Popular video game PlayUnknown's Battlegrounds _ is finally heading to the PlayStation 4, according to an online leak. _PUBG was the game that started the game industry's obsession with the battle royale genre, and after a long wait, it appears that it will finally launch on the best-selling platform of this generat

PUBG Mobile has faced heavy criticism in the Indian media and is being linked to violence, murder, aggression, looting, cyberbullying, and addiction. Parents, mental health professionals, and even an 11-year-old child were among those calling for the ban, which was put in place in Rajkot on March 6th by Police Commissioner Manoj Agra

Abortive court cases and such aside, there’s been little that PUBG Corp has been able to do to hit back. The game has been a phenomenon in its own right, of course ( Fortnite ’s battle royale began as nothing more than a side-mode, after all), but the statistics with regards to the player base make for quite grim read

That is all set to change based on a listing for PUBG on PS4, found on the website of South Korea's Game Content Rating Classification Committee . While it's fair to be skeptical of the leak's accuracy, there is a precedent for this very body revealing this kind of information before. A similar incident occurred with the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite , which hadn't been officially announced at the t

That's not to say, however, that the games selected by the Review Committee have been banned over a meme. For the most part, the games banned seem to come down to blood and gore, vulgar content, overly revealing female characters, and inharmonious chatter. The latter is defined as a "perceived lack of effort to combat toxicity , vulgarity, and politically sensitive speech" in ch

Video game addiction in general is a growing concern, though outside of India, much of the anxiety surrounding the issue is not aimed at PUBG . While PUBG seems to be the dominant battle royale game in India, Fortnite is much more popular elsewhere in the world, and has had its fair share of strange addiction stories tied to it as well. One of the more extreme examples saw a young girl admitted to rehab for Fortnite addicti

With a large number of consumers worldwide owning a PS4, a logical conclusion would be that a version of PUBG vehicles|Https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ for the console would be a sales powerhouse. But with the stiff competition in this day and age, a PS4 PUBG may have an uphill battle to face. Not only is Fortnite free of charge, but the game also has enjoyed a nearly year-long head-start on the PS4. With Fortnite likely causing PUBG's player count to drop , it's arguable that PUBG has already lost too much momentum to catch up on the platform. Plus, the game will face the challenge of competing directly with H1Z1 - another battle royale game that happens to be on PC and PS4 only, not Xbox One. Aside from PC, it seems that the PS4 may soon become the only video game console to contain every major battle royale game on the mar

The Rajkot Special Operations Group (SOG) have been enforcing the law, but those breaking it are not hiding their crimes very well. Three youths were arrested near the police headquarters. SOG police inspector Rohit Raval stated, "This game is highly addictive and the accused were so engrossed in playing them that they could not even notice our team approaching them." He goes on to state that they had their mobile phones seized "for the purpose of the investigati

In a statement made to The Indian Express , Agrawal explains that the offense is bailable, but will go to court. He said, "In the procedure, they will be shown as immediately bailed out by police. The case will go to the courts and there will be a trial for not following the notification issu

"The notification falls in two parts. One is the person who is playing the game is liable for notification violation. At the same time, people who are aware that they are playing PUBG and still not communicating this to the authorities are also liable for an equal amount of violati

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 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

In a recent article published by the Navbharat Times, the publication said, "There are dangerous consequences to this game. Many children have lost their mental balance." The Navbharat Times then went on to say that kids are becoming "manorogi," which is the Hindi word for "psychopa

These arrests come just a day after six college students were also arrested for playing the game at fast-food joints near the college. Another arrest was made the same day by University Police. Those involved have since been released on b
