Microsoft X018: Here Are The Six Biggest Announcements

From Prophet of AI


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


Fortnite can feel the complete opposite. Don’t get me wrong; the game is fantastic. I see why it has exploded into what it is today. It still never connected with me though. While you will find yourself in a lot more battles in Epic’s rendition of battle royale, I always felt that it was missing some suspense. No matter where you are at in Fortnite , you have cover. Well, unless you do not have any building materials, but that is not to often since you can gather materials from almost every object. Running from town to town usually is not an issue because if an enemy spots you and starts firing, just pop up a few walls and boom, cover! In fact, you can pull an entire fortress out of your pocket at a moment's notice, provided you have the equipment. If I see another player off in the distance, a distance close enough that I can do some damage, I won’t bother because the opponent can erect a tower at the snap of a fin


This means that for example, when aiming down the sight, you won't gain the full accuracy improvements from ADS until your sights are aligned.



The winning player or team will now be given approximately 8 seconds to celebrate their victory before the match ends and results are displa


PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds shocked the video game world back in early 2017. Its creative take on the typical multiplayer shooter paved the way for the future of online action games. Fortnite has raked in the dough by branching off of the playstyle of PUBG . Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V will both include a battle royal mode tailored toward those series. However, despite it being a year and a half after the game initially took off, there still hasn't been a game that can replicate the experience that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds provi


Fixed an issue where when players leave the vehicle and the vehicle is positioned right next to the window of a building, players would go into the building through the window when getting out off the veh


Finally, the Steam Community post from PUBG Corps also detailed that the developer is working on is a region lock-esque system for improving network performance for players in-game. Specifically, the system would only connect players from that region to connect and play, and regions would be invisible to players residing in other regions (excluding players that team up from opposite regio


Video game companies often try to market a companion app for their games. I don't know if they're just trying to cross promote something that will get phone users to generate traffic, or if the developers legitimately got behind this thing as a useful service. Red Dead Redemption II's is on the latter half. It's actually useful, which is something I ignored until my friend messaged me and told me to check it out. It's a great way to use the


Think of the Mirado as a compliment to the other unique vehicles on Miramar: The van is extremely sturdy, but slow and ineffective when taken off-road; The pickup is great for off-road travel; And the Mirado is the fastest way to blaze down a high


Yes, you can miss missions. Now that may make sense if your caravan moves to a new area, or if a character, the quest giver, passes away. Those seem obvious, but there was one that didn't seem so obvious. In chapter three, I had two yellow missions as well as a white mission that said Abigail wanted to talk to me. Well when I did one of the yellows, Abigail’s disappeared, which was weird because it seemingly had nothing to do with what I just did. That's just the one I caught. Did I miss more before t


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is available now on Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android - for a closer look at the latest changes in update #8 for PUBG 1.0 on PC, you can check out the patch notes below, with the updates currently available on the game's test server and will be available globally down the l


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 Weapons 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


Whenever there are less than ten other players left in the round, oh boy, it’s a ride. Crawling through the thick grass in complete silence not knowing whether someone is right next to you causes my hands to sweat. I legitimately get nervous and my hands begin to tremble each time because I get filled with so much anxiety. Even the best players can’t just run around all willy nilly. If you are caught in the open, most of the times that's it. You're done for. The last five minutes of a round in PUBG are some of the most stressful and suspenseful moments I have ever experienced in a game. However, the payoff of a chicken dinner also is one of the most rewarding feelings I ever f
