If it does get incorporated correctly down the line, the feature could give PUBG a better shot at expanding its current 400 million-plus player ba

They say that all's fair in love and war, so PUBG is here to remind its players just that. According to PUBG Corp. on Steam , a new update is coming to PUBG that will tweak some of the game's biggest draws and weaknesses. According to the post, the main aim is to level the playing field when it comes to the battle royale's weap

It's nice to see PUBG Mobile 's developers feed some new modes into the game as well as make adjustments and improvements. With a few smart gameplay tweaks compared to the main game, PUBG Mobile quickly became one of the more popular battle royale mobile games at launch. Maybe the main game can even learn a thing or two from its mobile counterp

For those who have been out of the loop with the latest on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , the Event Pass was originally meant to be a way for players to track progress made in-game – in a similar vein to Fortnite 's Battle Pass – and earn exclusive loot outside of the standard crate system.

According to a recent post on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' official Steam page, Bluehole Studio made sure to acknowledge its failings during the Event Pass' availability by referring to all of the problems it encountered, and promised that "these issues will all be taken into consideration during future content planning."

Both Bluehole and Epic Games had worked together in the past, but that relationship was damaged once the latter launched Fortnite 's battle royale mode back in September of last year.
