UPDATE: The PUBG Battlegrounds update can be downloaded, as server maintenance comes to an end.
The news was announced by Bluehole on Twitter: “Xbox & PS4 Players: Maintenance is complete and the hotfix is now available for download.”
ORIGINAL: PUBG has been taken offline for a new update on PS4 and Xbox One.
The brand new Battlegrounds update will be available following a period of server maintenance.
The PS4 and Xbox One server maintenance tales place between 7am and 10am UK time.
The accompanying patch isn’t a big one, so don’t expect any major new features.
“On January 30, will be applying a hotfix to the live servers to resolve several bugs reported to us over the past week,” reads a PUBG post.
“Due to the complexity of some of the issues, we were unable to resolve them all in time for inclusion in this hotfix. We are working as hard as we can to resolve the remaining issues as soon as possible.”
The update fixes issues associated with the Vikendi Survivor Pass in Battlegrounds.
According to the patch notes, the update also fixes a problem with characters not appearing in the lobby and main weapons not equipping.
