PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS News

With the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Global Invitational.S well underway, one of the tournament's biggest teams, FaZe Clan, has today announced a special jersey collaboration with developer Krafton.

The jersey celebrating PGI.S - which is currently taking place in South Korea - "comes in black or red, and features the iconic FaZe Clan and PUBG logos as well as a tiger decal to pay homage to the PGI.S 2021." This is also a significant moment, as it marks the first time an esports organisation has had the chance to work with Krafton on official merchandise.

"We are honored to be the first esports organisation to work with Krafton on official merchandise, and further FaZe Clan's presence within the community," says FaZe's head of esports, Erik Anderson. "The passion our fans show on a daily basis is what drives us here at FaZe, and we hope they'll love what we've cooked up for them to wear while they're cheering for the team any given FaZe Sunday."

A client update for the PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds left a number of players scratching their heads when they discovered they had been banned from the battle royale game. It turns out that a bug in the update process had caused the bans, and the developer says it's working to reverse the effects.

"Earlier today some players were impacted by incorrect bans caused by a file validation error after a client update," Krafton explained in a tweet to the official PUBG account today. "The error which caused these bans has been identified and resolved." About 90 minutes later, the company tweeted that all of the incorrect bans had been reversed.

Of course, simply reversing a ban doesn't fix the problem - players' reputation scores were impacted as well, and it took Krafton another several hours to restore the accounts to their pre-ban reputation levels. The developer says it has granted every player struck by the incorrect ban and reputation score hit a free 5 Levels Survivor Pass Coupon.

PUBG is getting a new season of content, tweaks, and map changes soon. Krafton has revealed that Season 11 begins on March 31 for PC before coming to consoles on April 8.

Update 11.1 is already on the PTR, too, so you can test everything out if you hang your hat in the realms of PC gaming. The headline feature this time around is the reintroduction of the Paramo map. We initially saw it arrive in PUBG late last year, and it's been brought back by popular demand. It's much the same map you'll remember, but it comes with terrain improvements, an expanded dynamic world system that modifies major landmarks between matches, and increased spawn rates in the secret room and for the care package helicopter. You can also create custom games with the map if you're feeling inventive.

We're also getting a new lootable item this season called Emergency Pickup. It comes in handy if you're stuck in the storm (hey, it happens) and need to get out ASAP. The item allows you to call a fulton balloon you can hook yourself to once a plane arrives. The plane will then whisk you and the squad into safety so you can carry on hunting down that chicken dinner.
