, over to the live ser

Microsoft just held their Inside Xbox: X018 Special, which was home to a wide variety of interesting announcements regarding upcoming lineup of games, DLC, and updates. That being said, six specific announcements stood out from the pack, so I wanted to highlight them here for those of you that may have missed this latest Inside Xbox Livestr

Guess I'll have to wait because a beta won't even be ready until November. Will we even get the full release this year? Hard to say. This is just like Grand Theft Auto V's launch. You'd think Rockstar would have lear

Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what PUBG got so right the first time aro

Fortnite can feel the complete opposite. Don’t get me wrong; the game is fantastic. I see why it has exploded into what it is today. It still never connected with me though. While you will find yourself in a lot more battles in Epic’s rendition of battle royale, I always felt that it was missing some suspense. No matter where you are at in Fortnite , you have cover. Well, unless you do not have any building materials, but that is not to often since you can gather materials from almost every object. Running from town to town usually is not an issue because if an enemy spots you and starts firing, just pop up a few walls and boom, cover! In fact, you can pull an entire fortress out of your pocket at a moment's notice, provided you have the equipment. If I see another player off in the distance, a distance close enough that I can do some damage, I won’t bother because the opponent can erect a tower at the snap of a fin

In addition to the new skins system in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that will provide players some flexibility in customizing their characters' appearance, the update also introduces some new options for earning cosmetic items through the Triumph and Raider crates. The Triumph crates can only be opened by purchasing a Weapon Cosmetic Key, while the Raider crates can be opened for free from players that earn them in-g

PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds isn’t the best-made game in the world, visually. It also doesn’t run particularly well -- a fact that developers made light of in their recent Inside Xbox Live at Gamescom showcase. We are eight months past the official release of Version 1.0, and the battle royale game is still riddled with bugs on PC; that's not even mentioning the Xbox One version, which is finally coming out of Early Access . In fact, PUBG Story guide Corporation, the developers behind the game, literally created a website entitled fix.pubg.com that outlines their roadmap for updates that will better optimize the performance of the title. There are a lot of unignorable issues that understandably drive players a
