Microsoft X018: Here Are The Six Biggest Announcements

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


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


Care package plane's volume attenuation curve is now steeper. This means the distance at which the plane can be heard is the same, but the distance at which the plane's maximum sound can be heard has been decre


If you just don't want to use the companion app for your map, there is an easier way to access it. Again, the menus are a pain to navigate. Normally what it seems you have to do is hit the Options button on PS4, then select the map, and there you go. It was needlessly complicated. Well, I eventually found out that you can simply hold down Option and it'll bring it right up. That's another oops on my p


Another mechanic the game tries to hammer home to you that isn't as important as it seems is dialogue choices. You can greet people and it will raise your honor, which is useful if you want to get discounts in shops. That's about


PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds isn’t the best-made game in the world, visually. It also doesn’t run particularly well -- a fact that developers made light of in their recent Inside Xbox Live at Gamescom showcase. We are eight months past the official release of Version 1.0, and the battle royale game is still riddled with bugs on PC; that's not even mentioning the Xbox One version, which is finally coming out of Early Access . In fact, PUBG Corporation, the developers behind the game, literally created a website entitled fix.pubg.com that outlines their roadmap for updates that will better optimize the performance of the title. There are a lot of unignorable issues that understandably drive players a


This is why the two games are not a great comparison. On one side, Epic’s battle royale experience is all about close range combat and constructing forts. Whereas PUBG Corporation's rendition revolves around patience, strategy, and close to medium range combat. Your opinion of each game will most likely align with your playstyle. Most people love to run and gun. That is a big reason why Call of Duty sells so incredibly well every year and that is probably why Fortnite exploded. Well, besides it also being 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


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 . 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


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


Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of Ethical Gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what PUBG got so right the first time aro


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
