PUBG: Battlegrounds

PUBG Lite has kicked off as a free to play open beta in Thailand and the game currently looks like an upscaled version of PUBG mobile. It, therefore, has way lower system requirements, but it's unknown if it will come to the western market.

It appears that China has finally eased up on the gaming regulations as the country's two publishing giants, Tencent and NetEase, got new game licenses after nine months of uncertainty. Fortnite and PUBG, however, have to wait a bit longer.

PUBG's PlayStation 4 version was the last one to launch but it's slowly but surely being brought up to speed. PUBG Corp's Update #1 has added the snow map, Vikendi, snowmobile included, as well as new weapons, Survivor Pass and more.

Analysts at SuperData have published their report on the state of the worldwide video game market in December 2018, where both Fortnite and PUBG did great in terms of revenue, which couldn't be said for EA and DICE's shooter Battlefield V.

New PUBG update is now available on PC test servers and it brings some sweet additions to Vikendi. The update also comes with the snowbike, Bizon SMG, Canted Sight and Vikendi Moonlight weather setting, which includes northern lights.

Lower FPS is a major nuisance once you get used to better performance, and can often impact how you perform as a player. With PUBG, this issue is taken one step further, since low frames per second reduce recoil on fast firing weapons.

PUBG Corp have announced that they'll be issuing bans for 12 pro players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the grounds of using or condoning cheating, with the bans including two-year and three-year suspensions from competitive play.

Valve have released their infographics of sort, that are more like ladders for the best sellers in various categories. As per usual, we have top sellers, most concurrent players, best VR, top new releases and top Early Access graduates.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds recently got a brand new map called Vikendi and we spent some time trying to win the chicken dinner on its snowy wastelands. It's a great addition to PUBG but some old issues are still plaguing the game.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or a desync specialist for that matter, to see that PUBG has been in a tough place since it left Steam's Early Access and although Vikendi helped prop the numbers up, it's not going to last forever.
