How to get Night Mode in PUBG Mobile

Tired of playing in the daylight like everyone else? Patch 0.9.0 introduces Night Mode, which reduces visibility to an all-time low. You are going to need your wits and a few new items to take down your enemies. Activating Night Mode does require a little bit of knowledge so allow us to help you out.

Night Mode occurs randomly in game, though it can occur more often during actual night time wherever you are. The current Halloween event also has increased Night Mode availability. If you want to play in the dark, you have to play often and at the right times. While in the lobby, you can tell if your next game will have Night Mode activated. If there are no clouds in the sky and a blue/pink hue rises overhead while you are in the lobby, you are about to start a Night Mode game.
