Video game addiction isn't a new phenomenon, but reports of it seem to be increasing. It's unclear if the nature of battle royale games just make them more addicting than other titles, or if game addiction just wasn't as reported on as much in the past. After all, the gaming industry continues to grow and seems to get bigger every year, meaning more people are playing games than ever before, so there are more opportunities for people to become "addicted" to games than in the p

Perhaps a long-overdue revamp of the game's original map will help entice players back, even if it's for nostalgia's sake. A new version of PUBG 's first map, Erangel, has been in the works since March of this year, and developer PUBG Corp released a video earlier today showcasing the progress that's been made. It's less noticeable than its counterparts because PUBG has always had a more realistic presentation, but there are some clear graphical updates that make the map much more visually appealing, even if it does suffer from the traditional browns, greens, and greys aesthetic that many apocalypse-inspired shooters embr

PUBG has also been openly criticized about the decisions being made behind the scenes of the game, especially those regarding skins and other cosmetic items usually purchased through microtransactions. The infamous Suicide Squad collaboration from last year raised the ire of many a player for the frankly ridiculous cost of some simple cosmetic costumes, and the game's marketplace on Steam has gone through several iterations of comedic inflation on sought-after items. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but PUBG also has been losing ground when it comes to pure play, with many believing Fortnite to be a more enjoyable experience while Apex Legends has more refined and skill-intensive mechanics. Where once there was a clear niche PUBG occupied, now the game's identity has begun to wa

In all of that time, I've never seen an update as influential to PUBG as the addition of Canted Sights. In case you have no idea what that means or you're just looking to learn how to use them, here you

Video game addiction in general is a growing concern, though outside of India, much of the anxiety surrounding the issue is not aimed at PUBG . While PUBG seems to be the dominant battle royale game in India, Fortnite is much more popular elsewhere in the world, and has had its fair share of strange addiction stories tied to it as well. One of the more extreme examples saw a young girl admitted to rehab for Fortnite addicti

Greene's announcement appeared earlier today on his Twitter account , where the creator of PUBG reflected on the last half-decade of his career. While Greene is clearly appreciative of the title that made him an industry star, he also sounded relieved to finally be heading in a different direction with his creative process, stat

While the future remains unknown (sorry) for Greene, it's an exciting move from a creative mind that was clearly ready for a change. PUBG might not be faring well lately, but Greene managed to turn a relatively small project into a worldwide phenomenon, and whatever he turns his attention to next will surely be measured under intense scrutiny and anticipation as a result. As the battle royale genre begins to grow a little stale for some, perhaps PlayerUnknown will be the one to innovate gaming's trajectory once m

That belief can be seen not only in Metal Gear Solid concept art but this new short film-style trailer. Nothing seen in the trailer can actually be executed in the game, after all. Well, except wiping out your opponents, that is. Instead, the trailer retains the general themes and concepts represented in the game. It also emphasizes the epic, tense, and amusing scenarios that can arise in the game - all of which serve to make the genre so addictive. With a big screen Resident Evil reboot coming, Hollywood isn't giving up on mining material from games. Thankfully, Vogt-Roberts is helping to pave the way and show them how it's d

Whatever the case may be, it's clear that more studies need to be done on game addiction to determine the proper way to diagnose the disorder as well as treat it. So far, it seems as though psychiatrists are treating game addiction the same as drug addiction, and Https://Pubgfrontierzone.com it's unclear if that is the best way to handle it or not. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if other governments react in the way India did to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , and just start banning certain games outri

A lot about the new move for Greene is unclear, including what his role will be in PUBG moving forward. It's possible he will still continue to offer significant input on future changes to PUBG , or it's possible he will be entirely focused on new projects instead. The only info we currently have about the new team being formed is that it currently exists and is apparently hiri

Greene also announced that his newly-formed division would necessitate a change in location for him as well, as he'll be leaving Seoul in favor of Amsterdam, stating he will be focused on "building out an entirely new division." Not much is known about PUBG Special Projects, but Greene indicated that its priorities will be on research & game development, so it won't be too much of a departure from what his former role in PUBG Corp.
