With a few smart gameplay tweaks compared to &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;main &lt;/del&gt;game, PUBG &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Mobile quickly became one &lt;/del&gt;of the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;more popular battle royale mobile games at launch.

The main example of this is coming later this year with &lt;/del&gt;Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;which &lt;/del&gt;is &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;set &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;feature &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;battle&lt;/del&gt;-&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;royal mode called Blackout and is sure &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;also cut into other games player bases. The point is &lt;/del&gt;that &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;there is no stopping the tide and most fans just want all these games to live together in harmony.

Although 50 million copies have been bought for Windows PC and Xbox&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;that means the other 350 million were downloaded for free on either Android or &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It&#039;s nice to see &lt;/ins&gt;PUBG &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Mobile &#039;s developers feed some new modes into the game as well as make adjustments &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;improvements.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It&amp;#039;s important to remember now that regardless of how successful PUBG 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 &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PUBG is a flurry of activity at the moment with the various updates and weapon balances , however, is it a case of too little too late? Fortnite has been a literal powerhouse of late, meaning that even some of the most hardened PUBG players have jumped ship for the more colorful delights of Fornite . And there&amp;#039;s only more competition on the way with E3 2018 around the corner sure to debut multiple new battle royale experiences. Whether or not **PlayerUnknown&amp;#039;s Battlegrounds ** can be the goose that laid the golden crate remains to be seen, but one&amp;#039;s thing for sure, there&amp;#039;s gold in them thar hi&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PlayerUnknown&amp;#039;s Battlegrounds has launched its very first Event Pass, the 30-day Sanhok Event Pass, and players are already incredibly frustrated. The Pass, which grants rewards to PUBG players for leveling up via daily time invested and the completion of challenges, has been shown to demand a level of commitment that can be described as excessive. Further, it may even be impossible to complete without paying for the Premium P&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;When Epic Games announced the addition of a free to play battle-royal mode to their then burgeoning title Fortnite , comparisons to Player Unknown&amp;#039;s Battlegrounds quickly began to emerge. Since then, the shooter builder survival hybrid has become Battleground&amp;#039;s biggest competitor and now it seems the rivalry has gone to new heights, with PUBG Corp. taking Epic Games to court over the two games similarit&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Of course, it isn&amp;#039;t hard to see why PUBG Corp. and Bluehole are concerned about Fortnite . In the time since its battle-royal mode launched, the game has seen a surge in popularity among both content creators and casual games. The game has seen such success that not only has it beaten the record for most concurrent players previously held by PUBG but it is also now reported to make more money than it &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Several weeks ago, Bluehole Studio officially put out a fresh Event Pass feature to PlayerUnknown&amp;#039;s Battlegrounds , but due to a lot of bugs, extended maintenance periods, and general instability, not every PUBG fan has been able to fully use the limited-time feature. With this being the case, the video game developer has decided to announce a bonus XP event as an apology of sorts to those who haven&amp;#039;t been able to get their fill of the Event Pass due to errors on behalf of the stu&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Pretty sure some of the later missions give more XP. Gonna go check and update this comment once I’m sure (will probably take a while because it&amp;#039;s 4am in Korea). If you couldn’t actually get to level 20 then that’d be dumb and we’d change&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As Fornite has grabbed headlines over the past few weeks with comet strikes and a dancing Thanos , it has sometimes been easy to forget that PUBG exists if you were to just follow the buzz. Keen to grab the limelight once more and taking yet another page from its rival, the grittier shooter is playing Fornite at its own game as PC users test out a new map with a hidden sec&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;But our name was used to officially promote their game without our knowledge. There was no discussion. It was just a bit surprising and disappointing to see our business partner using our name officially to promote the game mode that is pretty similar to us and there was misunderstanding in the community that we&amp;#039;re officially involved in the proje&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;According to a report from the Korean Times on Friday, [https://Pubgstation.com/ PUBG skins] Corp., a Korean based developer, filed a lawsuit against Epic Games, specifically their Korean arm, asking the court to determine whether similarities between Fortnite and PUBG constitutes copyright infringement.
