Commonly referred to as PUBG, the fellow video game property was first released in 2017. Inspired by the popular Japanese film, it kickstarted the Battle Royale genre of games, selling over 5 million copies in three months. A version of the game was eventually released on Xbox One. However, it has been frequently plagued by performance issues, bugs, and aggressive monetization tactics, including insanely expensive DCEU skins . Despite that, and the fact it has since been surpassed by Fortnite __ in terms of popularity, PUBG still boasts a solid fanbase. In an effort to reclaim and expand on that base, the game will next release on the PS4. Although many fans were pleased with the announcement, there are also those that consider the move far too la

Moreover, it's worth mentioning that the 9 banned games are all battle royale games like Fortnite , so it's unclear if the country is just attempting to crack down on the genre as a whole. Without further ado, the full list of games selected for corrective action or withdrawal from the marketplace foll

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Sony are partnering to bring a special gift to battle royale fans playing on PlayStation 4. Starting soon, PUBG players will be able to earn an exclusive set of skins based on Guerilla Games' PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn . The skins will be exclusive to the PS4 version of PUBG and while they're entirely free, they do ask players to accomplish certain challenges during the limited time event. The Horizon Zero Dawn event will start on March 4 and last a month, so there's no need for players to r

Recently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been making headlines due to a ban of the game in certain areas of India. Student associations have called PUBG skins|https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ addiction worse than drug addiction , and governments have actually started arresting people for playing the game. The disdain for PUBG and its apparent effect on people in India has gotten so extreme that an Indian publication has now accused the game of turning kids into psychopa

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has finally revealed the cost of its hotly anticipated crossover with the DC Universe, but the _PUBG x Suicide Squad event isn't the smash hit fans of the game were hoping for. The PUBG Joker & Harley Quinn skins cost a total of $45 USD combined, which has prompted an extremely negative response from the game's commun

Whatever the case may be, it's clear that more studies need to be done on game addiction to determine the proper way to diagnose the disorder as well as treat it. So far, it seems as though psychiatrists are treating game addiction the same as drug addiction, and it's unclear if that is the best way to handle it or not. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if other governments react in the way India did to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , and just start banning certain games outri

Saying that kids are psychopaths because of PUBG seems like a bit of a stretch, but it's true that there has been some bizarre behavior associated with the game. For example, there was a viral Facebook post that claimed a man left his pregnant wife due to PUBG addiction , and there was also a reported incident where a Chinese child was killed jumping off a building in an attempt to mimic PUBG . There are less specific incidents in India itself, or at least very few that have been publicized, but regardless, 16 people have now been arrested for playing the g

At the moment, it's uncertain if the Chinese regulators have begun enforcing this ban because Fortnite and PUBG are still playable. Until then, however, all players can enjoy all that season 7 of Fortnite has to offer, including the latest OP weapon, the Infinity Bl

There are four different free Horizon Zero Dawn skins for players to unlock in PUBG including a hooded Horizon Zero Dawn Eclipse Top, a Horizon Zero Dawn Eclipse Mask, a Horizon Zero Dawn Eclipse Kar98k, and also a Horizon Zero Dawn Pan featuring a symbol over a silver design. Each individual skin is earned separately during the event; the skins aren't bundled into one pack

PUBG has also been openly criticized about the decisions being made behind the scenes of the game, especially those regarding skins and other cosmetic items usually purchased through microtransactions. The infamous Suicide Squad collaboration from last year raised the ire of many a player for the frankly ridiculous cost of some simple cosmetic costumes, and the game's marketplace on Steam has gone through several iterations of comedic inflation on sought-after items. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but PUBG also has been losing ground when it comes to pure play, with many believing Fortnite to be a more enjoyable experience while Apex Legends has more refined and skill-intensive mechanics. Where once there was a clear niche PUBG occupied, now the game's identity has begun to wa

PUBG has already struggled with monetization problems, frequently being accused of exploitative payment models that offer too little from a content-to-cost ratio. Most recently, PUBG came under fire for its event pass system , which required an inordinate amount of time from players to complete just to unlock the items they had paid for - the pass also cost $9.99 USD and was a time sensitive item. That, coupled with locked loot boxes on an already heavily criticized progression system, has seen the reputation of PUBG 's predatory microtransactions become even worse in recent mon
