Since the beginning of the first round of beta testing, the PUBG Mobile community has been discussing different aspects of the upcoming 2.1 update. After weeks of excitement, the long-awaited update has finally arrived; it includes new modes, a collaboration, and more.

Gamers who have not downloaded the update yet are not only missing out on the new feature but also playing with their friends on the newer version. As a cherry on the top, gamers who update the game until July 17 will receive 3,000 BP, 100 AG, and a Wild Rave Helmet (3d). Thus, missing out on the update is not the best idea.

Note: Due to government-imposed restrictions, Indian players are advised not to download or install PUBG Mobile. They can wait for the release of the BGMI update to enjoy the game.
