This time last year, it was PUBG setting the records and getting most of the attention in the battle royale genre, but now Fortnite is dominating in almost every way. Part of what makes Fortnite so appealing is that developer Epic Games updates and the game on a near-constant basis with new content and tweaks, which encourages players to continue coming back to see what's new and improved. And that in turn gets more people spending money on the free-to-play game's microtransactions, which have reportedly been incredibly lucrative. PUBG also updates regularly, but now developer PUBG Corp. has acknowledged that the game has "fallen short" in some ways.

In a blog post recently, the studio said it's been focused on hiring as part of its effort to "invest in [PUBG's] ongoing development." Alongside the hiring, the studio is working on new content--like the Sanhok map--and various "quality of life" improvements. On top of this, the studio is working on a "series of aggressive anti-cheat measures" for PUBG. The studio has made strides and the game is generally speaking in a better place now, but it hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows for PUBG Corp.
