For PS4 owners, this announcement may be too little, too late. Owners of other platforms have been able to enjoy PUBG for almost two years at this point, and since then, the battle royale itch has been scratched by the free-to-play Fortnite and Call of Duty's "Blackout" mode. It certainly doesn't help that the word of mouth on the Xbox One's technical performance has been largely negative, with graphical issues and choppy frame rates being cited by players. Despite enthusiasm from Sony and PUBG Corp., it is difficult to determine just what audience this release is

PUBG will be on PS4 almost a full year after the game released as a console exclusive on the Xbox One in an early access form. Before coming to consoles, PUBG was primarily played on PC, with a separate free-to-play mobile version releasing in early 2018. While PUBG gained praise and several accolades after its release, the game has since been overtaken by Fortnite in terms of concurrent players , with competition emerging from the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops

Perhaps a long-overdue revamp of the game's original map will help entice players back, even if it's for nostalgia's sake. A new version of PUBG 's first map, Erangel, has been in the works since March of this year, and developer PUBG Corp released a video earlier today showcasing the progress that's been made. It's less noticeable than its counterparts because PUBG has always had a more realistic presentation, but there are some clear graphical updates that make the map much more visually appealing, even if it does suffer from the traditional browns, greens, and greys aesthetic that many apocalypse-inspired shooters embr

PUBG on all platforms is in need of "fixing," as PUBG Corp. admitted through a public and transparent "Fix PUBG " campaign . While PUBG was a trailblazer for the battle royale genre, the fact that Fortnite and Blackout run significantly better, especially on consoles as popular as the PS4, doesn't bode well for the longevity of PUBG . There is still an opportunity for the developers to turn things around and optimize their game properly for consoles, and perhaps then PUBG will find its PS4 audie

Brendan Greene, aka PlayerUnknown, will be leaving his old position working on _PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ in favor of a different direction. The creator of one of the most popular battle royale games of all-time announced he would be pursuing a brand new project and would be taking on a different role within PUBG Corporation as a res

While other battle royale games may have gotten a head start on the PlayStation 4, Sony is hoping to make up for it with some exclusive content on their version of PUBG . As described on the official PlayStation Blog, players who pre-order the game can get some exclusive skins, the most prominent being a Nathan Drake outfit. This costume is based on the character's desert attire in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception . Additionally, pre-order customers will be able to nab Ellie's backpack from The Last of Us , another Naughty Dog game. The Last of Us is due for a sequel on the PS4 in the future, titled The Last of Us Part II . Finally, PS4 users can enjoy a PUBG -themed avatar and theme if they pre-order the g

Nothing about the Special Projects division is really known at this point beyond the philosophy that's at play behind its creation. Greene has indicated that the division is meant to explore future possibilities within gaming that don't really exist currently, stating that the division would focus on creating new technologies and gameplay. Greene has also suggested that he already has a number of ideas for what these focuses should be, and that the creation of the division is to take one of the progenitor's of the battle royale genre's ideas and to make them reality. With PUBG 's popularity waning, now seems like a good time for Greene to step back and try something new outside of that sph

PUBG is getting up there in age for a battle royale title , especially given the speed with which the market for these games fluctuates. Revisiting some old magic isn't a bad idea, but it does seem to ignore the much deeper problem of needing a fundamental design change to keep up with the games that PUBG inspired. Those titles have the benefit of fixing what PUBG did sub-optimally and innovating, and with so many iterations of that, now it's **PUBG ** 's turn to see if it can turn back the clock and refresh the game enough to become a stalwart of battle royale streaming once m

Pubg beginner guide|https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ was once the apple of the eye of battle royale players everywhere, but has recently fallen on hard times as more competitors crop up with innovative additions to the formula that PUBG innovated. Still, the game is one of the first of its kind, and kickstarted a genre that has now come to completely dominate the gaming industry. While PUBG appears to be heading in the wrong direction of late, it's difficult to dispute that Greene has a keen eye for what would catch the interest of gamers, and it's not like PUBG is going anywhere - it's just unlikely to pose much of a threat to Fortnite or the insurgent Apex Legends at this po
