A few days ago, it was announced that large Chinese video game publisher Tencent would be bringing the wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to China in an official capacity. Today the company announced that not only is it releasing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the region, it is also creating a mobile version of the g
PUBG , Https://Eeejp.com a game that still technically hasn't released, has broken several records on Steam . Most recently, PUBG broke Dota 2's record for the most concurrent players for a single game on Steam at 1,348,374. However, it has not reached consoles and is not planning to until it releases on Xbox One later this year. Fortnite: Battle Royale releasing in less than a week means that is the only game of this style (outside of a new mode in GTA Online ) for those without a
This isn't the first time that High Rez has been accused of ripping off popular game genres, either. Back when the game was first released, many claimed that it was a direct Overwatch rip-off , and there was even discussion of whether Blizzard could sue over how blatant it was. Similarly to the current situation, COO Todd Harris had to come out and defend Paladins , claiming that it wasn't a cl

Assuming the mobile port of PUBG is a success, the game will become a true powerhouse and has potential to break video game sales records. Alternatively, Tencent may opt to ditch PUBG 's initial asking price and make a profit using the game's loot box system and microtransactions. Either way, it's hard to see how a mobile version of PUBG won't be a big moneymaker for everyone invol
Paladins: Battlegrounds was announced yesterday and was met with immediate criticism from fans and critics alike. Many feel that, since the game will play so similarly to PUBG , High Rez should at least stay away from the "battlegrounds" moniker. In response to these claims, High Rez Studio's president Stew Chisam was interviewed yesterday, wherein he pushed back on all of them and claimed that the two games are "unrelat
Even with the millions of copies that PUBG has sold, the untapped console market is huge, with over 60 million PS4s sold, as well as over 33 million Xbox Ones. Of course, some console owners play on multiple platforms or just aren't interested in the battle royale genre, but with 93 million potential players, odds are that Fortnite: Battle Royale will be successful. On top of the user base, it is free-to-play and players are not required to own the original Fortnite game released earlier this y
Paladins: Battlegrounds will be available later this year, but if you want to play the original game to get used to the heroes you will play as, Paladins: Champions of the Realm is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox
Taking all of this into consideration, it's great to see Bluehole Studio bringing another feature that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans on both PC and Xbox One can enjoy. Without a doubt, the inclusion of the First Person Perspective mode on the console version of the game will help bring more attention to the title overall and potentially pull some Xbox fans away from their time with PUBG competitor Fortni
Without a doubt, one of the most popular features to be incorporated into the PC version of Bluehole Studio's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was the addition of a first-person mode , as it brought about a new layer of immersion into the game. Now, fans on Xbox One will be able to take part in the title's First Person Perspective (FPP) mode thanks to a brand new patch from the develo
Just last week in Fortnite , Epic Games "accidentally" allowed cross-platform multiplayer between PS4 and Xbox One users, but then patched out the feature since it isn't allowed by both Microsoft and Sony. Microsoft has been very open to cross-platform play, with the most recent example being that Minecraft players on Xbox One can play with those on PC and even Nintendo Switch. Sony, however, has refused to allow all cross-platform play except for PS4 and PC users. If Sony changes its mind, the community for Fortnite and Fortnite: Battle Royale could be h
If the mobile port of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is high quality, it's likely that the game will also make its way stateside and to other regions. After all, PUBG is one of the most popular video games currently available, shattering concurrent player records on Steam and selling over 20 million copies at last count. Considering its popularity, it would make sense for developer PUBG Corporation (a subsidiary of Bluehole) to bring it to as many platforms as possi
