PUBG Will Adopt Some Fortnite Design Choices In 2018 To Keep Competitive

Reminder to the community that the Varsity Jacket (also known as the PUBG5 jacket) announced last week will be rewarded to players after March 22nd 12:01AM. Look for it in your in-game inventory from March 22nd, inside the customization tab of the m


Of course, not everything on the roadmap is targeting the Fortnite audiences and much of the upcoming plans are simple tweaks and polishing of what PUBG does best. Improving on the graphics, the art team is reportedly working on all around improvements to make the game more aesthetically pleasing. For instance, check out the new art direction on buildi


Loot boxes! More loot boxes ! Locked loot boxes! Selling loot boxes! Cheating for loot boxes! This has been the story of **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** for a few months since developer PUBG Corp (a division of Bluehole) has slowed down on making their flagship game bet


There's no doubt that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is one of the most well-known games on the market today, as its introduction to the masses rejuvenated an interest in the battle royale genre as a whole, which gave rise to other famous competitors such as Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale . With so many folks still vying for yet another Chicken Dinner in PUBG , it's great to see that the developers remain dedicated in making the game run as smoothly as possible with updates like Patch


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


Dubbed "Patch 11", the latest update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One's most noticable change comes in the form of a refinement to the inventory UI that adds new focal points so that players can navigate menus much more quickly and change their loadouts more efficiently. What's more is that Patch 11 updates the button guide and tooltips in order to better direct players in PU


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 is starting to losing a little steam on for the first time in its young l


Dr DisRespect finally made his return to Twitch.tv today, and in the process managed to take the platform down. The streamer, whose real name is Guy Beahm, is one of the most popular around, and his caustic personality has gelled well with Twitch users. He's the (self-proclaimed) "face of Twitch" after all! The former video game developer has managed to pull in huge numbers with his PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds streams, leading to the doctor becoming one of the biggest Twitch celebrities and winner of two awards for it last y


By shrinking the map down to a 4x4 space as seen below, PUBG 's games will become much quicker and action-packed as players are confined to more dense locations from the very start. This, in turn, will lead to shorter matches, something that gets near-universal praise in the battle royale ge


Savage is going to get an underground cave system, something out of a NatGeo feature or Godzilla movie, and the devs are building it based on the real-world location of Phraya Nakhon Cave which means one of the rooftop cave entrances will be so big that players can parachute straight into it from the beginning of a ma


Mobile games and controversial real-money loot boxes (that can be traded for real-money value on Steam) have been the focus for PUBG as of late, leaving the door wide open for top competitor, free-to-play Fortnite to become the more popular game, both in player counts and in online streaming servi


Besides automatically looting and equipping upgrades, PUBG updates Mobile improves the looting process in another key way. Whenever a player is killed in PUBG , their body disappears and is replaced by a brown box that holds all their gear. Thanks to the game's color scheme, it can sometimes be very difficult to find these boxes, but PUBG Mobile makes it easier by marking them with glowing green lig


One thing players are always doing in PUBG is looting, and PUBG Mobile makes the process much smoother by, once again, streamlining it. PUBG Mobile has an automatic looting feature that will instantly pick up any upgrades in the nearby area, assuming players are close enough to them. This means that players with a level 1 backpack will automatically pick up a level 2 backpack, or swap out their weaker helmet for a stronger
