Reminder on Sharing Accounts



Hello players!

Have you ever said yes to a "hey can I borrow your account so I can try out your Progressive Weapon Skin?"

Well, you should always say no when it comes to sharing your account information!

We've been receiving many reports on account sharing/rental actions throughout our community; so we're here today to remind you once again of the importance of protecting your account.

The act of lending your account to others - this includes close friends and family members! - violates our Terms of Service. In other words, you may end up receiving harsh penalties (such as permanent bans and/or removal of PUBG Partner status) the moment your account is shared with others.

Posts prompting and/or suggesting account sharing uploaded to official PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS community channels will be taken down without notice; and of course, you'll be receiving penalties if you happen to host/participate in such activities.

You will bear full responsibility for your account's activities - regardless of the situation, you'll be facing heavy penalties once your account is found to have gone through actions that go against our rules.

The mentioned penalties will not be lifted from your account even if you were unaware of your account activities made by others.

So just remember one thing: never let others use your account!

Thank you.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team

PUBG update 17.2 will let you 1v1 your mates

In an intense battle royale like PUBG, winning those one-on-one gunfights can be the difference between a Chicken Dinner or a smashed keyboard. To help you train for these scenarios, and to also bring a gladiatorial vibe to the game, PUBG update 17.2 is going to introduce a 1v1 training arena.


In the update, Training Mode will receive a new space for you to practice with a 1v1 arena that pits you against another solo player for a quick best-of-three. Each round will last just 60 seconds, with the sole goal of eliminating your opponent first. You can go in with whatever guns and equipment you have on you, so it's perfect for getting to grips with new or recently-balanced weapons. Or it can just be a big ego boost before you're next PUBG ranked match.


If you want to merely watch some brutal 1v1s and don't fancy stepping in the arena yourself, you can also spectate from the sidelines. Similarly to Call of Duty Warzone's gulag, you can look over the action as it plays out, and you can even cause confusion by throwing apples into the arena.
