PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been getting a lot of negative reviews on Steam, as we reported yesterday, and developer Bluehole Studio has now responded to the problems in a post on the game's official website. The team apologises for the issues players are having and assures players they are working on a fix.
"First of all, we would like to sincerely apologise to everyone for the recent server issues which resulted in long waits and any inconveniences," the developers write. "Our development team has been continuously upgrading the service architecture to address the increasing concurrent player numbers and tackle any emerging issues. Despite our daily efforts, there were some unexpected issues during peak times and we were unable to resolve some of the issues as fast as we would have wanted to."
With peak player levels hitting up to 1.6 million active players the team "will prepare servers far more in advance so that they can handle a much larger number of concurrent players."
There's still no response to some of the other reasons the game is getting criticised, however, such as advertisements in the main menu of the game in China and the promotion of a VPN "accelerator" that reduces the ping connection.
