![]() ![]() No matter which game you go into, you’re going to find an active and large playerbase.Īt the moment PUBG is available on PC, Xbox One, iOS and Android while Fornite can be played on PC, iOS, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. That’s where we’re at with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite at the moment. As long as the game is popular, you’re going to encounter players to fight and run from. When you’re playing online multiplayer games, naturally you’re going to want to see a highly-populated lobby.Īt a certain point, though, specific numbers are kind of pointless. So far more than one million players have been banned.īluehole has apologized to PUBG players for this and asked for understanding, promising that a 2018 roadmap detailing exciting new features will be released in March Which has more players? Though some of this is perhaps down to a small development team, it's not helped by the fact that much of the team's focus in recent months has been on banning cheaters from the game. While Fortnite has been rolling out changes and adding features pretty consistently every few weeks, PUBG has been far slower lately. Update frequencyīoth games are well-maintained and updated, but in recent months PUBG has been much slower than Fortnite to add new things to the game. This tends to mean PUBG players are far more cautious and matches can last far longer, while feeling far more intense in their final moments. And because you can’t use player-made structures to safely pin-point the locations of other players, the chances of someone hiding in an abandoned house waiting to ambush you are much higher. Generally, PUBG matches are much more tense and stressful affairs.īecause you can’t build your own vantage point or protection, you have to move to an advantageous position fast or you'll end up dead. In PUBG, when the map has shrunk down, players must use the world around them to move to higher ground or duck for cover. You could, of course, not build anything, but then you run the risk of being at a disadvantage if other players have gained the higher ground.īecause of its construction mechanic, Fortnite matches tend to be more direct in their closing moments, though not always. It’s hard to hide when you’re building something, especially on a small colorful game map, so finding other players and being found can be much faster. ![]() In some ways this encourages players to face up to one another in the end and finish things. ![]() It is worth noting, though, that all cover in Fortnite can be destroyed. When the game map shrinks to the point where things are coming to a close, Fortnite players can use all of the construction items they’ve picked up over the course of the match to build structures which will afford them protection or vantage points. But its system is less full, complex and deep than PUBG's and fans of serious shooters may find it less satisfying.Īnother big difference between the games is that Fortnite includes construction elements – something which is probably much more achievable and workable thanks to the game’s contained map and shorter game times. That’s not to say Fornite is short on weapons - there are a range to choose from, and Epic Games has stated that it'll be adding more in the future in fact, only recently it added a minigun to the mix. In any battle royale game weapons and items are key, but Fortnite and PUBG take slightly different approaches to them.īefitting of its gritty realistic visuals and large maps, PUBG has far more items and weapons than Fortnite. Whether you like to play solo, with a friend, or with a group of your friends, both titles will give you this option.īut there are big differences, the first of these being weapons and items. Gameplayīoth of these games are battle royales, and as a result they feel pretty similar in terms of gameplay and goal: do whatever it takes to survive as the map shrinks around you. But at the moment it seems fair to say that that those looking for long-lasting tense matches with plenty of risk-taking on sprawling varied maps should opt for PUBG, while those looking for something a little more contained and faster-paced may prefer Fortnite’s single, densely-packed island. It’ll take some time to determine which game is taking the better approach. Fortnite's developers have, however, said that more maps will be added to the game, just “not right away”. While PUBG prefers to opt for large individual maps, Fortnite has decided to expand and improve its existing map. Each game, then, takes a different approach to offering variety. ![]()
