PUBG’s Getting Some Much-Needed Improvements
PUBG’s development team just announced a handful of planned optimizations geared towards improving performance to better the player experience. Players have been voicing their complaints for the PC version of the game for a while now, citing many problems that can hinder the experience and lead to frustrating deaths caused by poor game performance.
“Ever since we launched the 1.0 version of PUBG earlier this year, we’ve been focused on building our team so we can invest in the game’s ongoing development,” the company wrote in a development letter. “We’ve been building new content (like Sanhok), quality-of-life improvements (like map selection and weapon balance), and a whole series of aggressive anti-cheat measures. We want PUBG to be the best game possible so players like you keep loving—and playing—it.”
“Although we’ve made some meaningful improvements to PUBG, we’ve fallen short in other ways,” they continued. “Players have rightfully called us out for failing to address complaints about performance, and recently we haven’t done the best job of communicating about the changes we’re making to the game. Today we want to change that by talking in-depth about the things we’re prioritizing. We’ll also tease some of upcoming content we plan to add to the game.”
The developer also talks about the new Sarhok map, which they’re continuing to tweak and touch up. The map-in-the-making also allows the team to test new changes and features, such as dynamic weather.
“We’ll have a lot more to share about the other goodies coming to Sanhok in the coming weeks,” the letter concluded. “And you can expect more letters like this from us going forward. There’s so much work we have to do to truly deliver on PUBG’s potential. We’ve teased just a few of the upcoming changes for this year in our Roadmap earlier this year, but the things contained there are really just the beginning.”
