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
Moving forward, Kim hopes to start an official conversation between Bluehole and Epic Games. He again stated that this entire situation is only a problem because Epic Games makes the engine Bluehole uses, and that the developer pays "a large amount of royalties" to Epic Games. "We had this business relationship and we had trust that we would be getting continued support, and we were looking forward to working more closely with them to get technical support, maybe develop new features," stated Kim. "Our name was used to officially promote their game without our knowledge. There was no discussion. It was just a bit surprising and disappointing to see our business partner using our name officially to promote the game mode that is pretty similar to us and there was misunderstanding in the community that we're officially involved in the proje
Kim added that Bluehole simply wished that Epic Games would have approached them first, given the close working dynamic they had together with support for 100-player sessions in PUBG . According to Kim, Bluehole felt that going to Epic Games for support allowed the Epic Games to then understand how to "develop new features or improve something in the engine to support that battle royale gameplay , and then use it for their own game mode" rather than continue a working relationship with Bluehole and PU
Update: Chang Han Kim, Vice President and Executive Producer for Bluehole, Inc., said the following in an official press release sent out September 22, 2017 regarding Fortnite allegedly copying core elements of PUBG's mode, structure, etc. (and releasing is so much quick
Tencent didn't reveal which mobile platforms it's bringing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to, though one has to imagine that both Android and iOS devices will be represented. Tencent also didn't reveal how PUBG would be altered for it to work on a mobile platform, but fans should expect more details on that front in the coming months. While Tencent was light on details when it comes to its PUBG mobile port, it did confirm that this version of the game would be released in China fi
Margenau’s right, voting for the game won’t make it come any faster. What’s the point of that category anyway? A more accurate name may be "Upcoming Game with the Best Marketing." Red Dead Redemption II is on there and all we’ve seen of it is a single teaser trailer. But you could make a similar argument for every category. Does anyone know what the qualifications are for Trending Gamer? The Best Esports Game category doesn’t contain a single game released in the year 2017, and speaking of eSports, there isn’t a single female nomination for Best Esports Player, Presented by Omen and
Still, for a sample understanding of why the game has been all the rage on PC, the Xbox version does at least show what it's like to drop in amongst so many other players with nothing but your wits, skills, and ability to manage the worst shooter mechanics imaginable. If you're okay with most aspects of the game being sub-par, you can still get in on a big battle royale experience, we just can't recommend it in its current state. Fortnite , although a very different kind of 100-person battle royale, is not only polished, but free-to-play as an alternat
It is a smart move by Epic Games to release Fortnite: Battle Royale before pubg Money Guide can get to consoles. It gives console owners the ability to play a battle royale game for free, and since the original Fortnite has received a pretty positive reception, fans familiar with the franchise name will be more willing to pick it
On top of the mobile game and the landmark PC release, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is also scheduled to make its console debut sooner rather than later. As announced at E3 earlier this year, PUBG is releasing in early access as an Xbox One console exclusive on December 12th. Out of all the versions of the game, it will be interesting to see which one becomes the most popular when it's all said and d
A few weeks ago, Epic Games announced that their base building and wave-killing game Fortnite was receiving a Battle Royale mode. This mode is influenced by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ) , pitting 100 players against each other on a large map with the winner being the last player left alive. Just yesterday, however, Epic Games has revealed that this mode will be released as its own game, titled **Fortnite: Battle Royale ** , and it will be free-to-p
