Before the developers of PUBG Mobile introduce a new version of the game, a beta test takes place where users can experience and try out the available features. The beta update for the upcoming 1.6 version was recently released.

Like all the previous versions, users must enter an Invitation Code to be admitted into the beta. They can download it on their Android devices using the APK file that is prevalent on the official PUBG Mobile beta website.

Disclaimer: PUBG Mobile is banned in India, so users from the country are strictly advised not to download it.
