PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' developers, PUBG Corp., will no longer be tolerating some of these knock-off titles. The company, which is owned by the Korean publisher Bluehole, filed a lawsuit on the 2nd of April in the US District Court of Northern California against Chinese publisher NetEase, who published a pair of highly derivative smartphone titles called Rules of Survival and Knives Out that look and play extremely similarly to PUBG . The lawsuit accuses NetEase of both copyright and trademark violations in the two copycat tit
pubg dlc Mobile is far from perfect, but it definitely has some good ideas. Whether or not any of these well-received features and improvements in PUBG Mobile are adopted by the PC or Xbox One versions of the game remains to be seen, but with PUBG being an continuously evolving experience , it's certainly possi
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds publisher Bluehole Studio's announced recently (via VG247 ) the release of new, 4x4 map for the game dubbed "Savage". This small new map is being made available early for testing purposes and will be changed as player feedback rolls in. The new map won't be available via the server either; instead, PUBG will distribute keys to a limited number of play
Considering the fact that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Steam sales have made it the third-highest grossing game on Valve's digital distribution platform, it's safe to say that the battle royale title is a bona fide success. Of course, many would still argue that the game suffers from a litany of issues, with one ever-present complaint from lots of fans being about how Chinese cheaters are making PUBG matches unfair. This has led to plenty of calls for PUBG Corp. to "region lock China," but its creator Brendan Greene disagrees that it's a viable solution to the prob
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
PUBG Mobile translates the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds experience to mobile devices so well by streamlining a lot of things from the main game. This includes sprinting, as PUBG Mobile allows players to sprint automatically and indefinitely in whatever direction they desire. This may not seem like a big deal to someone who doesn't play a lot of PUBG , but anyone who regularly plays the game can attest that a lot of time is spent running. This can be tedious, so it would be nice to have an automatic sprint option so perhaps players can do something else when those kinds of situations ar
That's not the only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker, data mining for the new update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x and 6x scopes will be coming, in addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread. That said, since the developers themselves haven't confirmed these new additions, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt for
The PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds creator revealed as much to US Gamer during the 2018 Game Developers Conference, with Greene stating, "I mean, everyone that [suggests] region locking [is forgetting about] VPN. It just doesn’t work." Greene then went on to point out that the recently implemented ping-based matchmaking, which only pairs players with those who have the same or similar ping, has improved the experience for m
Taking all of this into consideration, it looks as if PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will not be region locking China any time soon in an effort to discourage cheaters. So, hopefully the aforementioned efforts on behalf of PUBG Corp. and Tencent will manage to stymie the unethical practice in the long run, if not end it altoget
Unfortunately for Valve, this wasn't the only problem with CS:GO that reared its head recently. Counter-Strike eSports commentator Matthew 'Sadokist' Trivett used a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , before going on to suggest that CS:GO community member Don Haci commit suicide. Although Trivett eventually apologised for his actions via a Facebook post, he has nonetheless been suspended from Twitch and it remains to be seen if there will be further ramificati
This smaller map is apparently an effort by developers to make PUBG faster paced. The game's attempt at world domination stepped up a notch recently with the release of PUBG Mobile for iOS and Android. While the graphical quality and controls obviously took something of a hit, the game runs surprisingly well on mobile and drawn yet more players into PlayerUnknown's Battleground web. The game also proved to be a big hit on Xbox One despite numerous gameplay issues and player complai
