During a livestream yesterday Twitch streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek stated that he received a one month ban from PUBG following an incident where he played alongside a hacker.

The ban comes on the heels of lengthy community speculation as to whether or not the game’s developers would actually discipline one of their game’s most popular streamers.

Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, a popular PUBG Twitch streamer known for his skilled play and quick reflexes, recently played alongside a hacker. When fans noticed the hacker on Shroud’s stream and shared clips on social media, it sparked debate over what to do about top players fraternising with cheaters.

A declining player base. Multiple public-relations gaffes. And gameplay that still feels unfinished. Can PUBG turn its fortunes around, or will the game that launched a whole genre be remembered as just a flash in the frying pan?

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still working the kinks out of its new map, Sanhok, adding more and details with each new test period. The most recent test opened the map to all players, who have discovered strange golden chests lurking around the island.

It's a strange world we live in where cheating in video games can get you fined and arrested. Yet, here we are! Earlier this year, 120 suspects were apprehended by Chinese authorities, in relation to the creation and distribution of PUBG cheats. Now, 15 more have been rounded up, along with a whopping fine of 30 million yuan ($6.24 million).

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is getting a level select, presumably so everyone can avoid playing on Miramar. The option will come to the test server soon, allowing players to choose exactly where they get to blow each other up.

PlayerUnknown Battleground's upcoming map, Savage, returned to experimental test servers yesterday with a new coat of paint. In addition to adding more buildings and new textures, the update brings incredibly loud and annoying doors to the starting area.

PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds' new event, War, turns the battle royale game into a regular multiplayer shooter full of large teams and quick respawns. It's loud, messy and a damn good time.

This week, a limited amount of players can test the latest map in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, codenamed "Savage." This map is significantly smaller than the game's other two maps. The resulting action provides a breath of fresh air, kicking Battlegrounds' usually deliberate pacing into something much more frantic.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds released on Steam early access on 23 March 2017. Since then, it has erupted into one of the largest games in the world and expanded with new features and maps. The road has been bumpy, with raucous highs and dire lows.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is spicing things up with special events -- limited time game modes with special weapons and squad rules. The latest event, which kicked off yesterday, adds a special flare gun for calling supply drops. It's a good idea, but the execution is too timid.

PUBG Mobile players struggling to survive the grand battle royale have a new problem to worry about. Crafty players using emulation and computer mouse and keyboard are playing the game, facing down other players with a massive advantage.

PUBG Mobile isn't just a surprisingly solid port, it also has a few key features that the main game doesn't. These changes could help breathe life into the game as it battles Fortnite and helps all us chicken dinner-seeking buffoons enjoy the game even more.

PUBG Mobile released worldwide yesterday, and it's pretty awesome. But between my own string of victories and the countless chicken dinners on social media, it sure feels like things are too easy.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds forces all of us to make bad decisions sometimes.

The first day of the PUBG Invitational in Katowice ended in a nightmare scenario of a circle where three teams competed for the dominance of an incredibly small amount of space.

You know your game has a problem when the winner of a charity match was happy to cheat their arse off. PUBG isn't alone when it comes to such infractions, but it's taken its time sorting out proper tools for handling the deadbeats. If you've been waiting for news, a fresh post on the game's Steam hub should prove enlightening.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' desert map of Miramar is a vast wasteland where one bad drop can leave you without a hiding place or weapons. A new update implements changes to the map, which had become so unpopular that players have been editing their game's files to avoid it.

Winning in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds sometimes means playing dirty and hiding until the right moment. Originally, I used shrubbery and plants as my secret weapon, but the new desert map of Miramar features another devious hiding spot behind a very specific kind of crate.
