The new PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) update is now coming with these contents for PC.
A new update for the battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is on its way to you. In the patch notes, the developers explain that twelve emotes and over 30 achievements will be unlocked. What else is changing, we will show you in this overview.
PUBG March Update for PC (Number 7) – Performance
With the new patch, the performance of PUBG is reportedly improved. As the developers explain, they have worked hard on lag and stuttering issues. These often occurred when many players were in one spot or during larger firefights. Everything should now run much smoother.
The new vehicle penetration, which was actually supposed to be activated with this patch, is delayed due to issues and will be added to the game later.
The new patch will be released by the developers on the night of March 13 (around 03:00 CET). Servers will be offline from 03:00 for about three hours.
