Big PUBG PC Patch 12 Testing Begins, Brings New Car, Weapon, Map Selection
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has received plenty of updates since it has been available, but this latest one is probably the biggest one it has received yet. The PUBG PC update 12 brings numerous tweaks to the game, while also adding some brand new content for players to play around with.
First up is the new weapon, which is called the SLR. This new weapon is set to spawn alongside normal world loot, and is a DMR that uses 7.62mm ammo and contains 10 bullets per magazine (20 bullets when extended). While the gun is more powerful than the SKS, it also has more recoil to even things out.
A new vehicle is also being added to the game, which is called the Mirado. This is a classic muscle car that is a fast, four-seat sedan that can only be used on Miramar. Players will usually find one in downtown areas and main city streets. When compared to the other vehicles that the game has to offer, the Mirado is the fastest way to get around town.
Another major addition is the new map selection feature, which finally allows players to play on the map they want to play on. If you pick just one map on its own then you’re guaranteed to play there, though if you pick multiple then the game will randomly drop you into one. It’s worth noting that the developer will be keeping a close eye on this feature, especially as more maps are added in the future.
There’s a lot more to this patch to dig into that includes the likes of weapon attachments, weapon balancing, and more, so be sure to check out the official PUBG PC Update 12 patch notes for the full details.
Love Is a Long Road, the Tom Petty song in the GTA 6 trailer, saw a 36,979% stream increase after Rockstar’s reveal this week. Week-on-week Spotify data suggests that, but we’re sure it’s trending similarly on Apple Music and others.
Rockstar and the streaming service released an official Grand Theft Auto Radio playlist with six hours of hits from ZZ Top, Dr. Dre, Megadeth, and others. You can hear it here. Ever wanted to listen to Tom Petty this week?
This week’s Game Awards—what to expect? Geoff Keighley is keeping most announcements under wraps, but he has teased an update on Atlus’ long-awaited Metaphor: ReFantazio. The Persona team’s latest project may be released in 2024, according to rumors.
The title returned this summer after being revealed eons ago, but details are scarce. A new trailer should show more story, gameplay, and systems, as well as a possible launch date. Want to see more of this? The link will tell you when the Game Awards are.
If you play video games, you’ve probably played Skyrim, Bethesda’s decade-old open-world RPG. It’s become a meme after endless rereleases. The company wants to sell paid, player-created mods again after not getting the message from players.
Bethesda tested selling Skyrim mods on Steam in 2015, generously giving modders 25% of the proceeds. After Steam’s 30% platform fee, Bethesda would receive 45%, the “current industry standard.”. After fan backlash, Bethesda removed paid mods, and Steam refunded all purchases.
In subsequent years, Bethesda’s Creation Club added user-created content to Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, requiring that it not violate lore. Bethesda could also release official Creation Club content on PlayStation.
The developer revealed Bethesda Game Studios Creations and a major update for the oldest RPG today. Players can still upload free mods, but creators can now apply for the Verified Creator Program. Certified modders can charge for their work. Since paid moderators no longer have lore-friendly restrictions, expect chaos.
This is already upsetting the community, and the line between official Creation Club content and moderators is blurring. The fact that paid mods disable PlayStation Trophies but not free Creation content is a disaster.
What do you think of Skyrim’s sorry state? Still playing? How’s the PlayStation Creation Club content?
