Specifically, Greene clarified with the game's new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd

Sure, I've had plenty of my share of games that ended hilariously early, whether they were from my own poor choices or just getting dealt a bad hand as far as my starting location and what weapons were available to me. But more often than not, I've had just as many (or more) matches where I just happened to land in a zone of the map with a wealth of ammo and weapons to use to my benefit, or found myself in a path where I was able to keep up with the shrinking blue circle at a quicker pace than my enem

Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka "PlayerUnknown") outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game. Specifically, these include a new car horn feature when driving vehicles, the addition of first-person only servers for the game in Solo and Duo game types for North America and Europe, support for the Xbox One controller, new weapons and character customization options, and much m

Still a sore spot amongst PC gamers is the fact that the previous game was only ever out on consoles. People couldn’t understand why Rockstar wouldn’t tap into that vast market, although most people theorize it was due to the incredible difficulties the programmers had coding the g

Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl

After landing, players must then scavenge the environments and abandoned houses nearby to pull together weapons, ammo, and other equipment that will ensure their survival against the 99 other players and try to be the last one standing (resulting in winning the game's signature "chicken dinner" ). While the basic strategies and how the matches play out start off fairly similar, Battlegrounds proves to be anything but familiar as every match can play out radically different and unexpected at virtually every t

Adjusted squad team colors to make them more consistent between different colorblind options

Recently there was a treasure hunt of sorts inside of Grand Theft Auto: Online , the end result of which was getting a golden double revolver as well as some cash. Turns out there is also a way of having that prize carry over into RDR2 , which is a cool little bo

Part of that comes from the twists and turns that Battlegrounds implements to keep the action focused and the dynamics of each match constantly evolving. Aside from other players, one of the biggest threats that players will have to face throughout the entire match is an electric forcefield that constricts the playable areas of the Troi Map Guide gradually, which works to both prevent camping or cheesing the game mechanics, and to push players into tighter fields of play and encourage confrontation. That also goes for the game's occasional airstrikes (the "red zones" on the map) that drop lethal bombs on unsuspecting players, and passing planes that can also drop supply care-packages that contain some of the game's best weapons and gear for players that get lucky. Better yet, the care packages also offer a chance for crafty players to use them as bait and pick off those that aren't paying attention to their surroundi

Likewise, the actual design and visuals of PUBG are equally a mixed bag. Character models in particular take on some odd qualities and though players can customize them to their liking, they aren't exactly stellar looking and the cosmetic options that the game provides (even with loot crates and microtransactions) are limited, at best. The maps are perhaps my favorite aspect of the game's aesthetic as their vast draw distance and varied terrains are impressive, other than the occasional low-res textures or copy-pasted building and town layo

Pushing past six million copies in the past few weeks, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has dominated the Steam charts throughout this year alongside continued monthly updates, with the game's upcoming August updates to be one of its most expansive
