Microsoft X018: Here Are The Six Biggest Announcements

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has grown immensely since debuting on Steam Early Access last year, and now the PC version of the game is getting one of its biggest updates yet later today with Update


During X018, we got a closer look at Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood world in. The game takes players to several different Disney franchises, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Hero 6, Frozen, and Tangled , so Winnie the Pooh's classic world only adds to an impressive lin


Specifically, that includes a number of tweaks to some of the game's weapons and items, while also introducing some new items like the SLR rifle, and the Mirado muscle car. For a closer look at what the update offers, you can check out the full patch notes be


This means that for example, when aiming down the sight, you won't gain the full accuracy improvements from ADS until your sights are aligned.



The winning player or team will now be given approximately 8 seconds to celebrate their victory before the match ends and results are displa


Comparing this to PUBG is almost like a night and day difference. You must always be on your toes. One bad decision could cost you and your squad the match. Whether it is how you ransack a set of buildings, or how you make your approach toward the circle, battlegrounds will always reward the squad that communicates and puts some careful thought into their playst


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is available now on Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android - for a closer look at the latest changes in update #8 for PUBG 1.0 on PC, you can check out the patch notes below, with the updates currently available on the game's test server and will be available globally down the l

The update itself will be rolling out later this week, according to PUBG Corp, with an expected launch date of June 22nd, 2018. Until its official launch later this week, the Sanhok map will be available in the game's test server to try out on PC, as w

While the wildly-popular Battle Royale game is now available on the go , PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still seeing its original PC version getting significant new updates and additions, with the latest PC update dropping some new customization options for players to enjoy with weapon sk


In addition to the new skins system in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that will provide players some flexibility in customizing their characters' appearance, the update also introduces some new options for earning cosmetic items through the Triumph and Raider crates. The Triumph crates can only be opened by purchasing a Weapon Cosmetic Key, while the Raider crates can be opened for free from players that earn them in-g

While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been available for some time, the Battle Royale phenomenon has only continued to grow with new updates and features added regularly, and now the game's next major update will also include its long-awaited next


Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what PUBG got so right the first time aro


This is why the two games are not a great comparison. On one side, Epic’s battle royale experience is all about close range combat and constructing forts. Whereas pubg ally Corporation's rendition revolves around patience, strategy, and close to medium range combat. Your opinion of each game will most likely align with your playstyle. Most people love to run and gun. That is a big reason why Call of Duty sells so incredibly well every year and that is probably why Fortnite exploded. Well, besides it also being f


If you just don't want to use the companion app for your map, there is an easier way to access it. Again, the menus are a pain to navigate. Normally what it seems you have to do is hit the Options button on PS4, then select the map, and there you go. It was needlessly complicated. Well, I eventually found out that you can simply hold down Option and it'll bring it right up. That's another oops on my p


Over on the game's Steam Community page, developer PUBG Corp has revealed the patch notes for the PC version's update #15, which will bring over the brand new Sanhok map, which was available in testing for several weeks, over to the live ser
