Massive PUBG PC Patch Goes Live This Week

PUBG Corp also recently provided some insight about its plans for the game's Savage map, saying "we have months of work left to do," but describing the map's defining feature: an underground cave system. Unfortunately, players will have to wait a little bit longer to see this map in action, as it won't be hitting the game in this upd


In a community announcement on Steam , PUBG revealed what makes Sanhok different to its larger rivals and what gamers can expect when they explore the dense jungles and forgotten temples of Southeast Asia. A big draw is the fact that loot will spawn more frequently than on the Erangel and Mirimar maps and there is a brand new weapon fighting the SCAR-L rifle for fan-favorite status. New to Sanhok is the QBZ95, an assault rifle with 5.56mm rounds that can hold up to 40 rounds. That isn't all that's new with the latest update tho


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' next big update, Patch 12 , will be arriving on live servers on PC soon. The patch will go live Thursday after four hours of maintenance that will start at 7:00 p.m. on May 2. The update will also reset the leaderboards and the new season will begin when maintenance e

Rigney explained that the team had to rely on store-bought assets at first, as that was the only way to create the game fast and find what made it fun. It wouldn't make sense, Rigney claims, to start with an art team of 40 people to create assets for a game before the development team even knows if the concept is going to be fun or


Twitch streamer Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek has been temporarily banned after playing **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** with a hacker. The original stream is no longer available, but clips captured by fans continue to spread across social media. The video has reignited the ongoing debate among players about PUBG’s hacker problem. The community finds itself split on whether clips of top players working with hackers calls attention to flaws within the game or if the players are using their popularity to get away with cheat


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


The event pass was put in place after developers decided against DLC content, via Pubgstation saying they didn't want to divide gamers into the "haves" and the "have-nots." Ultimately, PUBG is still asking players to part with their hard-earned cash and has done nothing to address its sluggish and punishing progression system. Adding to this the unfair odds of the loot boxes (which they're also charging for to unlock) and PUBG will need to do more than introduce a new map to win over its crit


It's also unclear how this ban will impact Shroud's upcoming appearance on PUBG's Squad Showdown on July 13, an event PUBG Corp is hosting with Twitch Prime in commemoration of Amazon's Prime Day (Twitch is owned by Amazon). Shroud was slated to play in the showdown alongside several other top Twitch streamers, but this temporary ban may put a halt to t


The Battle Pass feature is an increasingly popular alternative to other forms of DLC microtransactions for "Games as a Service" titles. It's not as expensive as splitting DLC up into individual pieces and is not as predatory as Loot Boxes, since there's no RNG. The trade-off is that Battle Passes require a lot of time investment to earn everything, and even then players might not level a Pass up high enough to get everything. For most players, however, that risk is more than worth the benef

With Sanhok's smaller scale, matches are expected to be quicker and a dynamic weather system promises to cause trouble as PUBG whittles its 100 players down to one lucky winner. Sanhok has already been live on the test servers through four testing periods, but the time has come for its general release as developers promise yet more changes to what the test gamers have already s


Rigney went on to assure fans that the most recent map, the Sanhok jungle map, was made with even less pre-made assets, and that the upcoming winter map , will have an even higher ratio of original cont


As mentioned, the Event Pass will be exclusive to the PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the time being. Though it's expected to be ported to Xbox One down the line. An alternative version is already available on PUBG Mobile , as the Royale Pass system launched yesterday. The Royale Pass is also a typical Battle Pass, though it rewards Crate Currency whereas the Event Pass appears to be distancing itself from Crates as much as possi


The Battle Pass system is an extremely popular feature used in games including both Fortnite and Paladins . Each Pass is time-limited, requiring players to complete assorted in-game challenges to level up their Pass and unlock new content. Some content is available to all players, but a majority of the content is locked behind a premium version of the P
