In other PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds news, the partnership with Microsoft is going to allow Bluehole to use the same water tech that Sea of Thieves employs. This was revealed by Brendan Greene in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz.
“We can get that water tech, essentially for free, and we can share stuff with them … That’s just invaluable, because their water is great. Having that would really finish off our world nicely.”
Some cool stuff is coming to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds! Are you happy with the changes being made to the game?
