PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Bluehole objected heavily to Epic Games entering the battle royale market a while back, claiming they copied their idea and whatnot. Now it seems they've kicked it up a notch and decided to take Epic Games to court of law over the squabble.

PUBG Corp have made their Xbox One playerbase wait on Miramar for quite a while now, although they'll be hoping to make it up with a hefty patch that brings new items, weapons, vehicles and game features to the Microsoft edition of PUBG.

PUBG leaks looked like a torrent in the past few days on Skin Tracker, since they leaked the upcoming ballistic shield on the picture above, two new game modes, golden tracksuit pants and correctly predicted Aviator Crate contents.

It seems like PUBG Mobile is going the way of its big PC and Xbox One brother PUBG, with Tencent and PUBG Corp revealing the game has hit 10 million daily active users around the globe. As is usual for these stats, China is not included.

Tencent have rolled out the latest patch for PUBG Mobile, adding the desert map, Miramar, progress missions and more. You can now buy specific items in the shop, albeit at a pretty steep price even for PUBG's already steep standards.

PUBG Corp and Bluehole have already announced the PUBG Global Invitational 2018 (PGI 2018), which is a weird way of spelling "world championship". There will be regional qualifiers and North American qualifier event has now been detailed.

Well, Tencent and PUBG are either going for a bigger piece of mobile pie or are trying to do something about keyboard and mouse users on mobile, without having to lose them to the warm free-to-play embrace of its nemesis Fortnite. Or both.

This week's UK boxed sales chart has been slightly reshuffled compared to the last week, albeit God of War has no intention of vacating that pole position. Interestingly enough, Donkey Kong came in second, despite being a Wii U port.

This may be the last article where we address PUBG's jungle map as Codename: Savage since Bluehole are renaming it to Sanhok. The map is returning for another round of testing running from 10 through 14 May 2018 before returning to stasis.

PUBG Corp seem to be intent on changing their silent ways and are now looking to interact more with the players. Their latest effort is a survey where they ask players about the weapon re-balance, while offering rewards for participation.
