While this will certainly be frustrating news for some, the change isn't without reason. Developers chose to decrease spawn rates on the island in order to adjust the balance on the Northeast side of Erangel and attempt to level out gameplay. Some PUBG players would jump out of the plane and locate a boat, and then immediately head to the island in the Northeast corner of the map. Reportedly, the loot on the island would alter the loot table in surrounding areas. Players would then collect enough healing items, weapons, and protective gear to hop back into the action Eeejp`s statement on its official blog the main island with the blue wall as their only real threat. This tweak fixes t

This particular decision was reached after PUBG Corp ran an extensive and comprehensive data review of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to find "new pattern" of cheating occurring with the game on PC. As seen in a Steam Community post regarding the matter, PUBG Corp isn't taking the issue lightly, as it has stated that those who have been found taking part in exploiting the game will be "permanently banned in a single wa

A few days ago, it was announced that large Chinese video game publisher Tencent would be bringing the wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to China in an official capacity. Today the company announced that not only is it releasing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the region, it is also creating a mobile version of the g

"We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press. This was never discussed with us and we don’t feel that it’s rig

Assuming the mobile port of PUBG is a success, the game will become a true powerhouse and has potential to break video game sales records. Alternatively, Tencent may opt to ditch PUBG 's initial asking price and make a profit using the game's loot box system and microtransactions. Either way, it's hard to see how a mobile version of PUBG won't be a big moneymaker for everyone invol

What most fans seem to agree on, though, is that they would like both games to coexist peacefully. They may include battle royale gameplay, but that doesn't mean that there can only be one victor once this dispute is sett

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.

Kim continued, explaining why the company was the concern. From Kim's vantage point, and that of Bluehole as a whole, Epic Games released a game mode "that is similar to [Bluehole] that has similar elements," and that's a problem considering the two companies' professional relationship. "We use Unreal Engine to develop PUBG , and we pay a large amount of royalties based on the size of our success to Epic Games," explained Kim. "Epic Games always promoted their licensing models [saying], 'We want to support the success of indie developers,' and [Bluehole is] this indie developer that has been the most successful one using the Unreal Engine this year, and that's the problem that I s

Since leaving Steam Early Access and launching in full at the end of 2017, it definitely looks as if PUBG Corp is continuing to do all it can to weed out cheaters in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in order to maintain its status as the premier Battle Royale title on the market. Of course, with competitors like Fortnite offering a similar experience with its own Battle Royale mode at no cost to fans, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the genre and which game eventually comes out on

"We recently discovered a new pattern of cheats in action. This week, we performed a thorough gameplay data review of 10 million players and completed analysis of tens of millions of data logs. Through this exercise, we were able to identify over 100,000 instances of the new pattern related to use of cheat and now we have confirmed that it was clearly an attempt of compromising our g

Without a doubt, the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds continues to grow, as the title recently managed to reach over 3 million players on Xbox One just about a week ago. Of course, with such a huge pool of gamers flocking to the title, there are bound to be some rotten apples in the bunch, and the development team at PUBG Corp has confirmed just that by revealing its intentions to ban over 100,000 cheaters on the title's PC vers

The newest patch spent just a day on test servers before going live earlier today, and fans quickly noticed that amongst the smaller issues it addresses, the update decreases item spawn levels on the starting island. This refers to live rounds of actual gameplay and not the opening lobby where players can grab weapons like the Groza or the 9 mm VSS sniper rifle and various tools before boarding the pl
