Touching on all of the issues that _ PUBG _ has faced is not an indication of why you shouldn't play it. Rather, it is a testament to the fact that the game is still impressively standing in spite of those troubles and is being added to another platform via the PlayStation 4. It should not be overlooked that _ PUBG _ has had its own share of success in the mainstream spotlight, such as the PGI 2018 PUBG $1 Million Charity Showdown Tournament which featured celebrity streamers and professional gamers including (you guessed it), Tyler "Ninja" Blev

With a game like PUBG , gamers have to be creative about how they survive and eliminate other players. Cars and vehicles can sometimes be more trouble than they are worth, but if players have a team and know how to aim like a star, they can take out some easy targets.
