A new PUBG update is on the way with a fresh new care package weapon, balance updates, and some anniversary celebrations in store. PUBG update 22.2 will launch March 14, 2023, for PC and March 24, 2023, for consoles.
FAMAS is the new care package weapon in the free-to-play game, a deadly assault rifle, a fan-favorite weapon from the Metal Gear franchise that earned its claim to fame during the Shadow Moses incident. Krafton will also be making some balance adjustments to the AUG, M16AF, Mk47 Mutant, and P90 so play feels better and is fairer for everyone.
Later in March, PUBG will celebrate its sixth anniversary, and Krafton is running a few events to honor the battle royale’s birthday. One of them involves dropping several commemorative billboards in the game designed in collaboration with internationally renowned artist Triston Eaton. Krafton is also running a message event, where players can submit questions and messages to the company for a chance to win some real-life commemorative gear, including metal posters.
In the midst of all this and until March 31, 2023, you can drop into Intense Battle Royale, a limited-time mode that streamlines matches to a degree where the chaos of late-game battle royale is what defines the entire match.
