Instead of transferring the PC experience as closely as possible to console, since this isn't working as is, a new control scheme and some changes to the map perhaps could have helped alongside the obviously much-needed optimization. PUBG Guide is a large, complex beast of a game mode, and as something relatively poorly coded even in its prime version, it's not an easy thing that should be rushed as an Xbox exclusive. I'd take Minecraft graphics if this thing just ran well and played w
The most popular PC shooter of the year, and one of the most streamed games online, is finally available on consoles and wow, the devs can take this one back. **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** released on the Xbox One family of consoles yesterday as part of the Game Preview (early access) program and it's awkwardly bad, a result of an extremely rushed production by the developers with the help of Microsoft so Xbox could have a notable exclusive out just in time for the holid
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
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
Since Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn't require any money up front, it immediately brings up some concern over whether or not it will be "pay to win." However, Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions that allow players to buy better guns than their opponents. As detailed in a blog post on Epic's official website, paid items are planned to be "cosmetics or compendium-like content." Also, those who purchased Fortnite between September 12-19 are eligible to receive a refund, since Battle Royale was originally announced as part of the main g
Bluehole, the developer behind PC-gaming sensation PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ), has launched the site for its upcoming MMORPG title, **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The studio has set high expectations for itself with the runaway success of PUBG, which has consistently been among Twitch's most-streamed and most-watched games since its early-access release last Ma
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
As one might expect, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' latest patch on Xbox One not only incorporates the long-awaited First Person Perspective mode, but it also improves client and server performance, while also bringing fixes to crashes. Naturally, these are incredibly important refinements to be made, but the FPP mode will be the main draw for many fans of PU
The Game Awards , created and hosted by video game personality Geoff Keighley, can be viewed as either the definitive award ceremony for video games, or as one big marketing event. Either way, the 2017 Game of the Year nominees have been announced, and they’re pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Still, despite the lack of surprise, that hasn’t stopped many from arguing over what should or shouldn’t have been nomina
At the moment, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' FPP mode is only available to be played solo on Xbox One, with group servers likely to be added at some point in the future. As of now, FPP servers for the console version of PUBG will be deployed in North America, Europe, and Ocea
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
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
