Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl   Where Erangel's wide open fields and mountains tend to favor medium to long-range combat (ie, assault rifles and snipers), the valleys and tight corridors of Miramar make close-range combat the more preferred way to dispatch enemies and survive thanks to shotguns and S  The icon will be different when the care package is falling and looted by other players     Adjusted replay system so that now a player can watch the replay without extra delay in the following c   For those that don't know much about the title and/or have lived under a rock in the past few months, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is an Early Access survival shooter that pits 100 players against each other in typical survival game/ Battle Royale fashion, developed by Korean studio Bluehole and Brandon Greene, the titular "PlayerUnkno   Starting off each round, players are flown to the battlegrounds in a huge aircraft carrier that takes a random path across the huge maps and gives players the chance to jump out and parachute to their starting location. This moment alone marks a big point where players will have to strategize, whether they decide to jump from the plane early and (usually) wind up in a bloodbath of other players trying to scrounge for weapons and ammo, or taking more remote paths to other parts of the island that could make survival easier, but potentially put the player at a disadvantage as far as outpacing some of the game's environmental hazards, such as supply drops and random bombing r   Recently there was a treasure hunt of sorts inside of Grand Theft Auto: Online , the end result of which was getting a golden double revolver as well as some cash.

This, of course, makes PUBG 's unpredictability both one of its best and worst qualities. With the way that matches play out, you can just as quickly be killed in the game's opening minutes thanks to a lousy plane route, or last to the very end with some careful deliberation and strategy if you happen to luck out with avoiding the cir   In the same way that Counter-Strike 's early days led to it dominating the competitive scene and Minecraft 's years of beta access led to it becoming a game that defined a generation, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds isn't necessarily the first "battle royale" game out there, but it is the one that's leading the charge on making players fight to survive, and it's thrilling in every   Since it debuted on Early Access last March and finally launched last month, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has shown little signs of slowing down with regular new updates and content being added, with PC players getting a new update on the hori   PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback.

Personally, PUBG has been a mostly smooth experience with my build that includes an NVIDIA GTX 1070 graphics card (which is just above the game's recommended spec of a GTX 1060 GPU), 32GB of RAM, and an i5 processor, though the game's optimization is far from ideal. It's come a long way now from its Early Access state, but there is definitely more work to be done to make PUBG a completely "stable" experie   Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka "PlayerUnknown") outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game.
