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
(Image: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lKvQ1Y9ql4o/hq720.jpg)As people have been quick to note, the Ghillie suit is available to all PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds players for free. Many players also rush to find it in pockets of loot across the map because of its effectiveness and so the suggestion that the Ghillie suit is a useful cosmetic is not necessarily news. But this section of the lawsuit does raise a larger question about how cosmetic loot can affect gameplay even if it doesn't provide any discernible buffs to attributes and st
Some of the PUBG team recently took a trip to South East Asia in order to draw inspiration from its unique geography. One location in particular, the Phraya Nakhon cave near Bankok, Thailand, will be serving as the primary inspiration for the cave system being implemented into the map. As seen in the image above, the cave looks like a giant hole in the gro
Since then however, a team of its devs went to Thailand for some inspiration and are taking player feedback, their own ideas, and things they see into consideration for evolving this new map. That's the main benefit of getting Savage playable super early before it's really built
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 guide gameplay experience. It also argues that the visual design of these cosmetics is a “protectable” w
Bloomberg 's Yufi Nakamura reports that PUBG has hit over 30 million in sales on PC (as of the time of this writing), with an addition 4 million sales coming from the recent Xbox One release, thus bringing its total to over 34 mill
Content is king, so it should be no surprise that planned additions to the game were the most prominent part of the PUBG roadmap. First up is a brand new 4×4 kilometer map, a quarter of the size of Erangel and Miramar, designed for faster, action-packed rounds. This small map will come to a new Experimental Test Server in April, but a second, standard-sized 8×8 map is also in development for a 2018 release, but is not yet ready to be sh
Despite encountering a multitude of difficulties, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has managed to continually change and grow in the months since it exploded onto the gaming scene early last year. Just last weekend the game's developers implemented a new War mode that pitted three squads of ten players against each other. This new mode only lasted for the weekend, but PUBG Corp appears to have several other additions in the works that will help keep the game's community energi
According to numbers from SteamSpy , the total sales on PC are approximately 30,193,726 (give or take 167,538). Adding that number to the reported Xbox One sales, and PUBG currently sits in seventh place on the list of best-selling video games of all time with an estimated 34.193 million in sales. PUBG is blasting past titles such as New Super Mario Bros. and Wii Sports Resort , as well as classics like Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue . It's impressive considering that PUBG started out in early access and only recently hit version
Before we get to that however, this week PUBG Corp unveiled details for Patch #11 coming to test servers soon. This includes a few bug fixes, an interface update for tracking the starting plane's flight path, and - you guessed it - a new paid-for loot boxes for weapon skins called the “Equinox Crate.” In order to gamble on these crates, players must spend additional real money for a Weapon Skin Key and then hope for the best so they can get some value. Or just do
But as the tweet from Bloomberg's Nakamura points out, the number of concurrent players on PC peaked last month, and there has been a steady downward trend ever since. The Xbox One version is also known to have several technical issues, which may be scaring off some console-exclusive players from purchasing the game. So, while PUBG Corp. continues to crack down on cheaters, they will probably need more than just one new map to keep PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' player base satiated going forward, especially with more games adding their own battle royale modes to compete in the new mar
It's well known by now that _PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has left a massive dent in the video gaming industry - and now it's just how big that dent really is, seeing as the game has now broken into the top 10 best-selling video games of all time. The battle royale shooter from Bluehole ( which is now PUBG Corporation ) received various accolades and honors for 2017, and its success hasn't slowed down in 2018 so far, at least not with regard to sa
