‘PUBG’ offers $95,000 in prizes as it drops into the creator sandbox world led by Roblox and Fortnite

In the world of battle royale video games, PUBG: Battlegrounds has fallen a long way from its 2018 high point, but in the world of creator experiences, the game once known as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is just getting started. As PUBG developer Krafton builds a world-creation engine called PUBG: Playgrounds, it is launching a contest that will see it give away a $95,000 prize pool to creators who launch experiences within PUBG. For what it's calling the PUBG: Battlegrounds UGC Contest, Krafton is teaming up with CurseForge, a company best known as a distributor of video game mods. Contest entrants can submit their worlds across three categories: Combat modes that feature stipulations like "one v. one" or "snipers only," Survival builds that pit players against larger attacking forces, and Creative experiences that bring PUBG into new genres like racing and puzzles.
