PUBG Mobile Update Adds Arcade Mode Training Grounds And More

It is still a two-horse race between PUBG and Fortnite , but with the latter's recent release on Switch and also heading for Android, the colorful Fortnite is edging ahead of PUBG 's more realistic backdrop. Thankfully, PUBG has a trick up its sleeve with the new Sanhok map. Getting a game-wide release on June 22, Sanhok - a mix of the Thai word "fun" and "chicken" - will join fan-favoite maps Erangel and Miramar but add a taste of Southeast Asia. Elsewhere, PUBG confirmed it will be getting a snow-capped winter map later this year as w

One of the new features hitting the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is Arcade, which is a 28-player mode that can be played solo or with friends. Each match randomly selects one of six possible variations, adding a bit of a twist on the gameplay. For example, one variation limits the weapon selection to a specific type, while another grants players access to all weapons and items. The six variations are Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, All Weapons, Melee, Pistols, and Item Hea


The post describes how the developers have been taking serious efforts to ensure that cheating and hacking are rooted out from the game and divulge that they have added new anti-cheat solutions to the game its


However, the Pubg guide player base has already been heavily impacted by the stratospheric rise of Fortnite Battle Royale, a game which has won celebrity endorsements, celebrations from professional athletes, and multiple national news segments about its impact on children. Battlefield V isn't the only major rival either, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's Blackout battle royale mode also posing a threat. Moreover, these games will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, whereas PUBG is only available on PC and Xbox


"We’re genuinely humbled by PUBG’s ongoing success and growth, and we’re incredibly optimistic about the game’s future. We’re going to keep working on new content and improvements for all versions of the game. We know there’s still so much we can do to make PUBG a better game for our playe


As to be expected, many fans of both PUBG and Battlefield responded to the tweet. In particular, many people made jokes about the ongoing lawsuit between PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale , suggesting that Battlefield developer DICE is about to get sued


Not long after the Battlefield V battle royale announcement was made, Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fame, took to Twitter to respond. In all caps lock, the famed game developer sent the Battlefield Twitter account a public message, welcoming the "old friend" to the battle royale c

Although the so-called original battle royale game has managed to weather this particular storm (so far, at least) will it be able to outlast another attack from another major player? Only time will tell, but the tweet from PlayerUnknown makes it very clear: the PUBG development team will be watching the developments surrounding Battlefield V very, very clos


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


As mentioned, the Event Pass will be exclusive to the PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the time being. Though it's expected to be ported to Xbox One down the line. An alternative version is already available on PUBG Mobile , as the Royale Pass system launched yesterday. The Royale Pass is also a typical Battle Pass, though it rewards Crate Currency whereas the Event Pass appears to be distancing itself from Crates as much as possi


There are many banes to any competitive game's longevity, but none are more annoying than cheaters. In a game where skill and ability should determine outcomes, the presence of aimbots or other cheating devices can seriously ruin the reputation and player base of a multiplayer game. Developers of PUBG are recognizing that fact and have recently released an update to their Steam page regarding their anti-cheating measures, which you can read in full he


While it might seem odd to celebrate such a monumental sales figure by reducing the price on Steam, it makes sense when looking at those 400 million downloads. Although 50 million copies have been bought for Windows PC and Xbox, that means the other 350 million were downloaded for free on either Android or


The developers have also added a Training Grounds mode to PUBG Mobile . The Training Grounds mode is only available for solo players, allowing them to practice with weapons and items on their own before jumping into a match with oth

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is taking a page from its competitors' playbooks this time around. PUBG Corp. announced on Tuesday the upcoming implementation of a Battle Pass system on PC, a day after implementing a similar-yet-different system on mobile. Rebranded as Event Passes, PUBG 's system will offer new opportunities at in-game content apart from the current Loot Crate system. Event Passes will launch hand-in-hand with the Sanhok map on June
