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

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

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 popular Battle Royale game (loosely based on the 2000 movie) is an online multiplayer that parachutes 100 intrepid games onto an island in a last man standing situation. Scavenging weapons and taking out opponents one-by-one, the island's safe zone decreases as the number of players dwindles until only one person is left victorious. First released on Stream's early access in early 2017, PUBG Tips got a full release by Microsoft in December and grabbed headlines ever si

Yet Esports tournaments seem to be a big focus (alongside loot boxes) while optimization and dealing with hackers has fallen by the wayside, at least in terms of perception by active players. It's why we stopped playing over the last two weeks (the hackers and awful in-game reward syst

In the latest blog post from PlayerUnknown himself, the road-map the company is looking at for the upcoming year has been detailed . The goals include everything from game modes and maps, to weapons, vehicles and emotes.

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

Mobile games and controversial real-money loot boxes (that can be traded for real-money value on Steam) have been the focus for PUBG as of late, leaving the door wide open for top competitor, free-to-play Fortnite to become the more popular game, both in player counts and in online streaming servi

The **Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ** community has been rocked after a series of controversial events, including backlash to item trading changes and the use of a racial slur by a major commentator. The game is one of Valve's most popular titles, consistently high in the Steam concurrent user charts even though recent multiplayer shooter distractions have been found in the form of games such as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortni

Nonetheless, this latest iteration of Counter-Strike has not been without its issues over the years, and one noticeable problem is the use of item trading. Trading in CS: GO is effectively a mini-economy in its own right, with some players cashing in on earned skins for big payoffs, while there are ongoing concerns over the use of skins as a virtual currency for online gambling. Eventually, Valve decided enough was enough and has implemented changes, with a recently-traded item now stuck in a seven day cool down before it can be moved on ag

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

In a very long post which didn't reveal much in terms of specifics, Greene unveiled the "PUBG 2018 Roadmap" which included hints of new modes, new vehicles, new weapons, and even emotes - something popular in Fortnite and other live-service games like Desti

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
