Now available for the popular battle royale title, Update 33.1 for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS brings with it a fully destructible Sanhok Map.

Scope out the major updates for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Update 33.1:

Sanhok Goes Destructible

Continuing the environmental destruction that was introduced in Rondo, Sanhok will also evolve into a destructible map. 

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS players can now destroy buildings, structures and objects with explosives, adding fresh gameplay dynamics and a new intensity to combat.

Not only does this lead to a more immersive and realistic environment, the Red Zone has also become a destructive force as well. Explosions in the Red Zone can now destroy terrain and structures, bringing a heightened intensity to the battleground.

Survivor Pass: Let It Snow

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS players will be able to celebrate the holiday season with the winter-themed Survivor Pass: Let It Snow, packed with festive missions and rewards.

Same Language Team

A highly requested new feature will launch in Normal Match for PC players.

As a result, players can now be paired according to their language preference, thereby ensuring smoother communication. 

Gunplay Enhancements

After a number of gunplay adjustments throughout the year, the developers are wrapping up with a final SMG rebalance, giving them a major accuracy buff which will make the weapons more effective in close-range combat and one-on-one encounters.

Ranked Season 33 

The latest season will offer competing players new permanent rewards like the FAMAS weapon skin and tier-specific bonuses with the leaderboard resetting after the live service maintenance.
