Although **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** is still trailing Fortnite in terms of players, Brendan ‘PlayerUnknown’ Greene is still pushing forward with Sanhok and hopes to keep cashing in on the seemingly never-ending battle royale hype. Players are now subject to gambling-style loot boxes, real-money purchases for things like parachutes or on the Xbox One version, certain cosmetics, real-money purchases for season pass, all on top of the retail price for the game which still doesn’t run too smoothly. That su
Just logging in to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds every day isn’t a simple thing to do for a lot of people. And according to the early discussion, it takes anywhere between 2-8 hours of playing just to earn all of that day’s experience. It’s rather audacious ask of PUBG C
According to the announcement from PUBG Corp., all content earned through the Event Pass can’t be traded or sold. It’s unclear if the Event Pass will tie into the Crate system at all, either by rewarding Crates, Keys, or currency, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it
The Los Angeles expo has reined supreme as one of the year’s largest, priciest, and most-watched events for its major gaming industry reveals and teases. Originally, E3 was understood primarily as an insider event for press and publishers in the gaming industry but, as of recently, the convention has opened its doors to the public, with special “Gamer Passes” made available to unaffiliated consumers excited for the demo stations, booths, special events, and more.

Rigney acknowledges that the Erangel map, PUBG ‘s first map, is a combination of store-bought assets and in-house content. He then said that the Miramar desert map was also built with a combination of in-house content and store-bought assets, though it used less pre-made assets than Erangel. “As our in-house art teams built Miramar, they began to rely less on store-bought assets, although they continued to use them strategically, because it just doesn’t make sense to build everything in the game world yourse
E3 2018 is almost here, and leaks are starting to trickle out in advance of the massive gaming expo.

The Battle Pass feature is an increasingly popular alternative to other forms of DLC microtransactions for “Games as a Service” titles. It’s not as expensive as splitting DLC up into individual pieces and is not as predatory as Loot Boxes, since there’s no RNG.

The event pass was put in place after developers decided against DLC content, saying they didn’t want to divide gamers into the “haves” and the “have-nots.” Ultimately, pubg online guide is still asking players to part with their hard-earned cash and has done nothing to address its sluggish and punishing progression system. Adding to this the unfair odds of the loot boxes (which they’re also charging for to unlock) and PUBG will need to do more than introduce a new map to win over its crit
