Everyone has a fighting chance
Toeseok Jang, the executive producer of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, has penned a lengthy letter to update the community on the progress being made in the FIX PUBG campaign that the developers started several months ago. In it, he provides a peek at the most significant strides made by the developers and what players can expect going in to 2019.
Earlier this week, we mentioned that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds would be bringing in both Joker and Harley Quinn skins thanks to a partnership with DC. Those skin packages are now priced. Harley Quinn’s “Daddy’s Lil Monster” and baseball bat skins come in a bundle for “only” $25. The Joker Night Club Suit bundle is “only” $20. Both include new hair and makeup options as well. The skins will be available for purchase through January 30th.
For an indeterminate amount of time, XBox One players can download and play the full version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Heading to the Microsoft Store sees players able to download it immediately ahead of Microsoft’s X018 event on Saturday, November 10th. The company is also promising “big news” for players so it’s the perfect time to be playing. What remains unknown is how long the promotion will last and if there are any restrictions while playing.
It appears that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may soon be heading to PlayStation 4 at long last. The Korean Ratings Board provided a rating for the game in September, an almost sure sign of its imminent release. In addition, a poster at PSNProfiles.com (via ResetEra) has reignited the speculation with the discovery of a PSN library icon and and image of the well-known loading screen.
PlayerUknown’s Battlegrounds players have 20,000 reasons to log into the game to check out the 50v50 Platoon event. Recently, players were faced with a number of issues in matchmaking and with overall connectivity. By way of apology, PUBG devs are giving everyone 20,000 BP and a black beanie with headphones. These goodies will need to be claimed by October 23rd.
The PlayerUknown’s Battlegrounds test server has been brought up to Update #22 that includes the new ranking system, some updates to menu wheels and marks the return of the map selection ability. Also included is a long list of bug fixes and tweaks to a variety of systems.
The latest PC update has been deployed to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Most notably, Update 21 brings the “much-requested” Training Mode into the game that allows players to “practice all aspects of PUBG gameplay” on a 2×2 map. In addition, players can check out the latest iteration of the PUBG rewards system that provides players with in-game items “just for playing PUBG and completing missions”.
XBox One players can all take part in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds now that it has hit its full retail release. The release version comes with the addition of the Sanhok map along with new in-game rewards, and a “host of optimizations designed to give players the best PUBG experience on XBox One”.
The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Steam page has been updated with a new developer post announcing the “Fix PUBG” initiative and microsite. The goal of the campaign is for developers to “be entirely focused on addressing problems with the game, including bugs, long-needed QoL improvements and fundamental performance improvements”. Throughout the process, specific plans and timelines will be revealed. “We’ll deliver on our promises” the post reads.
The PlayerUknown’s Battlegrounds Steam page has been updated with the notes for Update 19. This large update is firmly grounded in improving quality of life for players. In addition, dynamic weather will be added to Erangel and Miramar and it includes overcast, sunset, rain, fog and more.
