Popular PUBG Streamer Shroud Banned After Playing With Hackers

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


Several weeks ago, Bluehole Studio officially put out a fresh Event Pass feature to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , but due to a lot of bugs, extended maintenance periods, and general instability, not every PUBG fan has been able to fully use the limited-time feature. With this being the case, the video game developer has decided to announce a bonus XP event as an apology of sorts to those who haven't been able to get their fill of the Event Pass due to errors on behalf of the stu


It's been a slow, but steady, decline for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' player count this year. By the end of February it had lowered to around 2.8 million, according to Steam Charts . In April, it finally sunk below the two million player mark, and it hasn't managed to rebound aside from one good weekend in early May. Now, it's finally below 1.5 million, and the trend continues downw


Premium Event Pass buyers don't have it much easier, but their experience cap is much higher and their rewards much more exciting. Players will still have to complete between eight or nine out of ten challenges to reach level


Because we’re steadily investing more and more in building our internal art teams (along with lots of other teams), Miramar used fewer external assets than Erangel, and Sanhok used fewer still. Our fourth map, the one coming out this winter, uses fewer still, but if we’re smart it’ll almost certainly still involve some mix of assets from different sources. This is a good th


The first thing to understand is that if you’re just starting up a team, you’ve got to lean on asset store work because that's the only way you can spin up a game fast, and for a reasonable price, to quickly find the fun. Hiring an art team of 40 people to "try a game" and "see if it's fun" is simply not a smart way to work—this is what the asset store is for! It’s a great resource for teams that want to work sm


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


Now that the Sanhok Event Pass is available in-game, players are able to measure exactly how much they need to accomplish in order to progress in the Pass. All challenges, as well as other sources of experience, are available to see and draw conclusions from. And the results are quite disappointing, especially for those who don't want to spend the $9.99 Event Pass price up fr

There is no denying that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has been hurt by the success of Epic Games' _Fortnite , and once players look at the actual numbers, they are pretty damning. Despite popularizing the Battle Royale genre, the shooter game has seen its player count dip by over 50% since the beginning of the year. In January, PUBG managed to peak at over 3.2 million concurrent players. Less than half a year later, and Bluehole's marquee title is averaging just over 1.4 million users da


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


Some posts on Reddit agree with him in saying PUBG had it coming. Others say the real problem is that Grzesiek’s punishment isn’t really punishment at all. After watching its player count plummet early this year and continue to dwindle, PUBG wouldn’t want to risk losing one of its star players. While PUBG faces backlash for the discrepancy between how it doles out punishments, Grzesiek doesn’t appear to be affected by the temporary ban. He has begun training for Rainbow Six Siege , a game whose popularity has grown in recent months while PUBG walkthrough’s continues to shrink. Since he hasn’t met a shooter he can’t master, Grzesiek can switch his sights to another game, secure in the knowledge that he’ll continue creating great footage for his f


It's unlikely that "a little more wiggle room" will make the grind any less frustrating for players, but in all fairness, the Event Pass is still a new way to earn free content. Not every game offers free paths towards new content but unfortunately for PUBG , its biggest competitors do have battle pass systems . Oh, and not so coincidentally, PUBG Corp. is also selling five levels on the Event Pass for an additional $4
