In the battle royale shooter Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), update number 20 has been deployed, which, in addition to several bug fixes, is primarily expected to bring improvements to game performance.
The patch is currently on the test server, and if nothing unusual occurs, the changes will also be implemented on the live server on August 10. The performance improvements are particularly well-received by users in the Reddit forum of AMD who rely on Ryzen CPUs and thereby more on multi-core processors.
