Hello players! The PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS 2023 Roadmap released last month ushered in a change in map service plans.
We have mentioned that the goal of the 2023 map service plan is to allow players to access their favorite maps without waiting too long.
In today's announcement, we would like to elaborate on the PUBG team's intentions for the map service plan that will be implemented from Update 23. 1.
We will first provide an overview of the map service update schedule and plan summary before delving into the full details. Map Service Update Schedule PC: April 12 Console: April 20Map

※ Maps are rotated every Wednesday at 11 AM KST for PC / every Thursday at 4 PM KST for Console. ※
The map service plan and schedule for each update can be found in our monthly patch notes.
What PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team Aims to AchieveHaving a variety of maps is definitely one of the factors that add to a game's appeal.
As players have diverse preferences given the availability of multiple maps, we aim to cater to as many players as possible by altering the rotation cycle.
Why not just offer all maps and make everyone happy?
Learning a map is in some ways the toughest part of a game and going through a whole bunch of maps to master every one of them is a steep learning curve.
Too many maps available as options will also slow down matchmaking.
Hence, we took into account multiple factors, including ensuring a seamless matchmaking environment, incorporating a diverse range of maps, fostering an environment where players can improve their mastery of the maps, and providing a stable service.
We felt that 5 maps for Normal Match and 4 for Ranked would be the optimal choice that offers both variety and mastery.
This will provide some leeway for existing players, ease the onboarding process for new players, and offer pro teams the best environment to have deeper, more exciting playbooks.
Shall we now go into more details about this year's map service plan? Normal MatchIn Normal Match, Erangel and Sanhok will remain fixed, and rotation sets 1 and 2 will be rotated on a weekly basis.
We have come up with a one week map rotation cycle (4-5 rotations per update) so that a variety of maps will be more frequently available along with Erangel and Sanhok.
