New players will often be confused by announcements about "The Ring". How this mechanic works is that the area is surrounded by an area deadly to players that slowly closes in upon a part of the battlefield. This pattern happens a few times throughout a ma

"In light of recent developments, PUBG Corporation has made the decision to no longer authorize the PUBG MOBILE franchise to Tencent Games in India. Moving forward, PUBG Corporation will take on all publishing responsibilities within the country. As the company explores ways to provide its own PUBG experience for India in the near future, it is committed to doing so by sustaining a localized and healthy gameplay environment for its fans," said the blog post by PUBG C

Multiple sensationalist news articles about PUBG related deaths featured across various online news outlets as if India had finally arrived at its satanic panic phase. Politicians from all over the country went up in arms about this evil game ruining the lives of impressionable children. Even Prime Minister Modi addressed the topic at an education-related event in India. Lastly, almost every news, finance, content, lifestyle, sports, or e-commerce site started churning out PUBG related content to boost their SEO numbers. As you can imagine, a video game journalist in India couldn’t help but feel a bit satura

Controlling guns and recoil in PUBG Mobile is a very easy task as opposed to PUBG on PC or console. Guns like the AKM, M416, DP-28, and more can all easily be controlled, even with a 4x scope. However, in PUBG , it is much more difficult for players to control the recoil on the same guns. If a player were to switch from PUBG Mobile to PUBG , they would definitely not be used to the huge recoil difference, and would have a hard time getting accustomed to

It is once again ground loot, meaning that players can acquire it on the map and is no longer relegated to care packages. Having your Devotion equipped with a turbocharger makes the thing close to unstoppable as it ramps up in a hurry and will shoot with 900 RPM lasers when at full veloc

The decision of launching a mobile port of PUBG was clearly the right one, as PUBG Mobile became a huge success immediately after release, gaining 300 million downloads within the first year . PUBG Mobile was arguably one of the best and most versatile mobile games in 2

Then again, you might get so hooked up in the battle royale experience offered by PUBG that you dream about it every waking moment. In that case, you can always indulge yourself in some mobile Hunger Ga

A good rule of thumb, however, is to try and always get a height advantage on your enemies if possible, and always have some form of cover to hide behind. As the match goes on, you will often run into enemies equipped with highly upgraded sniper rifles, who will punish you for wandering around in the open. The meta is constantly changing as patches go by, so you never know who you might be up agai

To me, where Apex Legends truly succeeds is in its strength of character. That is to say, its diverse and robust cast of eclectic player-characters are unlike anything else in the genre. Fortnite‘s characters are colorful in the same way that '80s cartoon characters are, but they lack personality or depth. Meanwhile, PUBG’s got some military gear and overpriced Suicide Squad costumes that look like they’re from Party City’s bargain bin. Warzone? More like snore zone. Against this limp competition, Apex has the edge by defa

Sadly, not everyone has the time or financial capacity to commit to console gaming or even gaming in general. Some of your friends might only have smartphones and can't play with you on the console, but that's enough for PUBG Mob

The PC still remains the most definitive PUBG battle royale experience but plenty of love is being given to both the console and the mobile version. Of the two objectively lesser versions of PUBG though, which one is better to play? For people with limited time and capacity for commitments, it's better to know which of the two versions of PUBG is worth their time. Are chicken dinners more enjoyable on mobile or on console? Let's find

Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, Overwatch Phreaks I feel, because whatever perceived "gendered" physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here's this goofy and sweet beefcake who's gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h

PUBG Mobile does a good job with this. You can play while on a bus or train ride to school or work (or even play in those places, just don't get caught). Good luck trying to do this on a PS4 or Xbox
