PUBG Mobile 0.5.0 Update Brings About Major Changes Alongside a New Map – Patch Notes

The mobile port of PLAYERUNKNOWN’s BattleGrounds title has been a roaring success across the globe since launching in March 2018.

The battle royale game operates in an almost identical fashion to its PC and Xbox counterparts when played on a high end smartphone.

There is of course a couple of noticable differences due to the controls, with improved auto-aim and a higher tendency to shoot from the hip rather than scoping in.

For the two months since release the game has received a number of updates, but arguably the biggest has now dropped on May 15th, signalling the start of Season Two.
