PUBG Season 9 will include ranked solos for the first time

Ever since PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds introduced ranked mode, fans have demanded one thing, and one thing only - solo ranked. Now that time is finally here, because PUBG Corp has announced solos are coming to PUBG ranked for the launch of Season 9.

The developer had already hinted that the anticipated mode was on the way but it had to be developed in a way that didn't harm "the health of other queues and modes." Now it looks like PUBG Corp has found a solution to longer queue times, because it'll drop with the new season in late October.

"Ranked Season 9 will start soon and features Ranked Solos for the first time, thanks to your feedback," the update says. "That's right, starting with Season 9, you'll finally be able to test your skills in the traditional Battle Royale format, standing alone against an entire battleground of enemies."

PUBG Season 9 "features Ranked Solos for the first time"

Earlier this month PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corp. announced it was "actively working on" adding Ranked Solos to the battle royale game's modes. At the time, the studio said it was trying to implement Ranked Solos "without harming the health of other queues and modes", but there was no timeframe given on exactly when it would arrive. Until now, that is - the dev's revealed it's on the way with PUBG Ranked Season 9.

Right at the bottom of a blog post on the multiplayer game's site detailing all the PUBG Season 8 ranked rewards and goodies up for grabs, the studio reveals a little about what's on the way with Season 9. "Ranked Season 9 will start soon and features Ranked Solos for the first time, thanks to your feedback!" the studio announces. "That's right, starting with Season 9, you'll finally be able to test your skills in the traditional Battle Royale format, standing alone against an entire Battleground of enemies!"

The dev adds that it's "excited" to debut Ranked Solos in the coming season, but for now it reminds PUBG fans there's still time to grab this season's ranked rewards before it comes to and end.
