The return of Deston is also a big deal on its own, and a win for community feedback! Taego will be taking some time off while PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ newest map gets more of a chance to shine.

PUBG Battlegrounds Update 22.1: The update brings Bears, Deston Map, and more in the game
You’ll find more on these key details below, and you can also turn to the full patch notes for an even deeper dive into what’s new.
Season of Vikendi
- Bears – Bears have moved onto Vikendi’s icy battlegrounds but they’re sheltering from the blizzard and hibernating for winter. Players can invade their caves for valuable loot, but we all know what happens when you poke a sleeping bear.
- Moonlight – Vikendi’s winter wonderland is completed with moonlight mode, which turns the map into an atmospheric snowscape with an aurora borealis overhead and serene vibes. Take in the beautiful sights but keep your ears open; there are still enemies around.
- Thermal Scope – Perfect for spotting targets in Vikendi’s darkened nightscape and whiteout blizzards is the thermal scope. This 4x magnification scope highlights enemies, making them easier to spot.
- Deston – Following community feedback we’re re-introducing Deston back into the Normal Match. We’re also working on a plan to reduce the time between map rotations later this year. The current selection of Normal Match maps includes Erangel, Miramar, Karakin, Vikendi and Deston. Ranked Match maps include Erangel, Miramar, and Taego.
Devs are continuing to improve the core PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDSgameplay experience by tweaking the spawn rates of 5.56mm and 7.62mm weapons (AR, DMR, LMG only) to have similar spawn rates and provide players with better options. We’re also removing vehicle models with open roofs so drivers and passengers will be a little less vulnerable to incoming fire.
