The PUBG Corporation is seeking damages from NetEase over their violations, and also seek to shut down both Rules of Survival and Knives Out . This isn't the first time that PUBG News has had issues in China - just a few months ago, over one hundred PUBG cheat makers were arrested in the country by police working in concert with Tencent, the company responsible for PUBG's mobile port and Chinese localizat

Given the early access nature of the game at launch, the long period of slow updates as the primary focus shifted to gambling for loot boxes to sell on Steam for real money, it's seemed for a few months now that PUBG Corp was playing the short-term game. The rushed nature of the mobile and Xbox One versions of the games signify the company's obvious intention of letting the game spread as fast as possible before something else takes over, and Fortnite already did. And now they have an incomplete game with pissed off players who are moving over in dro

First, though, he mentioned updates. The team is committing to more frequent updates, with big content delivery coming every two months, and smaller updates coming more frequently. The big ones will make changes to systems or drop content, where smaller updates will focus on bugs. Aesthetics will be updated now and again as well. Bluehole will also launch an Experimental Test Server to help get feedback from players on future content.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can be tough, but its also incredibly tense and absorbing. That's one of the reasons the game is the third bestselling title ever on Steam - and one of the top 10 bestselling games period. The success of PUBG doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon either, and after seasoned players exhausted the original map, a second titled Miramar was added recently to keep things fr

Last week, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corp. launched a potentially industry-shaking lawsuit against NetEase , the creator of several battle royale mobile clones. The company accused NetEase, the Chinese publisher behind battle royale games such as Rules of Survival and Knives Out , of violating copyright and trademarks it holds PlayerUnknown's Battlegroun

Content is king, so it should be no surprise that planned additions to the game were the most prominent part of the PUBG roadmap. First up is a brand new 4x4 kilometer map, a quarter of the size of Erangel and Miramar, designed for faster, action-packed rounds. This small map will come to a new Experimental Test Server in April, but a second, standard-sized 8x8 map is also in development for a 2018 release, but is not yet ready to be sh

There have been more loot boxes added to **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** in the last few months than actual content updates. Thankfully, some meaningful changes and updates are already being deplo

The lawsuit does cite a number of specific instances, however, including a particular "rural aqueduct" that appears in both titles, the use of a frying pan as a weapon, certain armour or weapon parts cited as "near-exact copies," and the repeated use of the phrase "winner winner chicken dinner," which was used in marketing material for NetEase's two games. NetEase was involved in a legal case alleging copyright infringement last year , but ironically, in that case they were the ones filing the suit alongside Blizzard, against a Chinese clone of Overwatch. NetEase actually oversees the Chinese localization of the Blizzard ti

"Clothing does affect gameplay in terms of camouflage. Clothing can be used to assist the player to blend in with the environment, making the player less visually detectable. In particular, Battlegrounds includes a Ghillie suit, a full body suit covered with camouflaging material typically used by snipers. The Ghillie suit allows the player to become nearly visually invisible depending upon the terra

"You’ve heard us talk about open development a few times, but what does that really mean? For Codename: Savage it means we’re going to be building the map as you guys play it. We have months of work left to do; beyond refining the experience and making changes that impact balance, we also plan to add new vehicles, new weapons, and most exciting in our eyes are the new areas that we think will set this map apart from our first t

Since PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds does sell loot crates - with some players also willing to pay excessive amounts of money for in-game cosmetics - some will also wonder whether PUBG deserves to be included in the pay-to-win deb

At least the new map's potential looks cool and there's talk of new vehicles (including an armored UAZ found in test files for an upcoming event) and weapons that we've seen so few of the last half-y

Before we get to that however, this week PUBG Corp unveiled details for Patch #11 coming to test servers soon. This includes a few bug fixes, an interface update for tracking the starting plane's flight path, and - you guessed it - a new paid-for loot boxes for weapon skins called the "Equinox Crate." In order to gamble on these crates, players must spend additional real money for a Weapon Skin Key and then hope for the best so they can get some value. Or just do
