PUBG's first Meta Rotation season puts Light Machine Guns centre stage with substantial buffs and a new 7.62mm LMG, while vehicle combat gets significantly harder.

PUBG Studios has completely rebuilt its onboarding with a structured 17-chapter Basic Training and daily Beginner Training missions, plus console graphics options and significant map changes to Taego and Rondo.

PUBG's latest update introduces an AI-powered duo mode and overhauls its Ranked progression system with a focus on survival.

Update 41.2 brings a new heist mode, melee execution animations, and a Harley-Davidson crossover, plus a heads-up that six weapons are leaving the game next month.

PUBG Update 41.1 brings Destructible Terrain to Erangel, adds two new weapon attachments, and confirms six weapons are being cut from the game in June.

PUBG: Battlegrounds turns nine this update, and Krafton is marking the occasion with in-match events, Rondo changes, and a quiet but meaningful Crowbar removal.
