The latest developer letter on Steam is focused on the game's optimizations as well as its new map Sanhok (formerly known under its code name "Savage"), which will include new vehicles and even an exclusive weapon. Free updates are all well and good, but the studio's communications lead PUBG_Riggles took to Reddit to speak about PUBG 's loot boxes . People don't want them, pubg vehicles has them, and they’ve been a persistent focus for the game’s development while optimization issues, cheaters, and other nasty bits of business have seemingly warranted more attention than they’ve received. This has not gone unnoticed by the game’s massive community, which boasts over 600,000 subscribers to the official subred

While a lot of the games listed are ones that Sony has been teasing for years (and still haven't released), the biggest news here is arguably Bloodborne 2 , which has become one of From Software's biggest titles outside of the core Dark Souls series. The game received overwhelming praise when it released in 2015, and fans have been wanting a sequel ever since. Plus, there's the long-rumored Devil May Cry 5 and SOCOM: Coalition , as well as a BioShock PSVR title on the

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

As PUBG and Fortnite continue to duke it out at the top, let's not forget that other battle royale titles are out there vying for the attention of players too. The likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V are introducing battle royale modes, so there is some stiff competition for **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** . For the time being though, let's let Greene and the company bask in their success of 227 million players each month and a supersized sales figure on PC and X

The event pass was put in place after developers decided against DLC content, 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

E3 2018 is almost here, and leaks are starting to trickle out in advance of the massive gaming expo. The rumor flames have now been stoked by an anonymous contributor on 4chan, and they’ve revealed what’s purportedly a photo of the internally distributed PlayStation E3 schedule, which lists a series of the highly-anticipated trailers and reveals that will be emerging from E3 2

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ creator Brendan Greene aka PlayerUnknown never expected the Battle Royale shooter to become such a huge hit for his team at Bluehole, but with success comes pressure. PlayerUnknown recently spoke out bout the side-effects of creating such a popular game. Greene stated that he knows his follow-up project isn't going to become as much of a cultural milestone, and that it's " _probably going to get s*** o

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

However, the facts remain: Fortnite is here, free-to-play, and, unlike its Battle Royale inspiration, doesn’t include any " gambling " for skins. PUBG , on the other hand, features randomized crates earned through regular play, with premium crates unlockable by keys. Those keys need to be purchased with real money, which leaves players unwilling to buy them, which leaves the option of either keeping unopened crates inert in their inventory or selling them on the Steam marketplace. These mechanics foster an elaborate economy, generating a system which fuels continued income to the game. On the other hand, it also creates undue frustration for many of its players, all of whom have already spent money to purchase the game in the first place and feel put off by microtransacti

The developers behind **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** detailed a new update and admitted to players that they have dropped the ball over the past year. In posts on both the Steam Community forum and subreddit for the game, PUBG ’s developers addressed a number of issues, including concerns regarding loot boxes and continued flow of randomized cosmetics being a priority for the stu

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
