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
The most popular PC shooter of the year, and one of the most streamed games online, is finally available on consoles and wow, the devs can take this one back. **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** released on the Xbox One family of consoles yesterday as part of the Game Preview (early access) program and it’s awkwardly bad, a result of an extremely rushed production by the developers with the help of Microsoft so Xbox could have a notable exclusive out just in time for the holid
Since Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn’t require any money up front, it immediately brings up some concern over whether or not it will be “pay to win.” However, Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions that allow players to buy better guns than their opponents. As detailed in a blog post on Epic’s official website, paid items are planned to be “cosmetics or compendium-like content.” Also, those who purchased Fortnite between September 12-19 are eligible to receive a refund, since Battle Royale was originally announced as part of the main g
For the unaware, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or PUBG as it’s also referred to as, is the king of the battle royale genre, a game type where 100 players drop into a massive open environment and must loot, shoot, and survive. Players can play solo, with a friend, or in a squad of four as they collect gear, weapons, and armor and attempt to outlast the opposition any way they can as the map gradually forces players into increasingly confined spa
Pubg Map Guide is not the first game to offer this experience. Its titular “PlayerUnknown” (real name: Brendan Greene) even worked on battle royales previously, helping develop similar modes as a mod for ARMA 2 , for DayZ , and then as a standalone H1Z1 game before becoming creative director at South Korea’s Bluehole Entertainment who made PUBG in less than year – a game that’s gone on to win ‘ Best Multiplayer Game’ of 2017 at The Game Awards. What makes PUBG special is that it offers the best version of this experience, even as an incomplete game in early access on
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
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
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
