Finally, there is a map selection for PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds), where you can choose your desired map before starting and no longer have to rely on chance.
Since the second map “Miramar” was released in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, players had to accept their fate. It decided for them before the start of a round on which map the battle would take place: on the green Erangel map or in the desert of Miramar.
This was problematic, because as it is with maps in online shooters, some are simply not well received by players: Many PUBG players hated the newer desert map Miramar.
With the new feature, Bluehole wants to give you back a piece of gaming quality.
Map Selection in PUBG – Finally choose between Miramar or Erangel
In recent months, the calls from the community have grown louder. People want a map selection to exclude their “hate map” and not be forced to play on it (or leave the match early). In between, players even came up with the idea to remove a map from the game data so that PUBG doesn’t even consider selecting it.
In an announcement on Steam, the developers now explain that map selection will be implemented in PUBG. However, they had to clear up some issues first. To make the selection work, the developers gathered feedback from players worldwide and are now satisfied with this version of the map selection:
They want to closely monitor the selection when new maps come into play and possibly make adjustments. The UI shown in the screenshot could ultimately look different in-game. However, it should work as follows:
- You can select maps you want to play with a click
- If you do not want to play a map, you simply remove it from the selection
- If you have selected more than one map, the game will randomly select which one you play on
The work on this new feature is nearing completion for testing on the test servers. An exact release date has not yet been set.
