PUBG Mobile unveils exciting 2025 plans following the conclusion of the 2024 Global Championship. The new year promises significant updates, including new game modes, map additions, anniversary celebrations, and a massive boost to esports.

Kicking off in January is Metro Royale Chapter 24, featuring a revamped gameplay experience with enhanced blue zones and an improved airdrop system.

March 2025 marks PUBG Mobile's 7th anniversary, themed around the "Hourglass," symbolizing time and transformation. This anniversary event will introduce the Time Reversal skill and bring back fan-favorite features like the Floating Island, alongside a nostalgic design refresh.

Also launching in March is the Rondo map—an 8x8 km battleground inspired by Asian architecture and urban settings. Optimized for mobile, Rondo offers visually stunning environments and unique challenges. For similar mobile battle royale experiences, explore this list of top Android games.
