PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Testing New Map Scopes
Like many other early access titles, Bluehole did an admirable job of keeping fans informed on the short and long-term plans of PUBG. From weekly patches to minor overhauls and brand-new features, Bluehole embraced their ever-growing fanbase through teases on social media and trailers at E3 to showcase the imminent future of the best-seller. This continued until PUBG 1.0 launched in December, and ever since the developer and its community representatives have kept relatively quiet, leaving many fans in a period of confusion and growing disinterest in regards to the game’s future. While this likely isn’t the only reason for the game’s recent droppage, Bluehole should resume their initiative to keep fans informed on what lies on the horizon now that PUBG has officially released, including not only the rumored PS4 release, but the core game’s new features, weapons, maps, improvements and more. Fortunately, PUBG weapons Corp community manager Sammie Kang addressed an upcoming roadmap for PUBG in early 2018 on Twitter, meaning this key step towards repairing the developer’s relation with its fans could be arriving in the near future.
In addition to Zelda , many other 2017 games had great nights at the award event as well.

That's not the only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker, data mining for the new update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x and 6x scopes will be coming, in addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread. That said, since the developers themselves haven't confirmed these new additions, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt for
Despite encountering a multitude of difficulties, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has managed to continually change and grow in the months since it exploded onto the gaming scene early last year. Just last weekend the game's developers implemented a new War mode that pitted three squads of ten players against each other. This new mode only lasted for the weekend, but PUBG Corp appears to have several other additions in the works that will help keep the game's community energi
Some of the PUBG team recently took a trip to South East Asia in order to draw inspiration from its unique geography. One location in particular, the Phraya Nakhon cave near Bankok, Thailand, will be serving as the primary inspiration for the cave system being implemented into the map. As seen in the image above, the cave looks like a giant hole in the gro
A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti
After losing its way with the Wii U, Nintendo has once again caught lightning in a bottle with its latest innovation in the Nintendo Switch. The console's strong start was helped in many ways by the outstanding Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , a game which took the familiar franchise formula and turned it on its head to craft something truly unique. It appears that the 30,000 members of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences are also pretty fond of the Switch as a number of exclusive games won big at the 21 st Annual D.I.C.E. Awards last ni
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
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
At this point, very few people within the various communities of gaming need an explainer regarding the multiplayer phenomenon that is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Over the past eleven months, the survival title has broken numerous player and sales records , while consistently shocking and entertaining the internet with its onslaught of clips and GIFs that highlight the insanity of the hundred-player arena game. As developer Bluehole finally pushed PUBG out of early access at the end of last year, the most-played title for months on Steam has finally started to show some cracks in its armor, with Steam Charts reporting a loss of average players of over one hundred thousand over the past thirty days, marking the first decline in the title’s history. As alarming as that may seem, there’s no reason for panic quite yet; PUBG’s impressive numbers inevitably had to dip after such a lengthy run and the title is still the number one played game on Steam by over a million players. There is, however, reason to be concerned if that decay continues over the weeks and months to come, but there are some steps Bluehole and PUBG Corporation can take to avoid any major drops beyond the inevitable.
