PUBG Corp Reveals 'Sound Improvement Road Map'

PUBG Corp started working on the sound improvements for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds back in August. The team is sharing their accomplishments and which project were postponed for a 2020 release date.

PUBG Corp first showed what they fixed, "First off, we adjusted the volume of sound effects such as “flies” which was high on the list of most inconvenient sounds. We also dealt with “red zone," “vehicle engine” and “wave” sounds which were louder than necessary and offered more of a distraction than information."

"Conversely, the “Footstep Sound Rebalance,” which was an attempt to improve auditory information, unfortunately included some unintended side effects and we had no choice but to roll back those changes."

Those side effects were about sound effects on carpet when players are walking in a building or on a second floor.

While PUBG Corp didn't have an exact date on the final sound improvements, they promised an early fix, "...our goal is to have all these issues addressed by early 2020. We agree that we can do better in regards to sound and are actively working towards that goal. Thank you for your patience and we’ll be sure to release additional information when we’re ready to roll these improvements out."
