As the company behind WeChat, Tencent bought the mobile rights to pubg patch Notes last year and had been rolling it out in China. However, the latest release marks the game's iPhone release outside of China and the Android release outside of a tested version that recently launched in Can

As you can imagine, another major focus for the development team is working out the kinks in stability -- a task which is a much more common topic of discussion for both the developers and the community. In this respect, Bluehole noted "it is impossible to solve these problems once and for all, but our goal is to continuously improve in this rega

Where Fortnite has significant updates on the content front, including fun new modes, seemingly every week, PUBG still barely runs on Xbox One and hasn't done anything of note on PC since launching out of early access. For this reason, in the last few weeks Fornite's popularity has skyrocketed while also earning mainstream buzz - positive buzz - something PUBG is starting to losing a little steam on for the first time in its young l

The latest and greatest gaming feud, Bluehole Studios' PUBG and Epic Games' Fortnite , is taking on a new level of competition.

While some PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans may disagree with Greene's stance when it comes to the notion of region locking the game in China, it would be difficult for one to claim that PUBG Corp. is not taking the issue of cheating seriously. After all, the development team behind the battle royale title has been steadily working on anti-cheat updates, introduced fresh rules in an effort to stop cheaters and unauthorized programs, and has banned more than one million players in the past for the offe

This has come hot on the heels of other battle royale game Fornite launching its mobile version . However, it is hard not to argue that PUBG has gone one step further that its main competitor. While some games inevitably fail in the move from PC to mobile, PUBG runs just as well as its bigger brother - if not sometimes better. Alongside voice chat for players to command their own squadron, other features include the ability to pick up weapons automatically and on-screen controls for steering and driv

Ever since its inception, the development team behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been trying to thwart cheating as much as possible, with one attempt being in the addition of reporting aspects to the game, including the somewhat recently incorporated 3D killcams and replay features .

News comes from the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds development blog , where the studio was hoping to clear the air and create a prioritization list for the community. The most notable change in the works is a brand new island map that is set to be only 4x4km -- likely the biggest play towards the Fortnite audience.

Meanwhile, competitor Epic Games is touting more new modes, another new season of content and a mobile version of Fortnite which will support cross-play with PC and PS4 versions of the game. It's that rapid development, lack of loot box gambling, lack of hackers, and great communication with the community that's helping Fornite takeover PU

Admittedly, with some slightly blurry graphics, PUBG is far from perfect, but when scaled down to a smaller screen, it is hard to really notice the downgrade in quality. Although PUBG mobile suggests iPhone 6 or higher, it is still backward compatible with an iPhone 5 providing that iOS 9 is installed. It is another 1-up on Fortnite , which will only work with Apple models beyond a 6S. According to the Google Play store, PUBG will run on over 500 Android devices as long as they are using Android 5.1.1 Lollipop or later and have at least 2 GB of
