(The content of this plan may be subject to change according to development and service conditions.) ※ The plan above applies to both PC and Console platforms.
Starting with Season 14, Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok will be permanent fixtures to the 5-map Normal Mode map rotation. The remaining two map slots will be filled by a small and large map, with the specific maps changing each season.
We know decisions like this always come with questions, so we’ve prepared an FAQ that includes details on changes to help the matchmaking system better facilitate regional needs for future seasons.
FAQ
I don't see Codename: Kiki on the rotation plan! Codename: Kiki's release has unfortunately been delayed to mid-2022 as our development plans have recently shifted towards another big project that is coming very soon (no, it's not another game).
This major change of plans is also why we weren't able to deliver the second Dev Plan announcement. As for Kiki's release timing and the upcoming project, we'll be sharing more news in the coming months.
Why is Taego being removed from Featured Map and added to the rotation from Season 14? While Taego has been a popular selection as the Featured Map for some regions, we understand that for others, the matchmaking experience hasn’t been as positive.
Currently, our matchmaking system doesn’t facilitate unique Featured Map settings per region, but we’re actively developing this feature and plan to release it alongside our next map. This will allow us to implement more region-specific matchmaking solutions.
Why are Miramar and Erangel in Ranked Mode permanently? Erangel and Miramar are the two maps most synonymous with PUBG Esports and Ranked, known and loved by both players and viewers alike; we intend for them to be mainstays.
Why are you making us play the smaller maps like Sanhok, Karakin, and Paramo in Ranked? Ranked is intended to be the competitive version of Normal Mode, with small maps included. While we understand this is a point of contention within the community, we’re still actively monitoring player sentiment and can still make additional adjustments to certain gameplay settings used, such as max player numbers. Please keep the feedback coming.
Why isn't Haven a part of Ranked? Haven is our smallest map, coming in at 1x1 km. Due to its size, unique gameplay mechanics, and feedback after implementing Squads, we found Haven wasn’t the right fit for Ranked. With that said, we’re still exploring how we can best utilize Haven and its unique features in the future.
How will this map rotation plan work if a new map gets released? We’ll share details on our next map and how it fits into the updated matchmaking system closer to its release.
The Black Friday Event you've all been waiting for is back again! For a limited time only, we're giving away double the G-Coin of your purchase. So don't miss your chance, jump right in!
Black Friday Double G-Coin Promotion
- You can receive double the amount of G-Coin during the promotion period. - The promotion applies to both PC and Consoles. For consoles, G-Coin will be provided in DLC containing double the amount. - All items can only be purchased once.
PUBG esports finale of the year, PUBG GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2021 is soon approaching!
32 teams from four different regions that have gone through a year-long of fierce competition have finally made their way to the final battlegrounds to battle out the global number one team.
Read on for full details of the tournament and more
PGC 2021 Tournament Structure
The PUBG Global Championship (PGC 2021) will begin its journey with a Rank decision match on Nov 19th and ending with a Grand Final ending on Dec 19th. Just like PGI.S earlier this year, PGC 2021 will be a LAN/Online hybrid tournament. The 32 qualified teams from around the globe will be invited to Paradise City in Incheon, Korea to compete for a prize pool of over 2 Million USD. Teams will also benefit from the sales of PGC store items, with 30% of the profit being added into the event prize pool.
Now, let's get into the details of the tournament structure.
Tournament Structure
Rank Decision
PGC 2021 starts with Rank Decision matches on Nov 19th as teams fight for entry positions 1st through 32nd for the upcoming Weekly Survival.
Prior to the Rank Decision matches, teams will be divided into four groups. Group selection will take place once teams invited to Korea have completed their quarantine. The results will be announced via the PUBG Esports website approximately a week before the Rank Decision.
After the group selection, teams will go through a full league to compete with other groups for 3 days, 6 matches per day. Based on the outcomes of the Rank Decision, teams will be lined up from 1st to 32nd to prepare for the Weekly Survival series.
Weekly Series: Weekly Survival & Weekly Final & BOTTOM 16
Weekly Survival Now things get serious.
Weekly Survival matches are 16 matches played over 3 days. The objective here will be to battle against 16 teams and become the last team standing. Each match, the team which wins the Chicken Dinner will advance through to the Weekly Finals. The remaining 15 teams will be joined by the next team from the BOTTOM 16 list and another match begins until all 16 slots are all filled in the Weekly Finals.
*As an exception, Weekly Survival matches and the Grand Survival will feature WWCD format and not use SUPER Point Rule.
Weekly Final
The 16 winners of the Weekly Survival matches will compete in a 10 match tournament over the weekend.
Here, the tournament will follow the traditional PUBG Esports tournament structure and SUPER Point Rule. Teams will be competing to earn points which will be crucial for advancing onto the Grand Finals.
The winner of each Weekly Final will be granted with GUARANTEED slot at Grand Final
The winner of each Weekly Final will be granted with a special Weekly Winner prize of $30,000.
BOTTOM 16
The remaining 16 teams which failed to advance onto the Weekly Finals will compete in the BOTTOM 16 matches which take place on the upcoming Monday, after the Weekly Final.
The BOTTOM 16 is composed of a total of 5 matches to determine the next lineup for next week's waiting list for Weekly Survival.
The Grand Final & Grand Survival
Last but not least, the Grand Finals. Top 16 battle-hardened veterans will be pushed to their limits in the final battle for the PGC throne.
Winner of Weekly Finals
The winner of each Weekly Finals (3 teams) will earn a slot at Grand Final
Top 9 teams
The top 9 teams with the highest overall points from the Weekly Finals will advance to the Grand Finals
If the same team manages to win more than a week, the next team in line will advance to the Grand Finals.
E.g. Team A wins W1 & W2 → Top 10 teams will advance to Grand Finals
The Grand Survival
A day before the Grand Finals, Grand Survival will be held with the remaining 19 teams, excluding the teams already qualified for the Grand Finals, to select the winners of the remaining seats.
Grand Survival consists of 4 matches
The winner of each match will secure their spot in the Grand Finals.
*As an exception, Weekly Survival matches and the Grand Survival will feature WWCD format and not use SUPER Point Rule.
The Grand Final
The 16 teams successfully advanced to the Grand Finals will be challenged to compete in the final battle to claim the throne.
The Grand Final will take place over 3 days with 5 matches per day.
PGC 2021 final rankings will be decided based on the final placements from the Grand Final
Remaining teams that have failed to advance to the Grand Final will be ranked based on their accumulated points from Weekly Finals.
Prize Pool
The total prize pool of the PGC 2021 starts with 2 Million USD which will be distributed by the participating teams final results of the tournament. Similar to previous events, 30% of all PGC 2021 item sales contribute towards the total prize pool via crowdfunding.

The 2021 PUBG GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP draws near! Teams from around the world are already en route to Korea for the November 19th showdown, so it's time to disclose a bit more about the tournament and teams you can expect to see!
Tournament Format
PGC 2021 will be a LAN/Online hybrid tournament similar to how PGI.S was run.
In PGC 2021, 5 teams from CHINA will participate on-line.
All other teams will be invited to participate in-person in Korea.
Ideally, we'd love all teams to be together for this tournament, but unfortunately some visa issues have prevented that this year. So this year, all Chinese teams will play together in their own arena, while the rest of the teams play together in Korea.
Both PGC arenas in Korea and China will be equipped with identical gaming setups to guarantee that teams have an equal environment to compete. In addition, both arenas will be supervised by PUBG Esports referees to ensure a fair and transparent tournament.
All teams who qualified for PGC 2021 and are traveling to Korea and will be safely quarantined, following national quarantine guidelines. They will remain in the isolation facility for the next two weeks until the tournament begins.
Update to the Participating Teams
Unfortunately, team Unicorn Phoenix Da Nang from APAC region will not be able to participate in PGC 2021 due to difficulties in acquiring a visa.
UNP's ticket to participate in PGC 2021 has been transferred to the Vietnam team next in line, GAMEHOME Ha Dong.
Team Name Updates
Some participating teams have had a name change.
ASIA
(previously) Veronica7 → (now) GNL_ESPORTS
EUROPE
(previously) Question Mark → (now) Team Unique
AMERICA
(previously) FIUMBA - > (now) KPI Gaming
Reserve Player Announcement
Teams participating in PGC 2021 are able to acquire additional 'Reserve Players' through the following rules.
Based on the player roaster submitted during PCS5, teams with 4 or less players are able to register a maximum of 1 additional player as a 'Reserve Player'
Reserve Players cannot replace the empty player slot of those who have failed to acquire a visa.
The Reserve Player is a substitute player for emergencies. Reserve players can only be utilized if an existing player is unable to participate in the match
These cases may include;
If a player is confirmed COVID-19 positive and needs to be isolated.
If a player suffers from a physical injury making them unable to participate
If officials rule that another reason is severe enough to warrant the swap
Fixed the 'cancel' error message that pops up during matchmaking.
Fixed the issue of a player's weapon getting holstered after player gets off a vehicle after using healing/boosting item in the driver's seat.
Fixed the audio issue of an observer being able to hear gun shots from a player who isn't shooting.
Fixed the issue of the sentence on the bottom of the Ranked mode results screen being cut off after the game language is set to English.
Fixed the issue of the Night Hunter Mask's color looking different from the Store's banner image color.
The issue where the Self-AED disappears instantly when it is used immediately after coming out of the water in DBNO conditions when teammate(s) is alive.
The issue where if you use Self-AED on the ground after being downed while swimming, you get killed instantly when there are no teammates.
14.2 Highlights
New Weapon: M79 can be found, not only in Taego but across all eight maps.
The new Taego weapon Mortar is easy to use in combat situations, but it can take a lot of practice to achieve reasonable accuracy. First, you must calculate the distance to the target and the expected movement path, so calculate carefully. Once you get used to it, it can be helpful to attack behind ridges where grenades can’t reach or when defending specific areas. Also, it can be effective when destroying the trunk of a vehicle. In particular, you can use various strategies in cooperative play, so be sure to use them in battle!
Once looted, it takes up a primary slot.
Deployment
It can only be deployed on flat surfaces.
It cannot be deployed on cement, iron, concrete, water, or wooden floors, or inside buildings.
Left-click to deploy the Mortar.
Press the “F” key to cancel deployment.
Requires three seconds for deployment.
Firing
The character crouches automatically once the firing mode gets activated.
The character cannot move until the firing mode gets released.
Player must have ammo in the inventory to fire.
There is a one-second delay between fires.
Modes

Custom Match
Custom Match Sandbox Mode
Not included in Ranked Season 14
Spawn
Mortar and ammo both spawn inside buildings.
Does not spawn in Supply Crates or Secret Rooms.
It can shoot between 121m to 700m in distance.

Our new M79 is a smoke grenade launcher that was created to provide quick smoke cover on longer ranges. Blind your enemies, cover your downed teammate or make a grand escape from a losing battle!
NEW FEATURE: DBNO SWIMMING
To improve the survivability of players inside water, we are now supporting DBNO Swimming. Previously a player who enters DBNO while in the water would skip DBNO and instantly die. This made any deep water a hazardous area to traverse. Now a player will instead enter Swimming DBNO, a slow swimming state which gives the player a chance to reach the shore and be revived by teammates. Hopefully, you’ll feel more confident next time you get into a Boat or swim across that river!
DBNO Players can swim for at half of the normal speed.
The air a player has in their lungs is not reset when entering DBNO, so a player who was drowning will continue to drown in DBNO.
In DBNO a player is constantly losing HP. combined with drowning HP loss this means that a DBNO player will die within 10 seconds underwater.
Reviving underwater is impossible, and any ongoing revive is canceled when either player goes underwater or moves around too much.
It is possible to revive a swimming DBNO player while floating on the water.
WORLD
TAEGO’S NEW CREATURE: CHICKEN
We are proud to introduce the Chicken, a new creature that will hopefully amuse many players during fierce combats in Taego! “Chicken? Why the heck?” you might wonder. The answer to this question is left to your imaginations.
Three different conditions apply:
Calm
This is the default state and, at the same time, the most stable emotional state. Calm as a monk, and nothing special.
Fear
The Chickens fly, not, run for their lives in the following situations.
When hearing
Punching
Footsteps (except prone sound)
Gunshots
Engine and exhaust sounds
Other creatures die
Death
Sadly, there’s an end to everything. Taego’s amuser also passes away once hit. They take damages from guns and grenades, then turn into fried chicken upon death. Sorry, a bad joke, they go to where we all go.
CUSTOM MATCH
Five new Taego areas have been added to the Team Deathmatch preset in Custom Matches.
Palace
Field
Market
Mountain
Shipyard
ARCADE MODE
Improvements have been made to Team Deathmatch Taego areas.
Market
The initial spawn points for both teams have been changed from left/right to top/bottom.
The number of spawn points that lead to the roof has been reduced.
Mountain
The number of spawn points on the bottom left of the area has been reduced.
The distance between the remaining spawn points has been adjusted to within 30m.
RANKED MODE
Based on community feedback, we have adjusted the Taego and Paramo rulesets and spawn tables to better suit the Ranked play experience.
Taego
Adjusted the Blue Zone to better fit the 8km size map.
The following features will not be supported:
Emergency Landing
Emergency Pickup
Comeback BR
Secret Room
Error Space
The following items will not be supported:
Emergency Pickup
Self-AED
Secret Room Key
M79

The size of each Blue Zone phase has been reduced and the moving speed has been increased. Therefore, the total playtime has been reduced to 18 minutes from the previous 21 minutes.
More items are spawned.
The following features will not be supported:
Secret Room Key
Panzerfaust

The previous in-game Halloween theme has been removed and replaced by the PGC 2021 theme for Normal, Custom, and Ranked Matches. The theme will be applied to the following:
We will add a button to the Profile Overview page to link your PUBG account and Krafton ID.
With the update, the PUBG account can be linked directly with Krafton ID from the lobby.
PROFILE OVERVIEW Previously, the Career page was used as the profile screen. It was difficult for players to recognize their status at a glance, and it was also challenging to identify which player they were when viewing other players’ profiles. That’s why we want to provide you with a profile overview where you can see at a glance the current state of yourself and other players. Here, you can show off your fashion sense and skin!
You can check the summary of your current season stats in “Career” → “Overview”.
You can check the last played match mode, team mode, and season summary information at the time of the current season.
Current survival level, last killed weapon mastery information, and last obtained medal information is displayed.
The summary of the player’s season stats will be visible in other players’ profiles.
Previous records, adding friends, and inviting teams are possible in the same way as in the previous record profile.
You can edit emblems, nameplates, character poses, and medals.
It may take some time after a match for the stats to be reflected.
QOL IMPROVEMENTS
DYNAMIC BLUE ZONE MESSAGE
The Dynamic Blue Zone function operates according to the number of survivors per phase in certain maps. A guiding message will be displayed so that players can be aware of it.
Maps: Sanhok, Karakin
Dynamic Bluezone Activation Conditions
2nd Phase: Activated when there are less than 30 survivors
3rd Phase: Activated when there are less than 18 survivors
4th Phase: Activated when there are less than 10 survivors
5th Phase: Activated when there are less than 3 survivors
6th Phase: Activated when there are less than 3 survivors
The following message will be displayed
The Blue Zone delay has been reduced because of the decreased survivor count.
PARAMO MINIMAP IMPROVEMENT ON UNPLAYABLE AREAS
Improved the display of the minimap to better understand unplayable areas on the Paramo map.
SETTINGS
Improved the quality in dark areas by reflecting HBAO+ in DirectX 12 options.
STORE
Changed the navigation path of the Move button on the pop-up window when a Nameplate is purchased.
The body message of the pop-up window has been changed accordingly.
The main image for single items will now be shown as well.
Purchased items will now be sent to the very end of the catalog.
However, items that can be repurchased will not be moved.
A wall background has been added to Spray item previews.
