'Player Unknown's Battlegrounds' Test Servers Delayed Due To Unexpected Issues
"Player Unknown's Battlegrounds" test servers have been delayed due to "unexpected issue during internal testing." The servers were set to introduce vaulting and climbing mechanics to the game but now it appears that players will have to wait a while to experience these new features.
"When the test servers are deployed, we will be running them for a long time and it's crucial that they operate in a stable environment," reads a post on the game's official Twitter account. "Therefore we feel that we have to delay the first test schedule for PC 1.0 to allow for a smooth testing of the new features and content."
In a follow-up tweet, the developers said that they are working to "resolve the issue quickly" and will announce new dates for the test servers once the issue is fixed. The test servers were set to go live this week with the 1.0 release on PC expected to follow in late December.
