<br>Not long after its main competitor Fortnite came to iOS devices, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds released a mobile version as well. Available to both iOS and Android users and requiring no special invite codes at launch, PUBG Mobile seems to have taken off as one of the more popular battle royale mobile games on the market, and for good rea<br><br>First, though, he mentioned updates. The team is committing to more frequent updates, with big content delivery coming every two months, and smaller updates coming more frequently. The big ones will make changes to systems or drop content, where smaller updates will focus on bugs. Aesthetics will be updated now and again as well. Bluehole will also launch an Experimental Test Server to help get feedback from players on future content.<br><br> <br>Besides automatically looting and equipping upgrades, PUBG Mobile improves the looting process in another key way. Whenever a player is killed in PUBG , their body disappears and is replaced by a brown box that holds all their gear. Thanks to the game’s color scheme, it can sometimes be very difficult to find these boxes, but PUBG Mobile makes it easier by marking them with glowing green lig<br><br> <br>Of course, not everything on the roadmap is targeting the Fortnite audiences and much of the upcoming plans are simple tweaks and polishing of what PUBG does best. Improving on the graphics, the art team is reportedly working on all around improvements to make the game more aesthetically pleasing. For instance, check out the new art direction on buildi<br><br> <br>News comes from the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds development blog , where the studio was hoping to clear the air and create a prioritization list for the community. The most notable change in the works is a brand new island map that is set to be only 4x4km — likely the biggest play towards the Fortnite audience. This new map will be available on PUBG ‘s experimental test server starting next mo<br><br> <br>One common criticism lobbied at PUBG is its poor rewards system. Players are given some BP, PUBG ‘s in-game currency , at the end of every match, which is then spent on crates that often yield lackluster cosmetics. While PUBG Guide Mobile still has lackluster rewards in many regards, one thing it does that other versions of the game may want to emulate is its use of daily log-in bonuses. Daily log-in bonuses encourage regular activity and stand as yet another way to reward players for the time they’re spending with the g<br><br>PlayerUnknown also wants to get Battlegrounds onto the eSports scene, but isn’t ready yet. They are in the process of developing systems for broadcasters to use for better match coverage and want to work on it more before letting people use it. The data analytics team at Bluehole is working to improve the ranking and player performance data to make sure they are ready to get into the eSports world as well.<br><br>Like many other early access titles, Bluehole did an admirable job of keeping fans informed on the short and long-term plans of PUBG. From weekly patches to minor overhauls and brand-new features, Bluehole embraced their ever-growing fanbase through teases on social media and trailers at E3 to showcase the imminent future of the best-seller. This continued until PUBG 1.0 launched in December, and ever since the developer and its community representatives have kept relatively quiet, leaving many fans in a period of confusion and growing disinterest in regards to the game’s future. While this likely isn’t the only reason for the game’s recent droppage, Bluehole should resume their initiative to keep fans informed on what lies on the horizon now that PUBG has officially released, including not only the rumored PS4 release, but the core game’s new features, weapons, maps, improvements and more. Fortunately, PUBG Corp community manager Sammie Kang addressed an upcoming roadmap for PUBG in early 2018 on Twitter, meaning this key step towards repairing the developer’s relation with its fans could be arriving in the near future.<br><br>As PUBG came closer to launch, many of the small updates, in addition to the expected refinements and tweaks, included new weapons or clothing items, with the former primarily being loot crate-exclusive guns that weren’t common enough to have a drastic impact on the core gameplay for most players. While these small additions were welcome, and would continue to be so over the months to come, Bluehole will have to set their sights higher if they want to keep old players returning and attract new players. Considering how large an impact the second map has made upon the playerbase, concrete details regarding a third or fourth map could spark intrigue among the community, as well as the assortment of new vehicles that could be found within it. Beyond the predictable, Bluehole and PUBG Corp. likely have a few surprises up their sleeves as PUBG enters its second year and it will be interesting to see whether or not the developers can curb the current downward trend of one of 2017’s definitive titles.<br>
