PUBG: Battlegrounds is now free to play on all PC and Consoles

PUBG-Battlegrounds-

South Korean video game developer Krafton, makers of Battlegrounds Mobile India, today announced that PUBG: Battlegrounds is now free-to-play (F2P) on PC and consoles. This F2P transition, which was initially announced last month at The Game Awards (TGA), marks the start of a new era for the globally popular battle royale game.

With the game’s transition to F2P, it introduces Battlegrounds Plus, an optional premium account upgrade that allows players to access a variety of new and exclusive in-game features. While all new players will start with a Basic Account that offers access to most game features, they can upgrade to Battlegrounds Plus for a one-time fee of $12.99 USD and gain access to the following:

  • Bonus 1,300 G-COIN
  • Survival Mastery XP + 100% boost
  • Career – Medal tab
  • Ranked Mode
  • Custom Match functionality
  • In-Game items, including the Captain’s Camo set, which includes hat, camo mask and camo gloves

Players who purchased and played PUBG: Battlegrounds before its transition to F2P will receive the PUBG – Special Commemorative Pack, which include an automatic account upgrade to Battlegrounds Plus, the Battle-Hardened costume skin set, the Shackle and Shanks Legacy Pan and the Battle-Hardened Legacy nameplate.

Update 15.2 now live in celebration of the F2P transition

In addition to the F2P transition, update 15.2 is now live in PUBG: Battlegrounds. Update 15.2 introduces Tactical Gear, a new category of in-game items that provide new and existing players with various options for improving their in-game performances that do not involve pure gunplay. But that’s not all. See below for a full rundown of major features added to the game with Update 15.2. The full Update 15.2 Patch Notes are available here.

Expanded Roles with Tactical Gear: Tactical Gear are unique in-game items that players can obtain to offer additional levels of support to their team during a match. Tactical Gear takes up a player’s primary weapon slot but opens up additional strategic options previously unavailable in the game:

Drone: The Drone is a Tactical Gear that allows players to scout a far distance and even pick up items without facing the risk of direct combat. The Drone will spawn on every map and have a large 300-meter operation radius.

EMT Gear: The EMT Gear is a Tactical Gear that allows players to opt into increased healing potential for both themselves and their team at the cost of reduced combat flexibility. Players with the EMT Gear equipped will gain the ability to interact with damaged teammates, allowing them to spend one of their own healing items on their teammate. Players can toggle between different healing items on the bottom screen where a weapon’s fire mode would normally be displayed. EMT Gear will spawn in every map.

Improved In-Game Fluidity with Action Queuing: With the Action Queue feature, players can queue up their next desired action by pressing and holding the button while a previous action is in progress. The action will immediately perform after the action in progress ends. For example, if a player holds the firing key/button while reloading, the gun will fire immediately after the reload action ends. While this feature is turned off in-game by default, players can toggle this in “Settings”, then “Gameplay”.

Improved Onboarding Experience for New Players with Revamped Tutorials: To create a richer gameplay experience for new and returning players, two new in-game tutorial modes have been added to the game.

Basic Training Mode: In this mode, players will be able to play through five stages to help familiarize themselves with key game mechanics including basic character movements, looting and shooting guns, looting and throwing throwables, using healing items and reviving knocked down teammates.

AI Training Match: In this mode, players can drop into a match with 99 AI-controlled Survivors to get a grasp of the typical flow of normal matches. Tutorial messages will pop up throughout each match to offer suggestions on how players should approach a variety of scenarios.

Lobby Tutorial Missions: After completing Basic Training Mode and AI Training Matches, players can complete a series of extra tutorial missions meant to introduce them to additional game modes and features. Players who complete these missions will receive various in-game rewards.

Quality of Life Improvements with Screen Ping Markers: The game’s existing ping system has been improved with the added ability to display the ping on the screen where the player can see. This upgrade to the ping system is available in all Solo, Duo and Squad modes, but is unavailable in Ranked and Esports modes. The goal of this update is to enable quicker and clearer communication between squad mates.

When PUBG: Battlegrounds launched into Steam Early Access in 2017, it popularized the battle royale game genre. To date, the game has sold more than 75 million copies across PC and consoles, making it one of the best-selling games of all time. In the nearly five years since its launch, PUBG: Battlegrounds has continued to expand from its early success and evolve with consistent in-game updates, including new maps, game modes and gameplay features. The PUBG brand has also grown into a multimedia franchise, pushing into other ventures such as PUBG Esports, its expansion of lore with PUBG Universe and additional games such as the recently released mobile title, PUBG: New State.

Infinix Note 11 Review: A decent-looking budget phone with impressive performance

Infinix-Note-11-4

Expanding its Note series, Infinix has come up with Note 11 and Note 11S smartphones in India. With these launches, the Transsion’s popular smartphone brand has further augmented its position in the budget segment with loads of features, capturing the void created by Xiaomi and Realme which are now moving up the price scale. These new Note-series smartphones come with some significant improvements such as a fresh new design, an AMOLED display, XOS 10 along with other features. Here, we have the lower variant i.e. Infinix Note 11, priced at Rs 11,999, that we used for a couple of weeks before writing this review.

Design

Breaking away from tradition, the all-new Infinix Note 11 offers a fresh new flat-edged design with rounded corners, and has a matte-gradient finish on the back panel, which is a good transformation as it doesn’t attract fingerprint smudges. Kudos to its flat form factor, the smartphone will give you the feeling of iPhone 12/13 or Oppo Reno 6. It’s quite slim, having a thickness of 7.9 mm with plastic frame on all sides.

Akin to the frame, the rear panel is also made of a high-quality plastic which looks like a glass panel. We had the Glacier Green colour variant for review, although the handset also comes in Celestial Snow and Graphite Black shades. While the front is dominated by a big display having a dewdrop notch for the selfie camera, on the back you’ll get a rectangular rear camera module that houses three lenses – a big one on the top with two small lenses placed horizontally underneath.

The top of the Infinix Note 11 is plain, whereas on the bottom there’s a USB Type-C port, a primary microphone, speaker grills, and a 3.5mm audio jack. While the left side of the device comes with a SIM tray, the right panel offers a power button with a fingerprint sensor embedded on it along with volume rockers.

Overall, it’s a decent looking smartphone which will give you the feeling of a flagship device.

Display

The handset comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 92% screen-to-body ratio and 750 nits of peak brightness. The display comes with a 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut and a 100000:1 contrast ratio. There is Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. The display, as per the company, is one of the biggest changes, which offers a more accurate and sharper colour and detail. Taken as a whole, the display is good for watching all kinds of content and gaming, and the animations are good and smooth.

Platform

The Infinix Note 11 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMCP storage which is expandable via the dedicated microSD card slot. The powerful processor has a CPU clock speed of up to 2 GHz. The smartphone is further backed by ARM Mali – G52 GPU, which is super clocked at up to 1 GHz. The handset has support for Bluetooth 5, dual-band Wi-Fi, and GPS. It also has stereo speakers and runs Android 11 with XOS 10 on top.

In terms of performance, the processor is good enough for your daily usage and gaming sessions, and does not show any signs of slowing down. The Infinix Note 11 never heated up during my usage and there were no screen freezes. It could also multitask easily between multiple apps.

Besides, the smartphone offers some useful features like X Hide that allow users to hide their banking and financial apps, along with X Clone that duplicates apps. It’s worth use if you have two phone numbers and use WhatsApp on both of them. On the flip side, the smartphone is full of bloatware, which you’ll gradually learn to get rid of.

Cameras

The smartphone houses a triple rear camera setup with the combination of a 50MP primary camera with f/1.6 large aperture, a 2MP depth sensor, and an AI lens along with a Quad-LED flash. For selfies, it houses a 16MP AI camera sensor that sits underneath the waterdrop notch on the front.

Besides, it comes with a video camera with multiple features like Time-lapse video recording mode, Slow Motion video mode, even Bokeh video recording mode, which blurs the background, making the subject stand out by focusing on it. The camera app is straightforward and easy to use, and one can easily switch between different shooting modes.

The shots taken during daylight conditions were good with enough details, whereas they were of average quality in the low light conditions. The Super Night mode allows capturing bright and low noise pictures even in low light conditions. You can also record short videos and videos with up to 2k resolution. The similar story goes on with the front camera. Selfies shot in daylight were decent but average in low light, however thanks to the front flash that did help during night.

Battery

The Infinix Note 11 houses a massive 5,000mAh battery that keeps the smartphone running even after long hours of heavy usage. It’s further backed by a 33W charging support with a Type C charger. The battery backup is capable enough of surviving an entire day even after using it for long gaming sessions. The 33W charging is really fast and it takes nearly an hour to charge the device. Like its predecessors, the all-new Infinix handset stands tall in this department, offering an impressive performance.

Conclusion

The smartphone has got a decent design which will make you feel like holding an iPhone 12/13 in your hand, an impressive AMOLED display, a smooth processor that ensures a great gaming experience, and good cameras which are worth its price. Although it has a couple of bloatware which could be frustrating sometimes, the XOS 10 offered a good user experience. Overall, the smartphone is an upgrade over its predecessor and is a good deal at the given price point.
