One of the most significant changes the game will undergo is a shift toUnreal Engine 5. The game is currently built on Unreal Engine 4. The team plans to shift to Unreal Engine 5, dubbing it the “start of a new journey.” However, they didn’t confirm whether, with the engine change, the game will also be ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Furthermore, PUBG will introduce destructible environments in the game. As the video showcases, the player can dig up protective covers around the map or use explosives to create cover holes. This will allow players to gain tactical advantage in a match, protecting them from any incoming volley of bullets. Players will get a glimpse of it with the upcoming April update.
