Of course, it isn't hard to see why PUBG Corp. and Bluehole are concerned about Fortnite . In the time since its battle-royal mode launched, the game has seen a surge in popularity among both content creators and casual games. The game has seen such success that not only has it beaten the record for most concurrent players previously held by PUBG but it is also now reported to make more money than it

EA opened its E3 2018 press conference with a bang, finally confirming that Battlefield V will have a battle royale mode . Details about the multiplayer game mode have yet to be fully revealed, but it was enough to get fans excited. It was also enough for one very famous battle royale developer to take not

Dubbed a progression-based system with unlockables, a second Steam announcement revealed that PUBG 's event pass will also launch on June 22. There will be daily, weekly, and Sanhok-based missions to lure players to PUBG . While it sounds like a great idea, there are some major drawbacks. PUBG 's pass must be bought with real-world money ($9.99) and will only last for four weeks instead of the whole season. The event pass will have free and premium options, but those who choose the free options will only be able to temporarily unlock new it

However, the PUBG player base has already been heavily impacted by the stratospheric rise of Fortnite Battle Royale, a game which has won celebrity endorsements, celebrations from professional athletes, and multiple national news segments about its impact on children. Battlefield V isn't the only major rival either, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's Blackout battle royale mode also posing a threat. Moreover, these games will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, whereas PUBG is only available on PC and Xbox

The event pass was put in place after developers decided against DLC content, saying they didn't want to divide gamers into the "haves" and the "have-nots." Ultimately, PUBG is still asking players to part with their hard-earned cash and has done nothing to address its sluggish and punishing progression system. Adding to this the unfair odds of the loot boxes (which they're also charging for to unlock) and PUBG will need to do more than introduce a new map to win over its crit

With Fortnite eschewing loot boxes entirely in its Battle Royale mode (although individual seasons offer their own unique cosmetics, similar to Overwatch ), it’s already ahead of the curve. Perhaps by the time Sanhok arrives, the wait for for a more stable game will seem like it was worth it. However, with a never-ending stream of cosmetics and constant reminders for microtransactions blemishing player inventory, all while many of them experience blatant performance issues, PUBG Corp. should keep running — that blue wall might be closer than it lo

Although the so-called original battle royale game has managed to weather this particular storm (so far, at least) will it be able to outlast another attack from another major player? Only time will tell, but the tweet from PlayerUnknown makes it very clear: the PUBG development team will be watching the developments surrounding Battlefield V very, very clos

Not long after the Battlefield V battle royale announcement was made, Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fame, took to Twitter to respond. In all caps lock, the famed game developer sent the Battlefield Twitter account a public message, welcoming the "old friend" to the battle royale c

The post describes how the developers have been taking serious efforts to ensure that cheating and hacking are rooted out from the game and divulge that they have added new anti-cheat solutions to the game its

Many also made jokes about the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developer issuing "copyright strikes" against the game, in reference to a YouTube policy that allows content owners to issue copyright strikes against channels that have infringed upon their copyright. A few others suggested that Battlefield V 's battle royale mode may bring about the demise of Battlegrounds as the competition will just be too hot to han

In addition, the post goes on to cite the recent arrest of fifteen suspects in connection to developing and selling cheating programs that affect PUBG . These cheating programs also contained within them a Trojan Horse software, which essentially piggybacks its way into your computer on another, legitimate program and then begins to collect information on you from behind the sce

The Korea Times reported pubg Collectibles filed an injunction with the Seoul Central District Court against Epic Games Korea for alleged copyright infringement on Friday. Details are currently scarce on the PUBG - Fortnite lawsuit, but past statements from Bluehole allude to the alleged copyright violation. " We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press, " wrote Chang Han Kim back in September of 2017. " This was never discussed with us and we don't feel that it's righ
