Hi everyone,

We’re excited to announce our final two teams joining us in Berlin.

CGX is rather new to competitive PUBG, CGX managed to take the win for their region.

CGW started off rough, their teamwork and key plays allowed them to fight back into a second place finish.

Hi everyone,

Recently, we released our first ever Event Pass alongside our new map, Sanhok, to bring players a new way to track their progression and earn exclusive skins outside of the crate system. In the weeks since, we’ve received a great amount of feedback on this new system and how we can improve it next time around.

The Event Pass was debuted as a time limited event and unfortunately, due to service instability, longer maintenance times, and some bugs with some of the missions themselves, some players had difficulty enjoying the new content to its fullest extent. These issues will all be taken into consideration during future content planning and we thank you for your patience as we work through the kinks of this brand new system.

But thanking you for your feedback and promising to improve in the future doesn’t help you finish your current pass, so we’ve decided to run an event to help players scrape out a few more levels before the Event Pass ends on 7/21.


Simply log into the game between 7/13 and 7/15 and you will be given a one-time bonus of 400XP.

Duration: 7/13 5pm ~ 7/15 5pm PDT | 7/14 02:00 ~ 7/16 02:00 CEST | 7/14 09:00 ~ 7/16 09:00 KST

We are also providing a daily login bonus of 200XP on 7/15 through 7/20 (7/16 through 7/21 for CEST and KST). Simply login each day to receive your bonus!

Login bonus days reset at 5pm PDT | 2am CEST| 9am KST.


1. Bonus XP will appear as a pop-up once you log into the game.
2. Bonus XP Event 1 is a one-time reward for a total of 400XP.
3. Bonus XP Event 2 can be redeemed once per day, for a total of 1200XP.
4. If you have any trouble receiving these bonus rewards, please contact customer service.

Lastly, the period for Event Pass: Sanhok is almost over, so we wanted to clarify the final days of the schedule.

Sale of the Premium Event Pass will end on 7/19 7pm PDT | 7/20 04:00 CEST | 7/20 11:00 KST
Sale of the 5 Level Booster item will end on 7/21 5pm PDT | 7/22 02:00 CEST | 7/22 09:00 KST
The Event Pass: Sanhok Season will end on 7/21 5pm PDT | 7/22 02:00 CEST | 7/22 09:00 KST
Reward Settlement: 7/21 5pm ~ 7/28 5pm PDT | 7/22 02:00 ~ 7/29 02:00 CEST | 7/22 09:00 ~ 7/29 09:00 KST

During the reward settlement period, you will have the chance to claim any remaining rewards or XP.
You will not be able to acquire any unclaimed rewards or XP after the settlement period is over, so make sure you claim all outstanding rewards before that period is over.

Thank you for participating in our first ever Event Pass. While this is our first attempt at content like this, we will continue to monitor your feedback so that we can find new and better ways for you to earn great new rewards

Thanks,
--The PUBG Team

Hi everyone,

PGI 2018 is now less than 2 weeks away and we’re continuing to announce the teams representing each area of the world. Today, we’re announcing the three teams joining the Invitational from the EU region!

https://youtu.be/X---Z-6olsM

Team Liquid won an impressive three games on the first day of the qualifying round, grabbing the top spot overall. But are they fluid enough to win even one game against some of the best teams in the world?

WTSG, short for Welcome to South Georgo, entered PGI with tremendous skills and stable performances, securing 2nd place overall in the EU qualifier. The beaches in Georgo may be nice, but WTSG has to make it through some tough competition before they can enjoy that vacation.

Pittsburgh Knights showed great consistency over the 3 day qualifier, ranking anywhere from 2nd to 6th, with a 3rd place finish overall. While impressive, they’ll have to tighten up that placement range if they are to walk away with the PGI title.

We’ll continue to announce more teams as we approach the tournament, but please join us in welcoming these three teams to the PGI roster! For more info on the tournament, check out the PGI homepage and we’ll see you at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany from July 25 to July 29!

Hi everyone,

The road to PGI 2018 continues as we announce the three teams joining the Invitational from the OC / SA / MENA region!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM_ot-pC0yg&feature=youtu.be

Chiefs Esports Club - The longest standing roster in the Oceania competitive scene, have played together at the top level for nearly a year. The Chiefs favor an on-foot style of play, they focus on taking advantage of their high-level mechanical skill and team synergy. Consistent results are synonymous with Chiefs, who took home a total of three chicken dinners at the PGI Oceania Qualifier to cement their number 1 placing at the event.

Savage Esports - Less than three months since its creation, Team Savage has dominated the PGI SA Qualifier. Not only have they finished in the Top 5 six times, they’ve led total kills with 88! Szylzen is the star player of this roster and is leading individual total kills with 36. The Argentinian team with two Uruguayan players and two Argentinian players will represent SA region at PGI 2018.

Oyun Hizmetleri - Oyun Hizmetleri won the final after a four month long PUBG TGL 2018 journey. Please give them a big, warm welcome when they come thundering in to PGI 2018!

We’ll continue to announce more teams as we approach the tournament, but please join us in welcoming these three teams to the PGI roster! For more info on the tournament, check out the PGI homepage and we’ll see you at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany from July 25 to July 29!

#PGI2018 #RoadtoBerlin

Hi everyone,

Today we’re shipping a smaller update to the test server in order to address some recent bugs.

First, we want to talk about two issues from the most recent patch that we’ve already resolved with hotfixes:

• It was discovered that planned server optimizations for Sanhok hadn’t been properly applied, and this was resolved with a hotfix pushed out on July 9th.
  
• There was also an issue preventing ping-based matchmaking in NA, which we resolved by shipping a hotfix over the weekend. The problem was exacerbated in part by a bug that set the default region to NA for all players (which caused many players to queue up for NA without realizing it).

This test server period will be open in a limited capacity on the following servers to consolidate the smaller matching pool and decrease queue times.

AS - TPP
Solo / Duo / Squad

NA - FPP
Solo / Squad

Below are details of some additional quick fixes we’re shipping with this patch.


Gameplay

• Improved off-road driving performance of the pickup truck.
  
• The iron sight default zeroing for all SMGs is now 100m.
  
• The crossbow’s zeroing will always be 25m even with a scope attached.

Bugfixes

• The revive bug has been fixed.
  
  • When reviving a team match, in some instances the revive would not complete, even when the time remaining reached 0. This has been fixed.
• Fixed an issue with the wrong 4x scope (ACOG) reticle was used on the SLR. A cross type reticle is now used, instead of the chevron.
  
• Fixed an issue preventing you from being able to aim right away after switching over from the driver’s seat.

PGI Theme

• All 20 teams participating at PGI will have their logos displayed on the loading screen
  
• Added PGI team graffiti to locations across Erangel
  
  • These will be applied to Miramar and Sanhok at a later date.
• Removed the PGI regional qualifier graffiti

There’s one other bugfix which we’ll also ship before this update comes to live servers: It has to do with an issue that’s sometimes preventing players from being able to revive their teammates. This bug was unfortunately introduced because of new code related to revivals that helps us better detect certain cheats. We generally don’t mention changes of this nature in the patch notes because we don't want to give away too much information to cheaters.

Finally, after receiving a lot of feedback from players who love Sanhok, we’re also going to turn on MMR matchmaking for the map on live servers soon. We agree with the feedback we’ve received from many of you that this will make the map a more meaningful and competitive experience.

MMR based matchmaking is now active on Sanhok.


Our goal is to always work to give you a better battle royale experience. To do that, we know that we have to ship more performance improvements and additional bug fixes. We agree with the criticisms of the game that many of you have made recently, including comments that our efforts need to be more effective and that the game still needs more improvement. We greatly appreciate this feedback and we know that all of it comes from a place of support and love for PUBG.

Right now we’re developing new plans to resolve various problems facing PUBG, prioritizing server performance, client-side performance, anti-cheat, and bugs. While we’ll continue shipping new content and preparing for PGI over the next few weeks, we intend to have more concrete info to share about these plans shortly after PGI is over. Our dev team is doing their best to make sure that our plans are well-laid out so we can announce meaningful and detailed changes.

We love PUBG as much as you do, and we’ll continue doing everything possible to improve the game.

Thanks for playing,
Your friends at PUBG Corp.

Hi everyone,

The road to PGI 2018 continues as we announce the three teams joining the Invitational from the NA region!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE-yDgUWPvk

Team Gates proved that consistency is key. Playing for position, with the occasional bit of circle luck, they ended up in first place overall in points with an average placement of 7th per game. But with everyone bringing their A-game in Berlin, will slow and steady win the race?

Ghost Gaming, despite facing roster difficulties before the tournament, ended Day 1 with a record setting 1945 points & 42 kills in only 4 games! With the return of EnergeticTurtle and their shotcaller, Balloc, boosting the team’s spirit, the rest of the competition should definitely be afraid of these ghosts.

Honey Badger Nation is the poster child for an open qualifier, having formed for the sole purpose of qualifying for PGI. With key playmakers like w1ckk holding out as the last man on his team and securing the chicken dinner with a rain of grenades against 2 squads, their goal of qualifying may just turn into winning the whole thing. But will their wildcard style and unorthodox shot calling be enough against the seasoned team play of the other competitors?

We’ll continue to announce more teams as we approach the tournament, but please join us in welcoming these three teams to the PGI roster! For more info on the tournament, check out the PGI homepage and we’ll see you at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany from July 25 to July 29!
