Aston Martin Collaboration: 
Get ready to experience luxury in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS with the Aston Martin collaboration.

Seek out the Aston Martin container in the starting areas of all maps to grant access to the car for you and your teammates for the entire match.

There are more exciting updates coming within this collaboration, including the new Crafter Pass: Aston Martin, Aston Martin Crafting at the Workshop, events, and more.
 

Miramar Update - Enhancing the Environment
The 25.1 update also includes significant improvements to the Miramar map, with new areas and locations designed to enhance the overall environmental cohesion and gameplay experience.

New locations include:

• Partona: A lively bustling village complete with festivals and traditions. It replaces the previous area, Los Higos, and offers improved looting efficiency and easier navigation with a newly constructed bridge.

• Resort: Majestically perched on a hill, the Resort is conceptualised from an abandoned retreat, offering a thrilling new locale for looting. Adjusted locations of house sets and roadways enhance gameplay and looting efficiency.

• Truck Stop: An oasis for trucks and laden with materials, the Truck Stop replaces the previous Junkyard area. With its unique visual theme and distinctive battle experience, it provides a different combat dynamic to other areas.

New features have also been introduced:

• Sandstorm: A vigorous gust of sand now traverses the desert-like Miramar map, replacing the existing Red Zone. The sandstorm gradually depletes the health of players caught inside it, obstructs visibility, slows down movement, and renders certain electronic equipment unusable.

• Zipline: Players can now navigate Miramar with greater ease using the new zipline feature. With two ropes on each zipline, multiple players can use it simultaneously to traverse difficult terrain  breaching enemy-guarded areas with speed and stealth. The zipline adds an exciting layer to combat dynamics and facilitates fluid movement.

These map updates aim to provide players with more options for the initial looting phase of PUBG. The 25.1 patch provides improved connections between looting areas as well as increased cover and battle locations.
