Brendan Greene, aka PlayerUnknown, will be leaving his old position working on _PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ in favor of a different direction. The creator of one of the most popular battle royale games of all-time announced he would be pursuing a brand new project and would be taking on a different role within PUBG Corporation as a res

Greene isn't speaking just about himself either; he wants to instill this same philosophy into his new studio, the PUBG Special Projects team. He aims to get his team to a place where they work "four days a week and have a day to do whatever they want." Happiness is his priority for his development team, but even he acknowledges that they're all going to have to work hard to get to that po

Now, there’s no questioning that something went really wrong for PUBG . How the battle royale mighty have fallen. When the ever-popular Fortnite came along, it boasted an accessibility, a ludicrous sense of fun and an ability to launch on EVERY DANG SYSTEM EVER. All of this amounts to one of the biggest deals in gaming since the likes of Angry Birds , and PUBG has largely been left in the d

PUBG was once the apple of the eye of battle royale players everywhere, but has recently fallen on hard times as more competitors crop up with innovative additions to the formula that PUBG innovated. Still, the game is one of the first of its kind, and kickstarted a genre that has now come to completely dominate the gaming industry. While PUBG appears to be heading in the wrong direction of late, it's difficult to dispute that Greene has a keen eye for what would catch the interest of gamers, and it's not like PUBG is going anywhere - it's just unlikely to pose much of a threat to Fortnite or the insurgent Apex Legends at this po

While a leak of PS4 PUBG was recently teased , it's all but official now. The timing for a PS4 version of PUBG comes exactly a year after the mega popular PC game found its home on Xbox One via the Xbox Game Preview program. That being said, the game's later "full" Xbox One release in September 2018 continues to plagued by performance issues, bugs, and aggressive monetization tactics and players have been airing their grievan

Despite all the criticisms, there are sure to be some PS4 owners who are glad that they can finally play PUBG with their DualShock 4 controllers. It has been a massive year for Sony's next-gen console with exclusives like God of War and Spider-Man , meaning that even at this late stage of its life cycle, the PS4 is still shifting an impressive number of units and has now outsold the PS3 . PUBG could help with holiday sales, while Xbox tries to tease something of their own coming to players for the g

While the weight of Greene's experience with harassment clearly continues to stay with him, he also acknowledges how it has helped him grow both as a person and as a leader. Health has become a priority for Greene, who after working 14-hour game development days on PUBG now insists on taking weekends off and ensuring he makes the most of his vacation t

The battle between PUBG and Fortnite has raged since long before PUBG Corp's copyright claim against Epic Games , but it looks increasingly likely that Fortnite will keep the battle royale crown. 2018 got off to a bad start for PUBG when the PC version dropped up to 50% of its players while Fortnite continued to grow. That being said, PUBG collectibles|https://pubgfrontierzone.com/ Corp __ looks set to continue squeezing every penny it can out of the franchise while it still remains the most popular Steam game even while dropping player counts mont

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

The battle royale title, which actually gave the genre its jump start that lead to massive cultural phenomena like Fortnite and Apex Legends come to the fore, was voted in as 2018's best Steam game by fans, who were prompted to name their favorites across eight awa

The Fix PUBG campaign, which ended in November, was a step in the right direction as the developers sought to address the most concerning problems and performance issues in the game. But it looks like it could be a very difficult 2

While PUBG 's addition of the DCEU Joker & Harley Quinn skins is an obvious nod to competitor Fortnite 's Infinity War event earlier this summer, there are a few differences that make PUBG 's decision much more of an issue for fans. First, unlike Fortnite , which is free-to-play, PUBG costs $29.99, which means the Joker and Harley Quinn skins cost nearly as much as the full game. Second, Fortnite 's crossover event happened during the summer the movie launched, while PUBG 's partnership with Suicide Squad comes two years after the movie was in theat
