Today, Krafton unveiled an exciting roadmap for PUBG in 2025, filled with ambitious plans that could have significant implications for PUBG Mobile. Among the highlights are the transition to Unreal Engine 5, upgrades for current-gen consoles, and more high-profile collaborations. While this roadmap primarily focuses on PUBG, it's worth noting that many updates have historically found their way to the mobile version, such as the introduction of the new Rondo map.

One particular detail from the roadmap that caught our attention is the mention of a "unified experience" across different modes. Currently, this refers to a more cohesive experience within PUBG itself. However, it's not a stretch to speculate that this could eventually extend to a broader unification, possibly integrating elements of both the PC/console and mobile versions. This could even lead to crossplay-compatible modes in the future.

Enter the battlegrounds

Another significant aspect of the roadmap is the increased emphasis on user-generated content (UGC). This aligns with what we've already seen on mobile with the World of Wonder mode. The roadmap underscores the launch of a PUBG UGC project aimed at enabling content sharing among players. This move mirrors initiatives seen in competitors like Fortnite, suggesting a potential strategy to enhance player engagement and creativity across platforms.

The possibility of a fusion between the PC/console and mobile versions of PUBG is intriguing, though currently, it remains speculative. The roadmap clearly signals a major push forward for PUBG, and it's reasonable to anticipate that PUBG Mobile will follow suit in some respects as 2025 unfolds.

However, a potential challenge lies in the planned shift to Unreal Engine 5. This significant upgrade would necessitate a similar transition for the mobile version, which could present technical hurdles but also open up new possibilities for enhanced graphics and gameplay experiences on mobile devices.
