Aside from the new gun and vehicle, the biggest additions inUpdate 20 are changes to anti-cheat, object highlights and camera positioning. Nothing in these areas would necessarily be considered a drastic overhaul of the prior experience, but, in this case, they come together to form a pretty solid package. Overall, today's patch has a little something for everyone. It makes moment-to-moment gameplay better, adds new features and gives players more options with regard to how they want to play. In combination with the previous Test Server update, the start of operation "Fix PUBG" has gone pretty well so far.

PUBG Update 20 is only live on Test Servers at this time, but it will migrate to the live environment over the next few days.

PUBG is available now on PC and in Game Preview on Xbox One. Update 20 is exclusive to PC.
