Some fans have gone so far as to suggest the game added bots because it’s “dying”, and not to molly-coddle new players into staying. If the aim was to ease frustration against the player base (and retain new players), it appears to have done the opposite, looking at the public outcry. So, were bots added to help along with the emergence of new players due to Stadia? It can’t be denied that this may have prompted the devs to add bots to help beginners get used to the game, but for existing players, the decision has been irritating, to say the least. It seems far too coincidental that this news would come at almost the exact time that the PUBG devs announced that bots would be introduced to the console version. Google Stadia recently made a surprise announcement that Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds would be immediately added to their game streaming service. I would like to play tonight with my squad but will happily play something else if the bots aren't removed.- Slater COULD THE CULPRIT BE GOOGLE STADIA?
PUBG CONSOLE UPDATE
But surely, there’s no reasoning for them to be introduced to console? The bots in PUBG Mobile aren’t a secret, neither have the devs tried to keep it a secret. It’s more difficult to play as fluidly as PC and console players, as it is on mobile, so having opponents who aren’t incredibly tough to beat will entice new players to keep playing. It’s worth mentioning that PUBG Mobile has long had prevalent bot lobbies, and this could be player retention reasons. Since the PUBG new update (7.1), players have been noticing more and more bot players in their games, and it left some fans wondering why does PUBG have bots?
PUBG CONSOLE FULL
It appears players are loading into their lobbies to find it full to the brim with bots. There is also a mobile iteration, PUBG Mobile, which is the 4th most-played mobile game worldwide.
Its combo of easy-to-grasp controls, decent graphics, and realistic gunfights joined to make one of the most successful games of the genre. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the most popular Battle Royale games out there, for both PC and console, and for good reason.
