PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS News

All your Battlegrounds are belong to us

What was the saying? Oh yes. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. You Survivors revel in your victories over each other and still have the gall to drag us into it. Well, no more. You've been a pox on us for far too long and the bock stops here. This time, the chickens are the top of the pecking order.

Don't believe me? This is no eggaggeration. Just look at your precious game. We're already here, clucking up your social profiles. Once my fowl plan hatches and every last one of you has been beaten, well... let's just say it won't be chicken on the menu.

But, if you dare to challenge my Henerals and their armies, look for the arcade cabinet in your precious menus, but be warned- this battle isn't going to be over easy. You have until April 12th before your game is completely mine and if you think omletting you stop me, you're sorely mistaken.

For I am PlayerOmnom and these are my Battlegrounds now.

PUBG's free-to-play version is shutting down

Krafton is calling time on PUBG Lite. The publisher took to the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds spin-off's website to update fans that service for the battle royale game is wrapping up on April 29. Krafton didn't offer much of an explanation as to why, though if you go to PUBG Lite's homepage you can read the following message:

"We are deeply grateful for the passion and support from the astounding number of PUBG Lite fans that have been with us. During the strenuous times of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope that PUBG Lite was able to provide our fans a fun way to stay safe. Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to close service after much deliberation and the time has come for our journey to end. We regretfully inform you that service of PUBG Lite is scheduled to end on April 29, 2021 (UTC)."

Krafton says the website has been closed and new downloads haven't been possible since March 30, but you can still visit it and read the service termination notice at the time of writing. The PUBG publisher goes on to explain that service ends on April 29, whereas player support for Lite will wrap up on May 29.

Update 11.1 - Now Live!

Update 11.1 is here!

You've waited patiently to drop back into the highlands of Paramo and we're excited to bring you brand new experiences there as well! In its sophomore run, Paramo is now part of the normal map rotation, meaning that all regular queues are available. We've also taken this time to tweak some map settings and lean in slightly more to Paramo's randomized terrain.

While you're out on the highlands, we've got several newly balanced weapons for you to try out. The Mini-14, VSS, and SCAR-L have all seen damage increases this season, so test out the new hardware on our next drop.

There's also a fast new way to reach the safe zone on Erangel and Miramar. The Emergency Pickup attaches you and your squad to a high-altitude balloon, allowing a plane to scoop you up and carry you across the Battlegrounds. Parachute back down to the fight below when you've reached your destination and catch your enemies by surprise- just be careful while deploying. Giant flashy balloons don't exactly scream "Nothing to see here."

We've also revamped the PUBG ID system a bit, adding 10 new medals to Medal Mastery and giving you a couple slots to show them off on your ID. You can also now view your killfeed logs, try out new ways to add friends, and more. Check out the full patch notes here and we'll see you on the Battlegrounds!

In addition to the events and contests going on, we wanted to spend some time putting together a short video about PUBG’s journey so far. It’s just another way for us to remember where we came from while looking at how far we’ve come along the way.
