PUBG Creator Responds To Battlefield Battle Royale Announcement

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


PUBG 's Event Pass is, it seems, exactly the same as a standard Battle Pass. All PUBG players can complete daily, weekly, and event-exclusive challenges to level up their Event Pass. After earning certain levels, free DLC like clothing and weapon skins will unlock and a premium version of the Event Pass will unlock more faster. Players will have around four weeks to complete each Event Pass and can upgrade from the free version to the premium version at any time to unlock any DLC associated with their earned lev


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. While it's unfortunate that the feature is not working the way Bluehole Studio intended, at least the developer is offering additional XP for players' troubles. Those interested can find the company's details for PUBG 's bonus XP event be


PUBG_Riggles gets to the heart of the matter, even admitting that the constant faucet of new crates and cosmetics releasing while game-breaking bugs remain unattended to is a terrible look. It sounds like PUBG Corp. is indeed building out its development team to tend to these pressing matters, but he also insists that the crates aren’t going anywhere, as they remain central to the continued monetization of the game. While this might not be what many players want to hear, the honesty coming from PUBG Corp. is, at least, somewhat refresh


As to be expected, many fans of both PUBG and Battlefield responded to the tweet. In particular, many people made jokes about the ongoing lawsuit between PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale , suggesting that Battlefield developer DICE is about to get sued


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


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


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


Although the so-called original battle royale game has managed to weather this particular storm (so far, at least) will it be able to outlast another attack from another major player? Only time will tell, but the tweet from PlayerUnknown makes it very clear: the pubg walkthrough development team will be watching the developments surrounding Battlefield V very, very clos


Taking all of this into account, it will be interesting to see if Bluehole Studio will be able to successfully implement a permanent Event Pass for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds thanks to the data and feedback it received during its initial limited-time launch. 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


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
