If you ever thought you needed more PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) stuff to do and collect, then you just got your wish, PUBG Corporation is now testing a new PUBG weapon skins system in the test server environment!
Aside from that, there’s also changes to matchmaking, which might come in the form of a region-locking feature that means players who reside in a specific region will only be able to play where they are. It will be overridden for parties, though. Check out the full PUBG 1.0 update #8 test server patch notes.
- KR/JP joint server is now separated into KR server and JP server
- Leaderboard for both KR Server and JP server are added
- KR/JP players will be able to see and play on the server for their respective regions
- Those who can see neither KR sever, nor JP server, can only play in KR/JP server if they team up with a player who can see KR/JP server
Same as before, if the changes, tweaks and updates rolled into the test servers are deemed successful, then it’ll be pushed out to everyone in a new update.
