PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS News

Dear fans,

We regret to inform you that there was an error in our earlier announcement image regarding the PGC 2023 Group Stage team placements:

- Twisted Minds should be in Group B, not Group A.
- Danawa e-sports should be in Group A, not Group B.

We deeply apologize for the confusion caused.

For further clarity and transparency, we are sharing an image of our pre-planned ‘Snake Draft’ Group Stage placement methodology.



Thank you for your understanding.

Hello players.

Following our first PUBG Care Package - Live Developer Talk, we're excited to reveal that the second episode is set to premiere on November 3rd!

In our debut episode, we delved into a heart-to-heart conversation with our players, touching on some in-game features like Tactical Gear, gunplay, and more. This time around, In-game Unit Director Tae-hyun Kim and our host Ji-soo Kim are making a comeback, and what's more, they'll be joined by the Lead of the Anti-Cheat Department, Sang-wan Kim!

We've been hard at work exploring ways to make this series accessible to our global player base - while we encountered hurdles in offering live, interactive content in every language simultaneously, we've found a solution. A separate VOD supporting multiple languages will be released on the same day as our live show, ensuring all our fans can enjoy the content.
