Much of PUBG Mobile's success in the last few years can be credited to the periodic updates released by its developers.

The previous update of the game, PUBG Mobile 1.1, was rolled out in November last year, bringing a series of new features to the battle royale sensation.

The PUBG Mobile 1.2 update is now just around the corner and is set to be released on 12th January.

This article covers all the new game modes that are set to be added to the 1.2 patch update of PUBG Mobile.
