As per the speculations, the PUBG Mobile 1.9 update will be made available between March 15 and 20, considering the fact that the previous releases were made available before the end of the Royale Pass (the current pass ends on March 21).

The usual release timing is UTC + 0, although the preceding 1.8 version was available at 11:00 AM UTC. Because of this, the developers can follow either of these times to release the latest edition of the game.
