Hey PUBG Mobile players, most of you should already have updated your app. This is a big update with a good reason as Tencent Games is celebrating for hitting a milestone with 400 million downloads and 50 million active daily users, so with that, they are introducing a new 4v4 Team Death Match mode, new maps, new skins such an exclusive Godzilla: King of the Monsters costume and limited theme events.
