Like most games, PUBG Mobile frequently receives updates with plenty of new features that enhance the gaming experience. While players are currently enjoying the 2.4 update, the next one is already due for release.

The 2.5 update is expected to arrive in March, but the developers of the battle royale title, Tencent Games, have released its beta variant. The beta is already available for download and contains plenty of new features, items, modes, themes, and more.
