We wanted these features ever since we first started playing the game.

There are more games for PC than there are for game consoles.

The wildly successful battle-royale-style game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is getting three major updates that many players asked for.

The updates were announced on Monday during the E3 PC Gaming Show, and streamed on PC Gamer's YouTube channel.

Those updates include new gameplay maneuvers and animations, like climbing and vaulting over obstacles, as well as new weather modes, like fog and a beautiful dusk setting.

While the updates may not seem significant for those familiar with big-name AAA games like the "Call of Duty" franchise, it's a big deal for a game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds," which is still unfinished and yet so popular. Indeed,

It's not yet known when players can expect an update containing these features, but it shoudn't be too long judging by the constant updates rolled out by Bluehole Studios. Check out the new features coming to "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds:"

1. Climbing over obstacles.

This is a big deal, as players aren't currently able to jump over obstacles that should be easy to clear, especially when you have the adrenaline that comes with a life-or-death fight coursing through your veins.

Here's what climbing over a car hood looks like in the upcoming update.

This could let you get a better look as you scan the horizon for potential enemies, but it could also make you target practice for danger that lurks nearby.

2. Vaulting

Sprinting away from danger is the only way to get out of a sticky situation in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" at the moment, so it's good to see a new option to evade a barrage of bullets more quickly in the upcoming update.

And here's what vaulting over a car's hood looks like.

And you can even jump out of a window for a quick escape, too!

3. New weather modes, including fog.

Currently, there are only two weather modes in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds:" bright and sunny, and overcast and rainy.

A beautiful "dusk mode" is also coming.

And there was a sneak peak of a new weapon, too.

I'm not familiar with this weapon, but whatever it is, it looks compact, awfully mean, and full of ammunition that it simply must get rid of.

You can play "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on PC now, and it was announced during E3 that it's coming to the Xbox One exclusively for consoles later this year.

It'll come to Xbox One "later this year."
