Developer Studio Wildcard would later introduce a battle royale mode in the form of Survival of the Fittest.

The game's monetization model involves selling premium currency that can be spent on (very expensive) premium character and weapon skins, and the game's loot boxes (called Nintendo Switch 2 Apex Packs). The Apex Packs contain everything from skins, to emotes, lines of dialogue for characters, and scrap that can be used to craft cosmetics not yet acquired.

In the future, there will be battle passes for seasons (taking from the Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege playbook) that last three months where limited time cosmetics can be earned or purcha

While Fortnite has introduced vehicles in the game to make traversing the map easier, the vehicles have been met with criticism. There are some cool ideas, like the hamster ball that will be appearing soon, but ultimately the vehicles give a huge advantage that many have deemed unf

PUBG had its fair share of flaws over the years, namely with graphical issues, but it has since ironed them out. PUBG did lose a lot of its players to other battle royale games, but it is quickly rising upward to claim its old spot on the gaming throne ag
