PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans are anxiously awaiting the release of the game's major version 1.0 update, with each new mini-update sparking more excitement in preparation for the big roll-out. Yesterday, Bluehole announced that it would be adding vaulting and climbing to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , only adding to the overall anticipation. But today, the developer released an update includes an alteration that may leave players disappoin

"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

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , the Internet's biggest and most popular battle royale style game, has become so well known that it is hard for new games to come on the scene. While it is no surprise that developers are trying to claim their own share of this genre's profitability, it has now become incredibly difficult for them to do so without being accused of copying PUBG . The latest iteration of the battle royale formula comes in the form of High Rez Studio's Paladins: Battlegrounds , and it is already being accused of steal

Also, if it had been called "Paladins: Battle Royale" as originally intended, would we be having this same conversation, but with Fortnite: Battle Royale as the "victim?" Regardless, Chisam believes that "Battleground" should refer to a style of game, and that it shouldn't be trademar

Tencent didn't reveal which mobile platforms it's bringing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to, though one has to imagine that both Android and iOS devices will be represented. Tencent also didn't reveal how PUBG would be altered for it to work on a mobile platform, but fans should expect more details on that front in the coming months. While Tencent was light on details when it comes to its PUBG mobile port, it did confirm that this version of the game would be released in China fi

While PewDiePie has issued an apology for the aforementioned anti-Semitic jokes, as well as promised to scale back on some of his brand of shock humor, this latest incident undermines his earlier promises. With his latest apology still fresh in the minds of everyone in the community, only time will tell whether his latest act of contrition will st

This latest incident is the second such moment in 2017 where PieDiePie has found himself in hot water over something he has said or done. A few months ago, the popular YouTuber drew criticism after he had made a series of anti-Semitic jokes in one of his videos , resulting in a considerable amount of fallout. Most notable, Disney ended its association with him and cancelled his YouTube Red horror s

A few weeks ago, Epic Games announced that their base building and wave-killing game Fortnite was receiving a Battle Royale mode. This mode is influenced by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ) , pitting 100 players against each other on a large map with the winner being the last player left alive. Just yesterday, however, Epic Games has revealed that this mode will be released as its own game, titled **Fortnite: Battle Royale ** , and it will be free-to-p

If the mobile port of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is high quality, it's likely that the game will also make its way stateside and to other regions. After all, PUBG is one of the most popular video games currently available, shattering concurrent player records on Steam and selling over 20 million copies at last count. Considering its popularity, it would make sense for developer PUBG Corporation (a subsidiary of Bluehole) to bring it to as many platforms as possi

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

"You probably won't believe me when I say this but whenever I go online and I hear other players use the same kind of language I did, I always find it extremely immature and stupid. And I hate how I now personally fed into that part of gaming as well. It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of. And it just sort of slipped out. I'm not going to make any excuses as to why it did because there are no excuses for it. I'm disappointed in myself because it seems like I've learned nothing from all these past controversies. And it's not that I think I can say or do whatever I want and get away with it. That's not it at all. I'm just an idi

Paladins: Battlegrounds was announced yesterday and was met with immediate criticism from fans and critics alike. Many feel that, since the game will play so similarly to PUBG Guide , High Rez should at least stay away from the "battlegrounds" moniker. In response to these claims, High Rez Studio's president Stew Chisam was interviewed yesterday, wherein he pushed back on all of them and claimed that the two games are "unrelat
