PUBG Season 4 is live now, with an overhauled Erangel and a new pass

The Season 4 PUBG Update is live on PC now, letting you explore the overhauled Erangel map, which has seen changes both subtle and transformative. The first update for the season also introduces the new Survivor Pass, Aftermath, which will feature skins and items from Erangel's history, plenty of balance tweaks, a UI update and more.

The gameplay trailer gives you an idea of how the map has changed, but for deeper dive you can check out the 4.1 patch report below.

Erangel was PUBG's first map, so if you've been playing since the Early Access days, you probably know it pretty well. The broad strokes are still the same in the overhaul, so you won't be lost unless you spend too much time admiring the visual improvement and not enough looking at where you're going.

Take a look at the patch notes here.

With over a decade of experience, he's been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
