Still, for a sample understanding of why the game has been all the rage on PC, the Xbox version does at least show what it’s like to drop in amongst so many other players with nothing but your wits, skills, and ability to manage the worst shooter mechanics imaginable. If you’re okay with most aspects of the game being sub-par, you can still get in on a big battle royale experience, we just can’t recommend it in its current state. Fortnite , although a very different kind of 100-person battle royale, is not only polished, but free-to-play as an alternat
Tencent didn’t reveal which mobile platforms it’s bringing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to, though one has to imagine that both Android and iOS devices will be represented. Tencent also didn’t reveal how PUBG would be altered for it to work on a mobile platform, but fans should expect more details on that front in the coming months. While Tencent was light on details when it comes to its PUBG mobile port, it did confirm that this version of the game would be released in China fi
Host and longtime video game journalist Geoff Keighley has outdone himself again for the The Game Awards 2017, a live event that promises to be bigger than any game awards program before it. And you can watch it all online, easily, and for free! 102 games and individuals have been nominated for this year’s awards, and some categories are voted on by YOU, the ga
Margenau’s right, voting for the game won’t make it come any faster. What’s the point of that category anyway? A more accurate name may be “Upcoming Game with the Best Marketing.” Red Dead Redemption II is on there and all we’ve seen of it is a single teaser trailer. But you could make a similar argument for every category. Does anyone know what the qualifications are for Trending Gamer? The Best Esports Game category doesn’t contain a single game released in the year 2017, and speaking of eSports, there isn’t a single female nomination for Best Esports Player, Presented by Omen and
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
Instead of transferring the PC experience as closely as possible to console, since this isn’t working as is, a new control scheme and some changes to the map perhaps could have helped alongside the obviously much-needed optimization. PUBG is a large, complex beast of a game mode, and as something relatively poorly coded even in its prime version, it’s not an easy thing that should be rushed as an Xbox exclusive. I’d take Minecraft graphics if this thing just ran well and played w
If the mobile port of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is high quality, it’s likely that the game will also make its way stateside and to other regions. After all, PUBG is one of the most popular video games currently available, shattering concurrent player records on Steam and selling over 20 million copies at last count. Considering its popularity, it would make sense for developer PUBG Corporation (a subsidiary of Bluehole) to bring it to as many platforms as possi
PUBG 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 Crafting Guide 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

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
