PUBG: Battlegrounds

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds gained its popularity at a blinding speed and naturally it became a hacker sponge. The hacker problem has been rampant for months now and lately they are getting themselves new tools such as teleportation.

Tech giant Tencent, the company that owns distribution rights of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on the Chinese market, has rolled out the first of the two PUBG mobile games there. Interestingly enough, it looks as if the trailer teases a live action movie, with some suggesting that PUBG will end up in Hollywood.

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has already gained a reputation for breaking all sorts of records but PUBG Corp’s latest infographic really makes you think. As you could have guessed, we are not talking mere stats here - this is pure science. Kind of. OK, not all of it really, but it’s still fun.

According to a year in review report published by SuperData, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds generated $712 million in revenue in 2017. The battle royale game managed to earn almost as much money as Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive did combined.

PUBG Corp delayed the latest anti-cheat update due to an "unexpected issue". During a sweep of helper programs that alter the graphics or aid gameplay in some way, BattleEye went ahead and blocked ReShade. You'll need to re-install the game only if its files have been already damaged.

PUBG's problem with cheaters is still growing in spite ever tightening anti-tamper measures. BattlEye's Twitter account reported that more than one million players had been banned in January 2018 alone. More measures are on the way.

Mikonet, the Seoul-based gaming technology company that brought 3D replay and Death Cam options to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has seen an increased number of players using the new features. They are currently developing A.I. driven cinematic highlights as well.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has released its additional map without adding the option for players to choose which one they get to play. While Bluehole were trying to make Miramar more appealing, players have already found ways to skip the map entirely.

PUBG's PC test servers are sporting a new patch. The latest update has brought some more performance improvements both server and client-side. Due to the new anti-cheat system, some players might experience game crashes.

PUBG Corp has rolled out a new patch for the Xbox One version of their PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Changes have been made to the game's control scheme, and an auto/run function has been added. Other various bugs have been fixed.
