Developed by Krafton Inc., PUBG Mobile has several modes that players are accustomed to playing. While the classic Battle Royale mode has skyrocketed in popularity, the Arena mode, especially the Team Death Match (TDM) mode, has also become a favorite amongst the users.

The February 1.8.5 mini-update has been released in the game, resulting in the introduction of the long-awaited Santorini map, designed to be enjoyed exclusively in Arena mode matches. The map was released today worldwide at 02:00 AM UTC.

The map is modeled on the Santorini islands present in Greece, portraying the congested streets and beautiful white houses present in the area. Although the map has been grouped in Arena mode (TDM), it has several different features that can elevate the users' gaming experience.
