Microsoft X018: Here Are The Six Biggest Announcements

Previously, grenade damage was greatly dependant on fall damage (from the grenade’s knockback effect) rather than explosion. We’ve removed the grenade’s knockback effect for player characters, and have adjusted it so that only explosion damage is applied when you’re struck by a gren


This means that for example, when aiming down the sight, you won't gain the full accuracy improvements from ADS until your sights are aligned.



The winning player or team will now be given approximately 8 seconds to celebrate their victory before the match ends and results are displa


Before I proceed, let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, Fortnite has stolen a massive number of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players, and the number seems to be increasing every single day. However, there is one aspect that the developers at PUBG Corporation have in their game compared to everyone else: that sweet, sweet chicken dinner. I have not found any other experience that can replicate the joyous and rewarding feeling after winning that glorious m


PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds shocked the video game world back in early 2017. Its creative take on the typical multiplayer shooter paved the way for the future of online action games. Fortnite has raked in the dough by branching off of the playstyle of PUBG Nostalgia . Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V will both include a battle royal mode tailored toward those series. However, despite it being a year and a half after the game initially took off, there still hasn't been a game that can replicate the experience that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds provi


Over on the game's Steam Community page, developer PUBG Corp has revealed the patch notes for the PC version's update #15, which will bring over the brand new Sanhok map, which was available in testing for several weeks, over to the live ser


Developer PUBG Corps has released patch notes for the latest update of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PC, with update #8 incorporating several notable changes, with the biggest being a brand new weapons skins system that allows players to customize their guns, and the introduction of two new Crates with new cosmetic it


Whenever there are less than ten other players left in the round, oh boy, it’s a ride. Crawling through the thick grass in complete silence not knowing whether someone is right next to you causes my hands to sweat. I legitimately get nervous and my hands begin to tremble each time because I get filled with so much anxiety. Even the best players can’t just run around all willy nilly. If you are caught in the open, most of the times that's it. You're done for. The last five minutes of a round in PUBG are some of the most stressful and suspenseful moments I have ever experienced in a game. However, the payoff of a chicken dinner also is one of the most rewarding feelings I ever f


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is available now on Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android - for a closer look at the latest changes in update #8 for PUBG 1.0 on PC, you can check out the patch notes below, with the updates currently available on the game's test server and will be available globally down the l


During X018, we got a closer look at Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood world in. The game takes players to several different Disney franchises, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Hero 6, Frozen, and Tangled , so Winnie the Pooh's classic world only adds to an impressive lin


Fixed an issue where when players leave the vehicle and the vehicle is positioned right next to the window of a building, players would go into the building through the window when getting out off the veh


Yes, there are similar ones. Battle Royale games have blasted off in the gaming world, many soaring past the popularity heights of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . I don’t think I need to elaborate on which one that is. Then, some have failed to capture the feeling that the battle royale genre has to offer . Nevertheless, these titles do not come close to the suspenseful and tactical nature that is just oozing out of every crevice of PU


While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been available for some time, the Battle Royale phenomenon has only continued to grow with new updates and features added regularly, and now the game's next major update will also include its long-awaited next


We’ve increased the delay for breath recovery time from one to four seconds. (In other words, when you lift your head up out of the water, it’ll now take four seconds before you begin to recover your bre


After a long period of silence , Sumo Digital and Microsoft finally shared more information on Crackdown 3 and its multiplayer mode. We learned that the game will be launching on February 15, and like other first party games will be included with Xbox Game Pass at lau


Crackdown 3 is also receiving a 5v5 multiplayer mode called Wrecking Zone that takes advantage of Microsoft's Azure technology for mass destruction across two maps at launch. After a tumultuous development process, it's great to finally see the game so close to finally shipping. The original Crackdown will also soon be available via Xbox Backwards Compatibility, so series fans should be satisfied over the next few mon
