PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS feature 3

PUBG has sold more than 70 million units worldwide


PUBG Corporation announced that PlayerUnknown’s Battleground has sold over 70 million units to date. To commemorate this milestone, the latest update will return to the jungles of Sanhok with PUBG Season 8. The team has remastered this map to be leaner, meaner, and more deadly than ever before.

When survivors drop into Sanhok, they’ll discover that almost every structure, tree, rock, and material in the map has been rebuilt from the ground up. Using data and player feedback, many locations have had extensive design and art upgrades. Popular locations, such as Boot Camp, Ruins, Pai Nan, Khao, and Quarry have all received major updates. For those keen on exploring, new locations and hidden gems can be found around the island, including a new tourist town “Getaway”, and bootcamp “Airfield.” From the Ruins to the Cave, Sanhok has been updated to increase its visual fidelity, balance, and performance.

Alongside the Sanhok Remaster, Update 8.1 will also be full of new and thrilling additions, including:

  • The Loot Truck. Driving the roads of Sanhok are autonomous cargo transports that offer players a brand-new way to gear up. As these trucks take damage, they will drop some loot and continue on their way. Players persistent enough to destroy the truck will get an even bigger cache of weapons and gear for their squad.
  • Confiscated Weapons. Players who take down the Loot Truck will get fully customised weapons. For the first time ever in PUBG, players can pick-up weapons that come with pre-installed attachments and unique skins.
  • Improved Jerry Cans. These explosive bundles of joy are making their revised debut.

Lastly, this update will be available on the PTS tomorrow, July 15th.
