Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds opens application process for new partners!
Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds has certainly been one of the hottest games this year. PUBG, as it’s known in the gaming world, has sold 4 million copies in just three months according to Player Unknown himself. The game has been an absolute juggernaut since stomping it’s way onto the scene in March. The community of PUBG is one of the strongest in recent years, with its current partners devoted to streaming the game almost full-time. So the company has decided to bring on new partners. A tweet sent out on June 30th from the @PUBGpartners twitter, states the application process starts today July 1st and runs through July 7th until 12 am KST, which is July 6th at 11 am EDT. Time zones are rough, I know.
Some of the current partners include Sacriel, JoshOG from Twitch, and Magnetron on Mixer. While the team has primarily been focused on Twitch, given the size and viewership of the platform, It’s also looking to include partners from the hot-new live streaming platform from Microsoft called Mixer. The application includes areas for not only Twitch streamers but Mixer streamers as well. Which, I may be a bit biased in this area, but it’s great to see the community team with the game is open to including the streamers from Mixer.
From the actual Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds website, benefits of becoming a partner include early access to new features, priority placement, priority support, exclusive swag & in-game items, personalized partner banner, and promotion on official social media channels.
From a personal perspective, the entire PUBG team has done a spectacular job at listening and including the community. The community team on social media has done a fantastic job at responding to most tweets and retweeting clips. The developer side listens to the community and rolls out bug fixes as quickly as possible. Remember, the game is still currently in Early-Access on Steam for $29.99. While that may seem kind of expensive for an Early-Access game, in my opinion, it’s totally worth the price.
This game is easily headed to being one of the greatest games of all-time. I know, strong words, but actually, give this game a shot. It’s fun with friends whether running with a squad of four, rolling with a partner in duos, or lone-wolfing it in solos. The detail and unique feel to this game put it at the top of the list for me.
Fight against 99 other players to be the last one standing.
Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds is a battle royale type game. You drop in from an airplane with 99 other players. Search to find guns and accessories to improve your chances of survival. Be the last one to survive and grab that illustrious chicken dinner.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
