PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS News

Hello players!


We’d first like to thank every one who participated in the second Fan Art Contest of the year.


With the contest’s theme based on one of the most popular equipment – the BACKPACK (LEVEL 2) – we’ve received many submissions from talented participants all around the globe! And of course, selecting the top five was extremely difficult as every design manifested outstanding qualities.


But without further ado, let us go ahead and announce the top five finalists. Out of the final five designs below, the final winner’s design will be nominated based on public vote’s results. The design will then be created and released as an in-game skin.


We encourage you all to vote for the Backpack design you’ll want to see and equip on the Battlegrounds! Voting will also earn you a cool Spray reward, so make sure you don’t miss out.

Hello players!


We’ve already told you through our Dev Plan 2022 that Vikendi will be going through a large-scale revamp that includes new features, shifts to terrain/areas, and more.


Vikendi received many love as PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ unique wintery map, but it also went through various in-game issues during its service. Thus, we decided to withdraw Vikendi from the pool for a while and work on improving several aspects of the map.


After months of improvements, the overhauled Vikendi is now almost ready to reveal itself to you all. But before its grand update, we’d love to meet you via our upcoming “PUBG DEV TALK: VIKENDI REBORN” a livestream where the devs will talk about our new winter wonderland!
