Worst day of my life yesterday, I’ll be off for a few days and I’ll tell you what happened. I was kidnapped yesterday along with my girlfriend and her mother. We get the money back, but what about the psychological (loss) and the safety of walking around?

Krafton has clarified that their latest battle royale game called Battlegrounds Mobile India will not have any emulator support in the near future. The developers stated that they have no plans on supporting emulated version of BGMI. PUBG Mobile emulator version had a big player base in India but seemingly, they will need to shift on mobile devices for Battlegrounds Mobile India.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is very similar to PUBG Mobile and yet, it has a different framework and set of rules by which the game differs from the global version. It is molded to align better with the regional demands.

The developers recently published a list of FAQs, answering some of the most asked questions and in that list, it was revealed that Battlegrounds Mobile India will not have an emulator support. This stance is still temporary and Krafton might launch it but not in near future.

The reason for not providing an emulated support is due to the difficulties in monitoring the malpractices on such a platform. When asked if BGMI will have an emulated version, Krafton stated the following:

“Unfortunately, in emulator version, it is expected to happen easier the illegal actions such as falsification, etc. compared to the mobile environment. So there is currently no plan in terms of supporting emulator version. If there is any change upon support of emulator version, we will further inform you through another notice.”

Krafton has answered several other questions as well and many of the new features which are seen in PUBG Mobile are still under review or there are no plans on its release yet. You can read the entire segment by clicking here.

Nodwin, Valorant & Gillette: The Recipe Of A Lucrative Esports Event

Nodwin Gaming‘s Valorant Conquerors Championship was the pinnacle of Valorant esports in the South Asian region. This tournament was backed by Riot Games, making it the first official Valorant tournament for the region and the fanbase witnessed the best competition India has to offer. Gillette ventured into Indian esports by joining hands with Nodwin Gaming and it created one of the most celebrated esports event in India.

Gillette is an American brand of safety razors and other personal care products and its Indian subsidiary entered into a new market by partnering up with Nodwin Gaming.

The new FPS title by Riot Games gained a lot of popularity in India since its launch and ultimately, its allied esports scene grew as well. This resulted into India being the home for multiple top-tier teams and hence, they dominated in Valorant Conquerors Championship 2021.

Gillette contributed in Indian esports for very first time and helped Nodwin Gaming in hosting a successful Valorant tournament. Gillette is also actively marketing in the Indian gaming community by sponsoring certain individuals like 8Bit Thug, Scout and Ghatak on different occasions.

Nodwin Gaming is a veteran name in Indian esports and has hosted a plethora of tournaments in the past but this was their first Valorant tournament till date. Despite handing a new title, they successfully hosted this event and opened a possibility of hosting similar events in the future as well.

Valorant Conquerors Championship opened a pathway for professional Indian teams to prove their mettle and tread a tough road to qualify for VCT 2021 via APAC last chance qualifiers.

The VCC grand finals was a clash between two Goliaths in the form of Global Esports and Velocity Gaming. Both of these teams have been dominating in India and they proved their worth in front of the entire South Asia.

Sony to offer free PS4 to PS5 upgrade for Horizon Forbidden West

0

Horizon: Forbidden West was originally set to release later this year but got pushed to early 2022 in an announcement during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. While pre-orders recently went live, Sony faced criticism after the company announced the following on PlayStation’s blog post,

For players looking to have access to both the PS4 & PS5 versions of Horizon Forbidden West, please purchase the Digital Deluxe, Collector’s, or Regalla Editions. Dual entitlement does not apply to the standard and Special Editions.

This meant that owners of the PS4 Standard Edition of the game could not upgrade to the PS5 version, despite being promised the opposite during PS5’s launch, forcing players to spend extra on the Digital Deluxe Edition, Collector’s, or Regalla Edition as all three offered a free next-gen upgrade. 

Sony has now back-tracked on their decision, as Jim Ryan, Sony’s President & CEO, states “players who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free.” Furthermore, all future (digital & physical) cross-gen titles will require a $10 upgrade fee, this includes the upcoming God of War sequel and Gran Turismo 7.

Horizon: Forbidden West launches on 18 February 2022 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
