Microsoft shocked everyone back at E3 2018 when they revealed that they had acquired Playground Games, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, The Initiative, and Compulsion Games , but they were still able to add two more studios to that lineup today: inXile Entertainment and Obsidian Entertainm

Yes, there are similar ones. Battle Royale games have blasted off in the gaming world, many soaring past the popularity heights of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . I don’t think I need to elaborate on which one that is. Then, some have failed to capture the feeling that the battle royale genre has to offer . Nevertheless, these titles do not come close to the suspenseful and tactical nature that is just oozing out of every crevice of PU

While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been available for some time, the Battle Royale phenomenon has only continued to grow with new updates and features added regularly, and now the game's next major update will also include its long-awaited next

While the wildly-popular Battle Royale game is now available on the go , PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still seeing its original PC version getting significant new updates and additions, with the latest PC update dropping some new customization options for players to enjoy with weapon sk

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is available now on PC, Xbox One, iOS, and Android. For a closer look at the upcoming changes and additions coming from Update 15 on PC, you can read the full patch notes below, along with several new images and a few vid

This is on a horse-by-horse basis, which is to say if your horse gets destroyed, you have to start from scratch with a new one. The Horse Reviver potion will, fortunately, resurrect your horse. It's expensive, but worth having aro

On that same note, instead of using money for guns and stuff, you should invest in the camp as soon as possible. It's a great way to improve the condition of your comrades as well as get valuable upgrades. I already mentioned the fast travel and horse hitch, but there are more. You can actually max it out pretty fast if you're good with managing your money. I was a little disappointed once I basically finished in the third chap

Wow. While Xbox Game Pass may still be the third most popular gaming subscription service , in my opinion, it offers the strongest lineup of titles available without the need of streaming. The service is discounted for the time being and you'll soon be able to download games from your phone as well, so now seems like as good of a time as ever to jump

We saw a bit of them in action on the game's Paris stage as well, and they look as crazy as you'd think. Jump Force launches on February 15, though Bandai Namco Entertainment and Spike Chunsoft are still promising more character reveals leading up until lau

After a long period of silence , Sumo Digital and Microsoft finally shared more information on Crackdown 3 and its multiplayer mode. We learned that the game will be launching on February 15, and like other first party games will be included with Xbox Game Pass at lau

This is why the two games are not a great comparison. On one side, Epic’s battle royale experience is all about close range combat and constructing forts. Whereas PUBG Corporation's rendition revolves around patience, strategy, and close to medium range combat. Your opinion of each game will most likely align with your playstyle. Most people love to run and gun. That is a big reason why Call of Duty sells so incredibly well every year and that is probably why Fortnite exploded. Well, besides it also being f

We’ve increased the delay for breath recovery time from one to four seconds. (In other words, when you lift your head up out of the water, it’ll now take four seconds before you begin to recover your bre

Crackdown 3 is also receiving a 5v5 multiplayer mode called Wrecking Zone that takes advantage of Microsoft's Azure technology for mass destruction across two maps at launch. After a tumultuous development process, it's great to finally see the game so close to finally shipping. The original Crackdown will also soon be available via Xbox Backwards Compatibility, so series fans should be satisfied over the next few mon

Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage.
