Over the past year or so, it's become clear that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been a huge influence on gaming in general, with its 100-player Battle Royale mechanic leading to games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's Battle Royale modes. With the recent release of PUBG 's mobile version, the title is even managing to keep some semblance of pace with Fortnite , which eventually blasted past it in terms of Twitch presence on a platform formerly dominated by PUBG 's biggest streamers - but they are looking to change that going forw

Sanhok started out life as a shrunken 4x4 map codenamed "Savage." Scaling back from the usual 8x8 size of original map Erangel and the desert-based Miramar, players have been enjoying the confined spaces and challenge of a smaller and more fast-paced locale. Although Sanhok isn't live yet in visit the site main game, PUBG has been slowly opening up more of its secrets with each PC test period. As well as adding more detail and buildings with each update, fans have noticed more important changes - just like the golden chests. Whatever these chests are will continue being a secret for now, but everyone is praying that it is something more interesting than just another loot box debacle . PUBG is one of the major games still doing random pay-for loot boxes and it's one of the reasons Fortnite is going to continue killing

As Fornite has grabbed headlines over the past few weeks with comet strikes and a dancing Thanos , it has sometimes been easy to forget that PUBG exists if you were to just follow the buzz. Keen to grab the limelight once more and taking yet another page from its rival, the grittier shooter is playing Fornite at its own game as PC users test out a new map with a hidden sec

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is taking a page from its competitors' playbooks this time around. PUBG Corp. announced on Tuesday the upcoming implementation of a Battle Pass system on PC, a day after implementing a similar-yet-different system on mobile. Rebranded as Event Passes, PUBG 's system will offer new opportunities at in-game content apart from the current Loot Crate system. Event Passes will launch hand-in-hand with the Sanhok map on June

The post reminds PUBG players that this is the first time a balance patch like this has been introduced and that it will be trialed on the test servers before going live. Weapon attachments will undergo similar changes, although the post doesn't reveal exactly how the armory will be affected. Elsewhere, the lauded level three helmets are being confined solely to supply drops. Effectively an extra life to players, the level three helmet was crucial in protecting your head from those sniper sh

The developers behind **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** detailed a new update and admitted to players that they have dropped the ball over the past year. In posts on both the Steam Community forum and subreddit for the game, PUBG ’s developers addressed a number of issues, including concerns regarding loot boxes and continued flow of randomized cosmetics being a priority for the stu

Either way, players can't interact with the chests (yet), meaning the latest addition is nothing more than a golden easter egg right now. It is likely that the chests will eventually open to reveal something big, but on the other hand, Bluehole could simply be trolling gamers as a nod to Fortnite 's treasure chests. It may be a way to bury the hatchet between the two studios, but it would undoubtedly leave players miffed that the chests turn out to be a Pulp Fiction -style McGuf

Twitch streamer Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek has been temporarily banned after playing **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** with a hacker.

After months of waiting, **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** is finally releasing the full version of its Sanhok map on June 22. Coming exclusively to the PC version of the game, PUBG 's third map will be 1/4 the size of the other two, which makes it conveniently close to the dimensions of Fortnite .

According to Kotaku , Grzesiek has been given a month long ban due to a clip where he and fellow streamer Wadu were joined by a hacker. In the circulating video, the hacker sends cars flying around them, creating barriers, later using one of the cars to carry the duo to the next playzone. Grzesiek scores a kill after being alerted to another player hiding in a nearby house. At one point, he states "I’m getting banned," not that the possibility appears to put a damper on his m
