Описание: What’s Trending

1. Roadmap & new features

PUBG’s 2025 roadmap emphasizes expanding existing maps rather than adding entirely new ones.

They plan to introduce Destructible Terrain in maps like Taego, Miramar, and Erangel — making environments more interactive.

More seasonal events, collaborations, and dynamic world changes are expected.

Gameplay refinements: more actions (interactions, vehicle maneuvers), new items (camouflage nets, improved UI), polishing audio & visuals.


2. Competitive & esports direction

In 2025, PUBG is expanding its TPP (third-person perspective) tournaments, with regional scrims and a structured pathway for amateurs to reach higher levels.

The PUBG Global Championship 2025 (PGC 2025) is scheduled, giving top teams a global stage.

PUBG Mobile’s major tournament in 2025: PUBG Mobile World Cup 2025 with big prize pools and global participation.


3. Platform support changes

PUBG will drop support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as of November 13, 2025, shifting focus toward current-gen consoles for better performance, stability, and more advanced features.

Accounts and purchases will be transferred automatically, but players must upgrade hardware to continue.


4. Player base & popularity

PUBG’s player counts are on an upward trajectory again. In mid-2025, average concurrent players on Steam were over 309,000, higher than in June 2024 (~287,000).

The shift to free-to-play has given steady long-term growth and stabilized the community.

Continuous updates, active esports, cross-platform play, and mobile dominance keep PUBG relevant.


5. Meta & balance tweaks

A DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) rebalance in Update 37.1 caused DMR usage to drop significantly, while Sniper Rifles (SRs) gained usage share.

The balance changes aim to shift weapon meta and diversify combat strategies.
