The Battle Pass feature is an increasingly popular alternative to other forms of DLC microtransactions for "Games as a Service" titles. It's not as expensive as splitting DLC up into individual pieces and is not as predatory as Loot Boxes, since there's no RNG. The trade-off is that Battle Passes require a lot of time investment to earn everything, and even then players might not level a Pass up high enough to get everything. For most players, however, that risk is more than worth the benef

While it might seem odd to celebrate such a monumental sales figure by reducing the price on Steam, it makes sense when looking at those 400 million downloads. Although 50 million copies have been bought for Windows PC and Xbox, that means the other 350 million were downloaded for free on either Android or

While a lot of the games listed are ones that Sony has been teasing for years (and still haven't released), the biggest news here is arguably Bloodborne 2 , which has become one of From Software's biggest titles outside of the core Dark Souls series. The game received overwhelming praise when it released in 2015, and fans have been wanting a sequel ever since. Plus, there's the long-rumored Devil May Cry 5 and SOCOM: Coalition , as well as a BioShock PSVR title on the

Aside from those games, one of the biggest surprises on the list is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - one of the most popular Battle Royale games on PC, which released on Xbox One last fall and has amassed quite the player count on the console. Unfortunately, PUBG 's player count on PC has been dwindling, and with H1Z1 now out on PS4 in open beta , this would be the perfect opportunity for Bluehole to expand to the PS4 and establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with on consoles, especially with Fortnite continuing to dominate in the Battle Royale sp

As mentioned, the Event Pass will be exclusive to the PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the time being. Though it's expected to be ported to Xbox One down the line. An alternative version is already available on PUBG Mobile , as the Royale Pass system launched yesterday. The Royale Pass is also a typical Battle Pass, though it rewards Crate Currency whereas the Event Pass appears to be distancing itself from Crates as much as possi

It's nice to see PUBG Mobile 's developers feed some new modes into the game as well as make adjustments and improvements. With a few smart gameplay tweaks compared to the main game, PUBG Mobile quickly became one of the more popular battle royale mobile games at launch. Maybe the main game can even learn a thing or two from its mobile counterp

While recent E3 2018 leaks have proven to be real, it's always worth taking rumored information with a grain of salt. Regardless of whether or not this is Sony's schedule for their pre-E3 press conference, gamers won't have to wait long to find out as the PlayStation E3 briefing is in just one w

It's important to remember now that regardless of how successful pubg Money Guide Corp. and Bluehole are, new battle-royal titles are appearing at a faster and faster rate. The main example of this is coming later this year with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , which is set to feature a battle-royal mode called Blackout and is sure to also cut into other games player bases. The point is that there is no stopping the tide and most fans just want all these games to live together in harmony. Is that too much to

The Battle Pass system is an extremely popular feature used in games including both Fortnite and Paladins . Each Pass is time-limited, requiring players to complete assorted in-game challenges to level up their Pass and unlock new content. Some content is available to all players, but a majority of the content is locked behind a premium version of the P

This is hardly the first time tensions have been raised between the two companies over Fortnite's battle-royal mode. When the new mode became available last year, vice-president of PUBG Corp. parent company Bluehole Chang Han Kim expressed concern over the new game mode copying PUBG , saying "After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is kno

One of the new features hitting the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is Arcade, which is a 28-player mode that can be played solo or with friends. Each match randomly selects one of six possible variations, adding a bit of a twist on the gameplay. For example, one variation limits the weapon selection to a specific type, while another grants players access to all weapons and items. The six variations are Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, All Weapons, Melee, Pistols, and Item Hea

E3 2018 is almost here, and leaks are starting to trickle out in advance of the massive gaming expo. The rumor flames have now been stoked by an anonymous contributor on 4chan, and they’ve revealed what’s purportedly a photo of the internally distributed PlayStation E3 schedule, which lists a series of the highly-anticipated trailers and reveals that will be emerging from E3 2
