Last Updated:
PUBG Mobile had a little downtime recently to patch the game to version 1.8. But what new stuff have we got? Spider-Man that’s what! At least for a limited time.
Between now and Valentine’s Day (14th February) you can enjoy playing as Spidey himself as Tencent and Sony Pictures team up to promote the new Spider-man movie.
The update is billed as Aftermath and the entire Livcik map has been destroyed by a massive volcano – which considering the eruptions we are seeing around the planet of late, makes life all the more realistic.
PUBG Mobile 1.8 Patch Notes
there are tons of changes added to the game and you can read the full patch notes at your leisure right here, but we have picked out a few of the highlights so you don’t need to wade through everything yourself.
Basic Mechanics Improvements
