PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8x8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4's capabilit

Starting off each round, players are flown to the battlegrounds in a huge aircraft carrier that takes a random path across the huge maps and gives players the chance to jump out and parachute to their starting location. This moment alone marks a big point where players will have to strategize, whether they decide to jump from the plane early and (usually) wind up in a bloodbath of other players trying to scrounge for weapons and ammo, or taking more remote paths to other parts of the island that could make survival easier, but potentially put the player at a disadvantage as far as outpacing some of the game's environmental hazards, such as supply drops and random bombing r

Even though I've only put a few hours into Battlegrounds at this point since jumping in, I can already see it as a title that I'll more than likely come back to in the coming months. With rounds that usually extend for me around 20-30 minutes (if I don't get killed right from the get-go), the game has drawn in me like few others ever have, much less any type of survival sim or Early Access game before it, and most of that comes down to its incredibly streamlined sense of survival at play, and how it draws players together in a fight to the finish. To say Battlegrounds is exhilarating is an understatement: even in its earliest state right now, I've kept coming back to the game night after night because it's gotten my blood pumping like few other games have in the past few ye

According to the post from PUBG Corps, the new update will be applied today to the game's test server, and will move over to the live servers at a later time once the patch is stabilized and and tested among the playerb

Since it debuted on Early Access last March and finally launched last month, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has shown little signs of slowing down with regular new updates and content being added, with PC players getting a new update on the hori

Arthur Morgan, the new central character of RDR2 isn’t mentioned in any significant way during the previous game, which seems like a plot hole. If he was such an integral senior member in the Van Der Linde gang, you’d think Marston would mention him, even in pass

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , for better and worse, is one of the most enjoyable multiplayer game experiences I've had in years. I've delved into plenty of multiplayer-focused games with friends over the past few years like Rocket League and Overwatch , but few have felt as tapped into the social aspects of gaming as PUBG has managed to provide. With well over 120 hours put into the game over the course of the year, it's already taken the mantle of the game that I put the most time into in 2017, and that's an especially impressive accomplishment given the astounding number of excellent games that this year provided us wi

With a name that strikes somewhere between wonderfully-bizarre and generically "video gamey," the indie hit sensation PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (aka PUBG ) has proven to be anything but generic in the past few months, where it went from being a relatively unknown title to one of the year's biggest breakout succes

In a lot of ways, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds feels like what we often see from "rags to riches" stories in movies, TV, books, and countless other mediums. Coming from a Korean studio with a name that's both unique and perplexingly bizarre, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (or known collectively as PUBG missions ) has gone from being a small, unheard-of entity to the breakout game of 2

As a genre that's only grown in popularity over the past few years, I've mostly found myself bouncing off most survival games for a combination of reasons. I've liked the style of We Happy Few , the Hunger Games -inspired carnage of The Culling , the man vs. nature atmosphere of The Long Dark , and several others in the past, but few have ever left their impression on me for more than a few hours, largely due to gameplay mechanics that I (often) don't quite mesh with fu

A large portion of that can be attributed to its incredible popularity with streamers on YouTube and Twitch , but even more of that can be given to the fact that, even in its Early Access state, Battlegrounds is an incredibly-nuanced multiplayer experience worth playing, even if survival/Early Access games aren't necessarily your thing. Take that recommendation from someone who - prior to Battlegrounds - wasn't exactly a fan of the rising "survival sim" genre (particularly on Steam) in the slight
