PUBG announced Thursday that it will soon add a long-awaited multiplayer mode.
There are numerous modes available in PUBG, with ranked and unranked variations. However, the game’s classic Solos mode, which has players competing to be the last person standing, has been omitted from ranked competition. Rather, the battle royale’s ranked modes have focused on squads.
The PUBG team will soon update the game with a Ranked Solo mode, according to a statement from the game’s support Twitter account. Its statement says that the team has carefully worked to add the mode while ensuring the stability of the game’s “other queues and modes.” Further, the statement promises to provide more information as it becomes available.
As Solos is one of the game’s original modes, its upcoming ranked variation should provide a fresh way to play. However, as was the case with the Ranked Mode’s addition earlier this year, players could see this as too little, too late. Whereas many battle royale games introduced ranked modes at or near the start, PUBG‘s addition of ranked modes was seen as delayed.
The PUBG team seems to be interested in capitalizing on its competitive elements as of late. Recently, 2.2 million players were banned from PUBG Mobile over the course of a week for using a variety of hacks. Banning cheaters isn’t necessarily new to PUBG, as many players have been banned in total, but the game’s one-week purge was jarring for many.
While the new update’s release date is currently unknown, Thursday’s Twitter statement comes on the coattails of Updates 8.1 and 8.2. Update 8.1 brought various gameplay tweaks and changes to the Sanhok map, as well as presentation improvements. Moreover, Update 8.2 added a new weapon and visual updates to existing weapons in the game.
Although PUBG has seen many welcome changes, the game has also seen controversy, including being banning in India. The game managed to avoid being prohibited by the country in late July, but PUBG Mobile was officially banned later due to “cybersecurity concerns.”
On a brighter note, PS Plus subscribers who have yet to play PUBG can download it for free throughout September as one of PS Plus’ free games. Given the game’s regular $29.99 price tag on the PlayStation Store, interested PS Plus members who want to join PUBG‘s 70 million players should consider download the battle royale before this deal ends.
PUBG is available now on mobile devices, PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
