The new update also adds winter rewards to Survivor Pass along with new features and enhancements.

KRAFTON, Inc. launched Update 33.1 for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, which makes Sanhok the latest map to have fully destructible environments, adding a new layer of strategy to gameplay. Available now on PC and arriving on console from December 12, the update also kicks off the festive season with winter-themed missions and rewards with the Survivor Pass: Let It Snow. Full patch notes and detailed information can be found here.  


33.1 Features: 

  • Sanhok Goes Destructible: Continuing the environmental destruction introduced in Rondo, Sanhok will also evolve into a destructible map. Players will be able to destroy buildings, structures and objects with explosives, adding fresh gameplay dynamics and a new intensity to combat, in a more immersive and realistic environment. For the first time, the Red Zone becomes a destructive force as well. Explosions in the Red Zone can now destroy terrain and structures, bringing a heightened intensity to the battleground. 

  • Survivor Pass: Let It Snow: It’s time to celebrate the season with the winter-themed Survivor Pass: Let It Snow, packed with festive missions and rewards. 

  • Same Language Team: A highly requested new feature will launch in Normal Match for PC players, who can now be paired according to their language preference, ensuring smoother communication.  

  • Gunplay Enhancements: After a number of gunplay adjustments throughout the year, the developers are wrapping up with a final SMG rebalance, giving them a major accuracy buff which will make the weapons more effective in close-range combat and one-on-one encounters. 

  • Ranked Season 33: The latest season will offer competing players new permanent rewards like the FAMAS weapon skin and tier-specific bonuses with the leaderboard resetting after the live service maintenance.
