Now's your last chance to play PUBG's Paramo map

While PUBG's Paramo map was only introduced at the start of Season 9, that season's now coming to an end, which means it's being removed very shortly. At 3x3km, it was one of the battle royale game's smallest maps. It's unique, too, as it changes every single match and has an active volcano you need to be wary of.


PUBG's Season 9 ranked mode ends on December 16 once servers go into maintenance, according to the game's Season 9 ranked rewards announcement, so it looks like you have about two weeks to give the map a go before it's gone forever. Around the time of the Paramo map and Season 9 release, PUBG also launched an official lore website, which has provided an extensive background to the map if you would like to learn more.


PUBG Season 10 begins as soon as maintenance ends on December 16, at which time you will be able to collect all of your hard-earned Season 9 rewards. The details on what Season 10 will bring haven't been announced yet, but we should get a launch trailer and details on the rewards closer to release.

PUBG's PS5 and Xbox Series X versions to receive big improvements next year

A recent blog post from Joon H. Choi, lead project manager of PUBG's console versions, has shed more light on the game's next-gen performance goals and development. As is, there is currently no native next-gen version of PUBG, with the team instead focused on providing solid backwards-compatibility support for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 hardware.


Choi says that many fans have been calling for higher-quality graphics, boosted frame rate caps, and additional features to benefit the next-gen experience. The Xbox Series S uses the Xbox One S version of PUBG, which previously meant that any changes made to either version would affect the other. The team has now found a solution that allows for changes to be made to a specific device, which has resulted in a 60 FPS version becoming possible on Xbox Series S with update 9.2.


In theory, this workaround should allow the team to make greater enhancements to other versions of the game, but the decision has been made not to do so. "This is where we cross the line between backwards-compatibility and native support", says Choi.
