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.

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.

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
