Perhaps a long-overdue revamp of the game's original map will help entice players back, even if it's for nostalgia's sake. A new version of PUBG 's first map, Erangel, has been in the works since March of this year, and developer PUBG Corp released a video earlier today showcasing the progress that's been made. It's less noticeable than its counterparts because PUBG has always had a more realistic presentation, but there are some clear graphical updates that make the map much more visually appealing, even if it does suffer from the traditional browns, greens, and greys aesthetic that many apocalypse-inspired shooters embr

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

PUBG will be on PS4 almost a full year after the game released as a console exclusive on the Xbox One in an early access form. Before coming to consoles, PUBG was primarily played on PC, with a separate free-to-play mobile version releasing in early 2018. While PUBG gained praise and several accolades after its release, the game has since been overtaken by Fortnite in terms of concurrent players , with competition emerging from the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has finally revealed the cost of its hotly anticipated crossover with the DC Universe, but the _PUBG x Suicide Squad event isn't the smash hit fans of the game were hoping for. The PUBG Joker & Harley Quinn skins cost a total of $45 USD combined, which has prompted an extremely negative response from the game's commun

Shockingly, the test did not go well for Apex Legends . The test was conducted on the PC version of each of these games at multiple times in the day between two players on the same server with a ping of about 25 milliseconds each. At the end of the day, Apex Legends featured the highest amount of network delay (highest, shortest, and average numbers) between the damage, gunfire, and movement categories. Black Ops 4 's Blackout followed next with slightly better numbers but overall much higher than what would be considered normal. Fortnite ultimately came back with the smallest network lag numbers with both Ring of Elysium and PUBG close beh

For PS4 owners, this announcement may be too little, too late. Owners of other platforms have been able to enjoy PUBG for almost two years at this point, and since then, the battle royale itch has been scratched by the free-to-play Fortnite and Call of Duty's "Blackout" mode. It certainly doesn't help that the word of mouth on the Xbox One's technical performance has been largely negative, with graphical issues and choppy frame rates being cited by players. Despite enthusiasm from Sony and PUBG Corp., it is difficult to determine just what audience this release is

Unfortunately, things don't seem to be getting any better in the land of Pubg Missions|https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ , as Game Revolution reports the Joker skin will reportedly run players $20 while Harley Quinn is $25. That isn't even for dead-on representations of those two characters as they appear in Suicide Squad , either - the skins are costume sets, so they merely alter the player's model to look mostly like the character they've chosen. Needless to say, fans are disappointed by the high cost of the costume packs, which can be bought individually for equally unsettling prices. Fans who just want to purchase Joker's makeup, for instance, will still need to shell out $5, while Harley Quinn's bat is

One user, a YouTuber known as Battle(non)sense, analyzes and tests the more technical aspects of popular video games like the netcode, then posting the results to their channel. With a glut of popular battle royale games currently available, the user took it upon themselves to test out the most popular ones including Ring of Elysium , Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , Fortnite , PUBG , and Apex Legends . Battle(non)sense ultimately tested network delay for all of these games and went a step further by comparing a set list of netcode related features they of

The Rajkot Special Operations Group (SOG) have been enforcing the law, but those breaking it are not hiding their crimes very well. Three youths were arrested near the police headquarters. SOG police inspector Rohit Raval stated, "This game is highly addictive and the accused were so engrossed in playing them that they could not even notice our team approaching them." He goes on to state that they had their mobile phones seized "for the purpose of the investigati

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
