The mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds now has a new map with Miramar being added to the game alongside other changes.

The official PUBG account for the mobile version tweeted out the news early on May 15 that the new update was available with a quick checklist of the key features and changes that are included. Miramar takes priority as the most important change included in the mobile patch since it means that players have one more map to play on while the start of Season 2 and more were also highlighted in the tweet.

Over on Reddit, Tencent also shared the full patch notes for PUBG Mobile's 0.5.0 update that included the new map as well as everything that's been improved in the update. Those full notes with all the new features and bugfixes can all be found below:

What's New:

  • Desert map ("Miramar") is now available for selection. See if you can find the new vehicles and weapons!
