New PUBG Savage Map: How To Get Beta Access
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds‘ new map, Codename: Savage, officially enters player testing on PC tonight. The game’s closed experimental server goes live at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET ET (3 AM BST on Tuesday), and players can now sign up to give it a try. The test runs from now until April 5 at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET / 12 PM BST.
You can sign up to access Codename: Savage’s test server here. PUBG Corp. says this is a smaller test, and you’ll need a copy of the base game already to play. The developer also says it plans to run bigger tests in the future, once it’s “gotten the map into a better state.”
PUBG’s creator Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene has shared some details about the new map. At the Game Developers Conference, he said the island map will be smaller and “should give you all a much more intense and faster paced Battle Royale experience.” The map is 4 km x 4 km, quarter the size of the game’s two other 8 km x 8 km maps. GameSpot will have keys to give away in the future, too, so keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook accounts for more details.
PUBG Corp. also recently rolled out an update that introduced a weapon skin system to the game. As a way to celebrate the first anniversary of PUBG’s Early Access release, the developer is also offering a free weapon skin to all players on PC for a limited time.
The Secrets Of Far Cry 5’s Open World
With the recent release of Far Cry 5, Ubisoft Montreal has added yet another open-world to the Ubisoft portfolio. This time, however, the formula is a bit different.
In the video above, Mike Mahardy takes a closer look at the changes that set Far Cry 5 apart from other games in the series, and push the open-world structure in a promising direction. Everything from side quests to navigation have been revamped, making Hope County, Montana, one of the best sandboxes in recent memory.
