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

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

Imagine yourself on the streets Los Leones, the largest city within the desert map of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds . You’re rifling through the weathered, abandoned buildings, collecting precious loot in hopes of coming across the ever-elusive level three-helmet or 8x scope – when all of a sudden, explosions begin randomly crashing down around you. Before you can do anything, a final blow takes you out, promptly ending your quest for a chicken dinner. It’s then that you realize: you were in the red z

How did this happen? Surely, you took note of the mini-map that showed your icon embedded within the red transparent circle, and heeded the warning of the on-screen notification stating the red zone would be starting soon. Obviously, you took note of the "Warning! Red zone has started!" message, and took shelter within the nearest building. No? You didn’t try to avoid the red zone at all? It may be time to rethink your strategy; a sentiment shared by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lead designer and director, Brendan Gre

In an interview with Eurogamer , Greene stated that there is no reason a player should die in the red zone. Greene also conveyed confidence in the reason for the zone’s in-game existence, which has endured some pushback from some of the PUBG community’s louder voi

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 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 collectibles 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

"We just implemented ping-based matchmaking which really has improved the gameplay experience for a lot of players. It's working out quite well and we're still doing research. We have the data team looking into it and trying to improve it. And that's the goal with the game, to keep improving it over this year and the next year and the next ten yea

As the company behind WeChat, Tencent bought the mobile rights to PUBG 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

The team at Bluehole and PUBG Corp. will ultimately make the final decisions as to what will make PUBG the best game that it can be. However, it is refreshing to hear that the game’s leadership and development team take community feedback to heart, especially as the game continues to build itself out since exiting Early Access late last year, and announcing its 2018 roadmap last mon

PUBG Mobile features a lot of smart gameplay tweaks compared to its counterparts that help it feel very natural on mobile devices. But while these changes seem to have been made with the mobile version in mind, they could also be used to improve the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds experience on PC and Xbox One as w

Of course, this isn't the only change coming out of Fortnite 's playbooks. Another addition coming to the list of changes is an Emote System -- a feature that will be coming to the Test Server "very soon." For an idea of what this looks like, check out the gallery be
