PUBG says maintenance times and update details can change. Check the live service notice before a planned ranked session.
SLB: Dawnbreakers of Rondo
The limited-time mode asks players to power generators, survive Rondo’s deep night, and reach dawn. The patch notes describe the mode as upcoming, so the in-game event page remains the authority for its live window and final rules.
Messages, markers, and vehicle spawns
The message radial adds Request to Board with “Get in the vehicle!” and replaces Thank You with Request to Move. World item markers are limited to 300 meters. Care Packages, Deathboxes, Vending Machines, and the compound item Loot Truck Crates use world markers. Off-screen indicators can point to markers and teammates outside the current map view.
Vehicle types and quantities are aligned between Normal and Ranked on Erangel, Miramar, Taego, Vikendi, Deston, and Rondo. Applicable maps receive six Motor Gliders: two fixed spawns with some fuel and four random spawns among 20 possible locations without fuel.
Console controller improvements
Console adds two presets: PUBG Standard for a lower learning curve and Shooter Standard for more consistent action mapping. Existing Type A, B, C, and Custom presets remain available, and saved controller settings are retained. Marker and message radial selection now uses the right stick, enemy markers work without aiming, and held-button activation is slightly faster.
Custom presets can assign Scope Aim and Kick to the same button. If an existing Custom preset does not recognize Kick after the update, PUBG advises resetting that preset and configuring the bindings again.
