A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti

For competitive PUBG players, the team is already working on improving the current MMR ranking system and matchmaking. No forward-facing changes appear to be planned, like a reworked leaderboard system or publically-shared MMR, but maintaining a competitive environment is clearly still in PUBG Corps.’ periph

Taking all of this into consideration, it looks as if PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will not be region locking China any time soon in an effort to discourage cheaters. So, hopefully the aforementioned efforts on behalf of PUBG Corp. and Tencent will manage to stymie the unethical practice in the long run, if not end it altoget

There’s more than just two new 2018 maps in the works, though. PUBG Corp. is working on an all-new emote feature, replete with an emote wheel so players can bow, wave, dance, and taunt as necessary mid-game. New vehicles and weapons are in-development, including the FN FAL. And customization options will continue to be added throughout the year, including skins for parachutes and weap

The highly anticipated 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been delivered, detailing planned additions and changes for the battle royale game for the upcoming year. The lengthy roadmap broadly covers PUBG Corp.’s agenda, including forthcoming content additions, system reworks, and even thoughts regarding PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ eSports sc

Since PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds does sell loot crates – with some players also willing to pay excessive amounts of money for in-game cosmetics – some will also wonder whether PUBG deserves to be included in the pay-to-win deb

While some PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fans may disagree with Greene’s stance when it comes to the notion of region locking the game in China, it would be difficult for one to claim that PUBG Guide Corp. is not taking the issue of cheating seriously. After all, the development team behind the battle royale title has been steadily working on anti-cheat updates, introduced fresh rules in an effort to stop cheaters and unauthorized programs, and has banned more than one million players in the past for the offe

Not all content will be entirely new; much of what’s planned for 2018 will be reworked content currently in the game, some of which has been long-requested by the PUBG player base. Of special interest are reworked parachuting and unarmed melee combat systems, both of which have been heavily criticized. Even larger is an overhaul of the entire Third Person and First Person mode animation system to increase smoothness and reactiveness, including new animations for switching car seats or entering a vehi

While the lawsuit is one to watch given that it could have significant implications regarding other PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds clones, this isn’t the only reason why people are talking about it. In an excerpt of the lawsuit, PUBG Corp. also admits that the game’s cosmetics affect gameplay. The quote from the developer re

Ever since its inception, the development team behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been trying to thwart cheating as much as possible, with one attempt being in the addition of reporting aspects to the game, including the somewhat recently incorporated 3D killcams and replay features . Furthermore, PUBG Corp. has, as Greene suggested to US Gamer, implemented “anti-cheating testing internally” with the company “working to build systems to really get a handle on the guys that don’t want to play fa

“We just implemented ping-based matchmaking which really has improved the gameplay experience for a lot of players. It’s working out quite well and we’re still doing research. We have the data team looking into it and trying to improve it. And that’s the goal with the game, to keep improving it over this year and the next year and the next ten yea

The developer goes on to note that in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , players must “visually detect” other players because of the lack of player indicators seen in other shooter games. PUBG Corp. is using this particular section of the lawsuit to assert that games like Rules of Survival have also ripped off the style of cosmetics offered by PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds . These cosmetic similarities, the developer appears to suggest, should be taken seriously because they actively impact the core, PUBG gameplay experience. It also argues that the visual design of these cosmetics is a “protectable” w
