"For us, the free of PUBG 1.0 is non the halt to anything," CH Kim, CEO of PUBG Corp, told me over the telephone (through a translator) before this week. "It's merely i of the many milestones that nosotros looked frontward to accomplishing. We've seen a lot of Early Access games remain inwards Early Access for a rattling long sum of time. That's why nosotros made a hope early that nosotros would exit of Early Access in addition to brand our 1.0 free inside this year."
That solar daytime has come, every bit PUBG is similar a shot officially out of Early Access. The novel desert map, Miramar, is alive on servers along amongst the novel weapons, vehicles, in addition to vaulting in addition to climbing systems that a lot of players conduct maintain already been experiencing on the examination servers for the past times pair of weeks.
If you're diving into Miramar for the kickoff time, we've got a guide to the novel desert map here. And, piece PUBG has alone merely left Early Access today, it's natural to wonder what mightiness last inwards shop for it over the upcoming year.
CH Kim told me that, apart from continuing to piece of job on improve optimization in addition to performance, i master copy focus would last on making improvements to PUBG every bit a budding esport, both for players in addition to viewers.
"We are inwards the procedure of discussing amongst a lot of dissimilar production companies approximately the globe to run across [what] nosotros could piece of job together on, but we'll last putting inwards the endeavor to figure out what dissimilar tools in addition to functions nosotros tin add together to brand the procedure itself to a greater extent than attractive in addition to enjoyable," Kim said.
"When it comes to the in-game rules nosotros are doing a lot of experimenting correct at this moment, we've been gathering some of the occur [ranked players] inwards Korea in addition to trying to examination out the speed in addition to the size of the blueish zone. We tried removing the ruby zone for sure enough games, in addition to those are some of the experiments that conduct maintain taken house then far. And when it comes to the scoring system, because amongst battle royale yous can't merely conduct maintain i jibe in addition to last over amongst it, at that topographic point needs to last a serial of matches inwards guild for us to larn a winner, we're making tweaks in addition to we're farther fine-tuning what to create amongst the scoring organisation every bit well.
"While the meat game mechanic itself volition remain the same, nosotros experience that throughout this experiment nosotros could conduct maintain some form of to a greater extent than established tournament for PUBG side past times side year.
"Or, like, a PUBG league side past times side year," Kim added.

I also asked Kim nigh the abrupt rush of battle royale games in addition to modes that conduct maintain been appearing over the past times few months, every bit good every bit his conduct maintain on Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene's recent comments nigh needing stricter IP protection inwards the gaming industry.
"For us, nosotros experience similar it's rattling natural for the genre itself to expand," Kim said. "Brendan commented for some companies that were specifically copying some of [PUBG's] game-specific features. I intend he expressed his concerns toward that, but the fact that the final human being standing battle royale genre itself is expanding, its something that nosotros experience is rattling natural. And for us, nosotros experience similar [ours is] the kickoff game that showed the globe that this is a genre that could range broad popularity inside the gaming industry."
If you're non i of the 25 i G one thousand people who conduct maintain already bought PUBG, the toll of $30 on Steam hasn't changed every bit it leaves Early Access.
