The team behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are so sick of hearing people say “fix the game” that they’ve opened a website specifically geared at “fixing the game”.
It’s called FIX PUBG, which “is a phrase that we’ve been hearing a lot lately,” the site says. “Bugs, performance problems, and quality-of-life issues have been limiting PUBG’s true potential, and you want it fixed. So we think it’s time to do something about it.”
Fans and observers would say six to 12 months ago was the time to do something about it, before Fortnite arrived and ate PUBG’s lunch (partly because PUBG, despite being the first big Battle Royale game, ran like trash), but it’s better late than never, I guess.
The site is built around a roadmap that shows exactly what areas of improvement the development team is looking at, and when players can expect something to get better. Or at least get fixed.
It’s a funny site at first glance, but in presenting what’s normally behind-the-scenes timetabling as public information, it’s also an interesting look at just how much shit a developer has to constantly be juggling behind the scenes for an online game.

“impliment combined anti-cheat solution” is set for October.
Should be priority #1!
No doubt.
PRIORITY NUMBA 1!!!!!
When I saw the title I first thought it was going to be something along the lines of a site with the source code encouraging players to fix it themselves, ‘We keep hearing ‘fix PUBG’, well here you go, be our guests if you think it’s so easy!’. Would have garnered a chuckle from me at least.
So are they petitioning themselves to fix the game?
My guess: forum/community mods just wanted a centralized place to point people towards so they can silo bug/performance discussion and prevent it from drowning out any other discussions about what else might save their game.
They need to region block china. It’s not about racism. It’s about our gaming cultures being so different that playing with eachother completely ruins the game experience for us. Hacking if “normalised” over there. It’s highly frowned upon and not as common over here. There is also the language barrier which is a big issue for us Aussies as we’re always thrown in the SEA region. Id prefer to not play then get thrown into a team that i cant understand due to a langage barrier, or killed through walls by hacks.
