The next big update for PUBG Mobile rolls out today and it should hit the Google Play store and Apple App store any moment. A server maintenance notice was released yesterday and said that the game would be taken offline from 00:00:00 to 08:00:00 (UTC) on 11 June and the new update should roll out from June 12. The update will have a size of 1.98 GB for Android and 2.45 GB on iOS.
The new version of the game is expected to include a special partnership with Godzilla: King of the Monsters movie, new Bizon gun, Kar98k skin in the gun lab, new skins and clothing and most importantly, the team deathmatch mode.
The team deathmatch mode will be a new addition where two squads of four players each, fight each other in a small area with standard deathmatch rules. If you die, you get respawned immediately, if you kill an opponent you get one point. The first team to get 40 points, wins.
