PUBG Mobile 0.5.0 was in beta in previous weeks, so its feature set is widely known. In short, it's a slightly expanded version of the 0.5.0 update that's been live on Chinese servers for quite some time.

Update 0.5.0 was supposed to deploy alongside content Season 2 on Monday, but a critical bug delayed the release till this morning. There was plenty of community outrage over the past 24 hours, but hopefully some of that vitriol has started to heal.

While there were deployment difficulties when PUBG Mobile update 0.4.0 dropped in mid-April, it appears this particular update is going live across Android and iOS devices in fairly simultaneous fashion. Success downloading the update may vary across region in these early morning hours, but hopefully cross-platform play will be fully restored soon enough. In the event your region gets the 0.5.0 update later than others, you won't be able to squad up with any other players who have it.

To see if the update is available, simply go to the Google Play or iOS App Store and manually check for updates. The download will begin when it's available. We'll do our best to provide updates on the situation as it develops.

PUBG Mobile is available now on Android and iOS devices. The 0.5.0 update is expected to be live across both platforms.
