About PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

✦ AI summary

Drop into ever-changing maps where you choose between safe looting or hot-dropping into dense cities for immediate combat, with every match defined by your landing strategy and loot choices. Survive the shrinking safe zone by outthinking and outgunning opponents using customized weapons and special tools, with multiple modes from team deathmatch to seasonal events keeping the action fresh.


LAND  Drop into an ever-growing and changing selection of maps to keep you challenged. Will you choose the safer outskirts and risk not getting enough loot or hot drop into the dense cities and fight from the moment you hit the ground? Every drop is different, it's up to you to make the best with what you find. LOOT  With unique weapons, a variety of supplies, and special tools to outwit your opponents, how you outfit yourself is up to you! Kit out your favorite weapons with powerful attachments or risk going after the hotly contested Care Packages for unique loot to give you the edge you need to win. SURVIVE  Stocking up is only the beginning. With the Safe Zone growing ever smaller as time goes on, your risk of running into other survivors dramatically increases. Die and you're out. You'll need to outthink, outrun, or outshoot your opponents if you're to be the last one standing and claim ultimate victory.  MANY WAYS TO PLAY,  Warm up in Team Deathmatch, try out constantly changing modes in the Arcade, drop into the latest seasonal event, or build your own custom lobby and challenge your friends to something unique. EVERY MATCH IS UNIQUE  No two battles are the same, and everything hinges on the choices you make to land, loot and survive. Drop into the Battlegrounds where victory hinges on every move and every choice, and fight to be the last one standing. Optional in-game purchases available.
