March 7 Gaming Roundup: PUBG Hotfix, Free Devil May Cry HD, Far Cry Arcade, and More

Another day and boy, is there a lot of gaming news to go through today – PUBG announcing a hotfix update for their glitch on Xbox One; you can get a copy of Devil May Cry HD if you’re a Twitch Prime subscriber, details about Far Cry Arcade – Far Cry 5’s map editor, and finally, plenty of game and DLC launches. Well, that’s just the gist of it; here are the gaming highlights of the day.

PUBG Hotfix For Xbox One

PUBG had previously released a new update for the Xbox One version of PUBG. While the update brought about a new weapon, it also brought about a revival glitch, that allows downed players to get back into the action without having to be revived completely by their teammates. Thankfully, the team has realized its mistake and has announced the details of its upcoming hotfix.

As announced in an official forum post, the Hotfix Update (Patch 10) for the Xbox One will fix the following bugs:

• Revive bug
• Footstep/Single Fire Weapon Audio
• B and Y buttons functional while the in-game map is activated
• A handful of minor low-risk fixes.

The post further goes on to state that a version of the release build is in test, with a final version to be submitted to Cert and QA tomorrow.

As announced by Twitch in an official blog post, Capcom has collaborated with Twitch Prime. As such, Twitch Prime members can get the original Devil May Cry in HD for free on PC for the Twitch Desktop App for a limited time with their Twitch Prime membership.

While Far Cry’s Map Editor Mode has been around for a while, Ubisoft has managed to literally raise the bar with the announcement of Far Cry Arcade present in this year’s Far Cry 5. According to the game studio, it is the first Far Cry map editor which enables players to create their own solo, co-op, and PvP levels and integrate them directly into the game.

Far Cry Arcade will include assets from Far Cry 4 (including yetis) and Far Cry Primal, as well as Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin’s Creed Unity, and Watch Dogs. Furthermore, as post-launch content for Far Cry 5 is released, those assets will be added to Far Cry Arcade as well, letting you get creative with Vietnamese jungles, Martian arachnids, and zombies.
