Here's how the math works out. For non-paying players, there are only so many sources of experience every day. They break down into daily experience earned just by playing, daily experience earned through completing challenges, weekly experience earned through challenges, and "Normal" challenges that persist for the entire ev

Premium Event Pass buyers don't have it much easier, but their experience cap is much higher and their rewards much more exciting. Players will still have to complete between eight or nine out of ten challenges to reach level

Despite these worrying numbers, PUBG is still an incredibly popular game. In fact, it's still the most played game on Steam by far, and its concurrent numbers beat out all other titles on Valve's gaming platform. While stressing that PUBG is far from dead, Bluehole has to be worried about losing such a drastic amount of players in a short amount of time. Losing 50% of active players is a huge deal, even if there's still millions of people playing the game every

After months of waiting, **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** is finally releasing the full version of its Sanhok map on June 22. Coming exclusively to the PC version of the game, PUBG 's third map will be 1/4 the size of the other two, which makes it conveniently close to the dimensions of Fortnite . As well as a new locale to explore, players are also being lumbered with more controversial ways for PUBG Corp. to make money thanks to a Fortnite -inspired event p

It's also unclear how this ban will impact Shroud's upcoming appearance on PUBG Crafting guide's Squad Showdown on July 13, an event PUBG Corp is hosting with Twitch Prime in commemoration of Amazon's Prime Day (Twitch is owned by Amazon). Shroud was slated to play in the showdown alongside several other top Twitch streamers, but this temporary ban may put a halt to t

There are a few key factors that have contributed to the loss of all those players. A big one is that PUBG 's key competitor, Fortnite , is a free-to-play game. Therefore, if more casual gamers are trying to get into the Battle Royale scene with friends, it's a much easier to start playing Fortnite than it is to play **PUBG ** , and it helps that Fortnite is practically on every major platform out there. Players have also lost trust in Bluehole over loot box concerns, as they sell keys to unlock the loot boxes for real money (which can then be sold on the Steam market afterwards). Add to the fact that quality improvements have been slow in development, whereas Fortnite gets special events and sizable overhauls practically every w

"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's 4am in Korea). If you couldn’t actually get to level 20 then that’d be dumb and we’d change

In a community announcement on Steam , PUBG revealed what makes Sanhok different to its larger rivals and what gamers can expect when they explore the dense jungles and forgotten temples of Southeast Asia. A big draw is the fact that loot will spawn more frequently than on the Erangel and Mirimar maps and there is a brand new weapon fighting the SCAR-L rifle for fan-favorite status. New to Sanhok is the QBZ95, an assault rifle with 5.56mm rounds that can hold up to 40 rounds. That isn't all that's new with the latest update tho

They say that all's fair in love and war, so PUBG is here to remind its players just that. According to PUBG Corp. on Steam , a new update is coming to PUBG that will tweak some of the game's biggest draws and weaknesses. According to the post, the main aim is to level the playing field when it comes to the battle royale's weap

UPDATE: It looks like there's already enough XP in the free missions to get to level 20, but our lead gameplay designer says he wants to make some changes next week to give players a little more wiggle room (to make it slightly easier to get to level 20). Updates will come next week. In the meantime, just do those missio

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' downward turn in popularity has happened while Fortnite has ascended into the mainstream. The two games have had a tumultuous relationship since Epic Games launched their Battle Royale mode late last year, and they are now involved in a legal battle with PUBG Corp. over copyright infringement . Over the past several months, Fortnite has seen several gameplay overhauls, had a crossover event with Marvel , and even teased its first vehicle, which has all helped in establishing the game as one of the top titles to

The post reminds PUBG players that this is the first time a balance patch like this has been introduced and that it will be trialed on the test servers before going live. Weapon attachments will undergo similar changes, although the post doesn't reveal exactly how the armory will be affected. Elsewhere, the lauded level three helmets are being confined solely to supply drops. Effectively an extra life to players, the level three helmet was crucial in protecting your head from those sniper sh
