PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is about to receive a new patch that could drastically alter the game. What is this game changer? Fog!

The PLAYERUNKNOWN SET was first available […]
Sure, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds might have hit 800,000 concurrent players last week, but how many were actively trying to earn a chicken dinner? I ask this because a new trend of “AFK farming” has hit the game, with players exploiting the reward system in order to earn points without actually being at their computer. Points in PUBG translate to coins, […]
Bringing a controller to a keyboard and mouse fight is never a good idea. This is especially true when the fight in question takes place within the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds universe! As PUBG is one of the more hardcore PC games out there, arming yourself with an Xbox controller could be considered virtual suicide. However, I’m not one to […]
