After a month-long beta test, Tencent Games has finally given the green light for the 2.2 update's release.

Best features to excite players in the upcoming PUBG Mobile 2.2 update

As always, the latest update will possibly incorporate many new features as well as installation rewards. Here's a look at the best updates that will add to the thrill of PUBG Mobile:

1) New map - Nusa

A new 1x1 map Nusa is set to be introduced to the game in the upcoming September update. This will be the seventh classic mode map after Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Livik, and Karakin. However, unlike other maps, its smaller dimensions will ensure that combat is continuous and fast-paced.

The new map will have special features such as Lift, Special Recall, and Zipline to add further to the excitement factor.


2) Changes to Erangel

Erangel is certainly the most popular map amongst players as it has been present since the game's release. As a result, the developers are set to bring in several new changes to the 2.0 version of Erangel.

Here's a look at the changes that players will see in the upcoming 2.2 update:

  • New weather (Rainbow)
  • Flash Shop
  • Re-introduction of Mountain bike and a new bike parking system
  • Structural updates in multiple regions (like Ferry Pier, Mylta Power, and Hospital)
  • Working Gas Station
  • Targeted Supply Chest

3) New mode - Gear Front
