All the nominees were selected by members of the Academy’s peer panels, with one panel for each award category. Each panel is composed of “industry experts” (mostly game developers or representatives of publishers), and the winners will be determined via a confidential voting proc

A handful of bug fixes came with the update, including the elimination of the flame animation that would occur in the plane when a player was on fire from being struck by a molotov cocktail. This change means players will no longer see a trail of fire shooting out from the back of the plane. Find the full patch notes be
The core concept transfers to the Xbox version, where players still play on 100-person servers and parachute in on the same main map (called Erangel). Currently the Xbox version is strictly third-person (players can change their perspective in-game though), and the gear and vehicles are the same. This version also already has the much anticipated vaulting/climbing mechanics (yes, this is a thing in 2017 we have to get excited about) and a pair of new weap
At the moment, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ FPP mode is only available to be played solo on Xbox One, with group servers likely to be added at some point in the future. As of now, FPP servers for the console version of PUBG will be deployed in North America, Europe, and Ocea
As one might expect, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ latest patch on Xbox One not only incorporates the long-awaited First Person Perspective mode, but it also improves client and server performance, while also bringing fixes to crashes. Naturally, these are incredibly important refinements to be made, but the FPP mode will be the main draw for many fans of PU
Bluehole, the developer behind PC-gaming sensation PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ( PUBG ), has launched the site for its upcoming MMORPG title, **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The studio has set high expectations for itself with the runaway success of Pubg money Guide, which has consistently been among Twitch’s most-streamed and most-watched games since its early-access release last Ma
Finally, the patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds also adds analog stick acceleration when jumping out of the plane and while parachuting. For many, the experience had previously felt painful to experience due to issues with the Xbox One version’s performance , and the fact that using the sticks didn’t offer any way to speed up and get to the ground faster than the competition. For a complete list of the patch’s contents, check out the rundown toward the end of the arti
Battle Royale first-timers will hopefully enjoy the novelty of the large-scale experience and the intricacies of how encounters can play out differently every single time, and how much there is to explore in the game’s world. But for anyone who appreciates quality shooters or knows the genre well, PUBG on Xbox One is now the clear winner of a few other awards we’re going to make up now: the worst shooter controls on a console, the worst inventory management system on a console, and the worst performing action game on conso
Without a doubt, one of the most popular features to be incorporated into the PC version of Bluehole Studio’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the addition of a first-person mode , as it brought about a new layer of immersion into the game. Now, fans on Xbox One will be able to take part in the title’s First Person Perspective (FPP) mode thanks to a brand new patch from the develo
This patch is the final live update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds until version 1.0 is unveiled later this year alongside the Xbox Game Preview build for the Xbox One console. Bluehole does, however, have test servers for vaulting, climbing, and a new desert map planned as the game’s two million players wait for the title to launch in f
Remember when there was talk about the Xbox One X enhanced version of PUBG hitting 60 fps before it was corrected and stated that it’d only run at 30? Maybe someone misheard “16.” You’d be lucky to get that at the start of a match. It’s unbelievable that this game was allowed to be released in this state on consoles, no matter how many disclaimers are built into the m
Taking all of this into consideration, it’s great to see Bluehole Studio bringing another feature that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fans on both PC and Xbox One can enjoy. Without a doubt, the inclusion of the First Person Perspective mode on the console version of the game will help bring more attention to the title overall and potentially pull some Xbox fans away from their time with PUBG competitor Fortni
