Going back to PUBG in 2021 was a mistake




The thought entered my head when I heard that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was getting a new 8x8 map this month: "Wow, when was the last time I played PUBG?" I don't hear much about the battle royale game that kicked off the trend way back in 2017, but it's still one of the most played games on Steam every day. "I should check out that new map and see how PUBG is doing!"..

PUBG Taego release times confirmed - here's when the new map goes live

The new map for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds goes live on PC this Wednesday, July 7, and now developer Krafton has revealed exactly when players will be able to access the massive new Taego map. The full PUBG Taego map release times are below, but expect the game to go offline for maintenance for a significant amount of time beforehand.


Earlier today, the PUBG developer posted on the game's Discord server the exact times when the still incredibly popular battle royale title will go offline for maintenance - and when it will come back with the Taego map available to play. PUBG will go offline for eight hours starting July 6 at 17:30 PDT or July 7 at 01:30 BST / 02:30 CEST / 09:30 KST.


Therefore the PUBG update 12.2 release times on July 7 are 1:30 PDT / 9:30 BST / 10:30 CEST / 17:30 KST - so the whole world will be able to experience the new Taego map on the live servers on the same day, at least on PC, as the console version isn't due until July 15.
