The battle royale title, which actually gave the genre its jump start that lead to massive cultural phenomena like Fortnite and Apex Legends come to the fore, was voted in as 2018's best Steam game by fans, who were prompted to name their favorites across eight awa

Nothing about the Special Projects division is really known at this point beyond the philosophy that's at play behind its creation. Greene has indicated that the division is meant to explore future possibilities within gaming that don't really exist currently, stating that the division would focus on creating new technologies and gameplay. Greene has also suggested that he already has a number of ideas for what these focuses should be, and that the creation of the division is to take one of the progenitor's of the battle royale genre's ideas and to make them reality. With PUBG 's popularity waning, now seems like a good time for Greene to step back and try something new outside of that sph

It began when one PSNProfiles member spotted a series of images that spoil the arrival of PUBG on PS4 and this week analyst Daniel Ahmad took to the ResetEra forums to confirm what we've all been hearing . Unfortunately, PUBG 's late entry could end up costing its potential on the PlayStation platform. PlayStation 4 is in the midst of a battle royale bonanza thanks to the supersized Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and the franchise's break from tradition by taking on the trend of battle royale gaming in lieu of a single player campaign. Elsewhere, the free-to-play H1Z1 has been killing it on the PS4 as well and that's before even mentioning the juggernaut that is Fortni

Meanwhile, Greene's new projects sound equally exciting: he's been clear that the Special Division isn't " doing this for profit " just yet, and that there's more exploration at play to begin with. The division will also be given several years to work out what it's aim is, without need for deadlines or profit margins to start. Whatever Greene decides to pursue, he'll be able to do it without restrict

As Battle(non)sense points out, the networking side of the game seems to have been less of a focus than the moment to moment gameplay and fresh take on the genre as a whole . Considering EA is currently looking to hire a senior network engineer for Apex Legends and that the game has garnered a staggering amount of success since it released last month, it's looking likely that many of these issues may be fixed sooner than la

Originally released on PC, PUBG has since received versions on Xbox One and mobile platforms. Competitors emerged for the battle royale game, however, with the likes of Fortnite's free-to-play battle royale mode releasing on all current platforms, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V following suit in the near future. The console market space is massive, and PUBG is missing out without a PS4 vers

With a large number of consumers worldwide owning a PS4, a logical conclusion would be that a version of PUBG for the console would be a sales powerhouse. But with the stiff competition in this day and age, a PS4 PUBG may have an uphill battle to face. Not only is Fortnite free of charge, but the game also has enjoyed a nearly year-long head-start on the PS4. With Fortnite likely causing PUBG's player count to drop , it's arguable that PUBG has already lost too much momentum to catch up on the platform. Plus, the game will face the challenge of competing directly with H1Z1 - another battle royale game that happens to be on PC and PS4 only, not Xbox One. Aside from PC, it seems that the PS4 may soon become the only video game console to contain every major battle royale game on the mar

That is all set to change based on a listing for PUBG on PS4, found on the website of South Korea's Game Content Rating Classification Committee . While it's fair to be skeptical of the leak's accuracy, there is a precedent for this very body revealing this kind of information before. A similar incident occurred with the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite , which hadn't been officially announced at the t

The game is certainly deserving, having left the gaming universe in awe following its release. Unfortunately, Fortnite took over and even that is now being overshadowed by Respawn and EA's launching of Apex Legends , a BR based on the Titanfall series that amazingly garnered 10 million users in its first three da

There is also the issue of technical fidelity, as the graphical performance of PUBG on Xbox One is infamous for its problems. That isn't to say that the PC version is that much better, with PUBG Corp. making a very explicit pledge to "Fix PUBG money guide|Https://pubgfrontierzone.com/. " To add to the developer's problem, the recently-ended beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's battle royale mode , called Blackout , was generally well-received - fans likened it to a more polished take on PUBG -style gameplay. Unlike Epic Games and Treyarch, the studios behind Fortnite and Blackout , respectively, PUBG Corp. is no triple-A studio with as big of a budget. However, the gaming community takes an eventual official announcement of **PUBG ** on PlayStation 4, it could very well be worthwhile for those PS4 players to see where the battle royale craze began in the first pl
