In case you were wondering, editing a configuration file in your copy of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds could result in getting banned from the game, according to a change that was made on the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds FAQ page.
Recently, we learned that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' publisher Bluehole only expected the game to sell a mere 200,000 or 300,000 copies in its first year. The game had been released for only five months when it was announced to have sold more than 10 million copies through Steam Early Access.


In less than five months, online battle royale shooter, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has sold more than 10 million copies in Early Access . That's crazy. It also recently surpassed 1 million concurrent players on Steam , a feat no non-Valve game has ever accomplished. Further, it is also close to breaking the all-time concurrent player record currently held by Dota 2 (1,291,328 players). __ That's also cr

The new patch will also add a foggy weather mechanic to the game, which will make environmental awareness even more crucial for top tier play while also improving the game's overall aesthetic presentation. The foggy weather mechanic was partially unveiled on Twitter yesterday to celebrate PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds concurrent users triumph on Steam recently, which saw the game surpass Dota 2 on its way to one million concurrent us


It has been a while since the last patch for the wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was last released. Ever since developer Bluehole Studio made the decision to abandon the game's patch schedule in favor of creating better, more meaningful updates when they were implemented, players have been waiting for a substantial new content rele


Bluehole Studio has promised that, alongside the gun and fog additions, there will be FPP leaderboards and a number of bug fixes coming to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the update. The full list of changes coming in the new patch have yet to be revealed, but given that the changes are going live on a public test server soon, fans should expect more details shor

For the time being, though, there seems to be other priorities. Greene mentioned a few specifics, like a nighttime setting, something which fans have been requesting for quite a while. He teased that this is already being prototyped, and apparently players will be "surprised at how good it loo

"No, editing any game files to gain an unfair advantage is against the Rules of Conduct. This includes changing any game configuration files to result in changes that cannot be made via the in-game settings menu."


Let me say that again: Bluehole expected within its first year on the market, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds would ship at best 300,000 units. It has already sold 10 million in less than six months. Again, cr


Currently in the works at studio Automation in the United Kingdom, Project X includes a last-man standing player-versus-player "sport" mode that allows up to 400 players to compete at a time, which is where comparisons to the well-loved PUBG Beginner guide|https://pubgplayground.com/ will undoubtedly be made. But the enigmatic game is much more than just one hoping to trump one of this year's biggest games. It actually offers up to 1,000 concurrent players to battle in a single world on a staggeringly large 12km by 12km


Again, this is no small feat for the development team. The nighttime setting requires plenty of work in its own right, and won't be ready to go live for some time. Still, it's an intriguing glimpse into the future of the game, and a good sign that the studio is listening to player feedb


A record many thought unbreakable: has been broken. That's right Dota 2's record for the most concurrent players on Steam has been broken by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. A non-Valve game. A game not even out of Early Acc


What's even more bonkers is that all of this relatively came out of nowhere. No one predicted this. Sure, a new Minecraft or Grand Theft Auto will see mega numbers out the gate. But who could have foreseen the battle royale survival shooter and debut project from developer Bluehole selling 10 million copies (and counting) before it even fully releases? Well, the game's director and designer Brendan Greene sure didn't. And Bluehole even less
