PUBG: Savage Map Adding Underground Cave System
That's okay for now since PUBG is one of the best-selling games ever and accomplished this in less than a year, and it is still one of the most popular games on the internet. But H1Z1 was in a similar spot a year ago and some slow development and bad decision-making saw it fall off the map. Even its recent launch out of early access and going free-to-play today cannot save H1Z1 so in response to all of this, Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene finally took to community to lay out plans for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in 2018 and it's about damn t
Content aside, the plan in 2018 is also to improve the shooter experience with adjustments to the sounds of vehicles, weapons, and movement - even changing the sound of breathing while performing or recovering from different actions. Animations, parachuting, and bullet penetration are also facets of PUBG being worked on for improveme
Dr DisRespect's stream ended up hitting a pretty major figure, breaking the record for the highest number of concurrent viewers in Twitch history and earning major subscriber numbers and donations throughout. At its peak, Dr DisRespect managed to bring in 388,000 viewers, pipping the previous record of set by League of Legends streamer Tyler1 in his own return to the service following a ban from League developer Riot Games. Although there claims that Tyler1 hit over 400,000 viewers, Twitch has confirmed that Dr DisRespect is now the record holder . With that in mind, it's no wonder that Twitch was struggling a little under the l
Bloomberg 's Yufi Nakamura reports that PUBG has hit over 30 million in sales on PC (as of the time of this writing), with an addition 4 million sales coming from the recent Xbox One release, thus bringing its total to over 34 mill
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
The PUBG Corporation is seeking damages from NetEase over their violations, and also seek to shut down both Rules of Survival and Knives Out . This isn't the first time that PUBG has had issues in China - just a few months ago, over one hundred PUBG cheat makers were arrested in the country by police working in concert with Tencent, the company responsible for PUBG's mobile port and Chinese localizat
PUBG Corp further illustrated their plans for the cave by sharing some concept art along with a diagram which outlines its key geographic features and exit routes. The developer didn't give a specific release date for this addition, saying only that it could show up sometime within "the next couple of testing cycl
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
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
Today, PUBG Corp posted another update in the news section of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Steam page. Titled "Inspirations of Codename: Savage - Volume II," the post describes the developer's plans for the game's Savage map going forward. They lead off the post by stating their plans to regularly update the map going forward; stating that "we have months of work left to do." Most importantly, this update both describes and shows what will become the Savage map's defining feature: an underground cave sys
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
