When PUBG lauched on December 17, 2017, it took almost a year to become one of the most popular games on Steam. It spent nearly a year in Steam’s Early Access program before being released on Xbox One and PlayStation. The game surpassed all other Steam games in peak concurrent players, even surpassing League of Legends (LoL) in August 2017.
While the game has since become a global sensation, it has been confusing to try to figure out how the heck it launched. Despite being available on three different platforms, PUBG has a strange release schedule. It first launched on Steam’s Early Access program, but it didn’t release officially until late last year. It has now sold more than 30 million copies. That’s an amazing achievement for a game with a similar price.
GeForce GTX graphics cards are an excellent choice for playing PUBG. GeForce GTX graphics cards support the full range of technologies, including ShadowPlay Highlights. ShadowPlay highlights automatically record your kills, knockouts, and deaths. These clips can be shared through the GeForce Experience. GeForce graphics cards also include the Game Ready driver, which automatically tweaks your graphics settings for optimal performance. And as long as your graphics card is able to support the full range of PUBG settings, it should be more than sufficient for the game.
Players can also try out the new graphical settings with the Ascender Attachment. This feature allows players to climb large structures while their Utility Parachute lets them get back to the ground quickly. Another new weapon is the slug-loaded O12 shotgun. The update also features performance and visual upgrades for current-generation consoles. The game is now compatible with more power-efficient consoles. In addition to these features, the game also offers a whole new map, Deston, which includes skyscrapers, mountains, and islands.
PUBG has been a hit for Bluehole, Inc., and the game’s PC version has finally reached full release. The Xbox One version launched on Dec. 12, and received a first patch the next day. Hopefully, PUBG will make its way to more platforms soon, and Bluehole, Inc. will share more details of its plans for the game. After the massive success of PUBG, the developer will be able to bring it to the next level with a new update.
After a positive reception from critics, PUBG is now getting more popularity than ever. Many players have found the game highly addictive and have made it their number one game. This game has also inspired unofficial Chinese clones. The PUBG Corporation has started a number of small tournaments to support the game’s development and launch new in-game tools. It’s hoped that PUBG will eventually become an esport.
