Season 10 of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds has arrived with update 10.1 bringing a new map with some brand new enemies. The new Haven map is a small one, dropping in a total of 32 combatants on the map. You’ve got more than 31 enemies though, because some new AI baddies will be guarding the loot this season.
December 16 PUBG Season 10 is now live on PC. Original story follows.
PUBG Season 10 goes live next week, on December 16, and introduces a new map for players to explore. By far the biggest change in the update, Haven is PUBG's smallest map yet - but it's bursting with new content and experiences.
32 players will drop into Haven in Duos teams, and exploring the urban map will be different to any PUBG game yet. Most of the 1x1 map is packed with densely populated buildings - the abandoned factories of an industrial town left to rot. However, it won't just be other players who are roaming the dim backstreets of Haven.
A mysterious company has hired an elite force of mercenaries to patrol the streets. Players will have to either hide from Pillar, or take them head-on - but beware, they have a lot of firepower at their disposal. Pillar soldiers are not only heavily armoured and heavily armed, they also employ a Scout Helicopter to patrol the map, and send armoured trucks touting heavy weapons after you if you're spotted. We don't know if the map will playable in PUBG ranked modes yet, but we'll keep you updated.

December 16, 2020 PUBG Season 10 is now live for PC players. Original story (with a new peek at the season's skins) follows.
PUBG Season 10 is fast approaching, and its first patch has landed on the battle royale game's test servers for a round of, well, testing. The PUBG 10.1 update is kicking off the new season with a bang, too - there's a brand-new map called Haven on the way, along with a new enemy faction "offering an entirely new gameplay element not seen in existing Battlegrounds", survivor pass, and more.
As detailed in the multiplayer game's test server notes, Haven is "an industrial island in the rust belt of America". It pits players against each other in the streets and rooftops of a "dense, 1×1 urban map" which can support up to 32 players at once, in either Duos or one-man Duos modes. Its various regions include carbon steelworks with loot lurking in its "fiery depths" and "gunplay at all ranges" and coal yards ("a sniper's paradise!"), as well as industrial and residential zones, an overpass, and docks.
It's a seasonal map, so will only be available for the duration of PUBG's tenth season, and its match length is shorter than most other maps' offerings. "You'll earn around 70% of the BP compared to a full-length match on another map," PUBG Corp. says.
